Relevant Healthcare - Diabetes Management Presentation

Powerful Solutions for Today’s Healthcare Marketplace

In today’s healthcare climate, it is critical to use innovative technology to access, manage, deliver, and evaluate the

appropriate data. Relevant Healthcare helps disease management companies maximize business value by using actionable data to reduce operational costs and encourage

proactive healthcare decision management. Relevant Healthcare provides a customized solution for your specific patient

population, and our platform can easily be integrated into new or existing wellness or medical management initiatives.

The Cost of Diabetes

Direct Cost • Approximate annual cost per diabetic patient: $13,700

• Of the $13,700 spent, $7,900 directly relates to diabetes

Indirect Cost • Increased absenteeism: $5 billion

• Reduced productivity while at work: $20.8 billion

• Reduced productivity for those not in work force: $2.7 billion

• Inability to work due to disease related disability: $21.6 billion

• Lost productive capacity due to early mortality: $18.5 billion

• Total reduced productivity: $68.6 billion

The Cost of Diabetes

• By 2024, nearly 1 in every 3 members of a health plan will have diabetes

• A diabetic is diagnosed every 30 seconds

• 80% of all claims over $250,000 involve diabetics

With costs and numbers growing every day, the time to mitigate that risk and affect that cost curve is NOW.

Diabetes Management and Monitoring

• Management of this population and disease today includes identifying the population, personalizing wellness programs, setting protocols and educating/training patients on self-monitoring their disease and how to test.

• This traditional approach is unreliable and faces several challenges:

• Reliance on a population that is notoriously non-compliant regarding testing and diet

• Lack of visibility and access to real-time testing data

• Patients’ unwillingness to fill out log books and to test according to protocols

• Case managers, physicians and family members lack the data and information that they need to help keep the patients compliant and healthy

• Wasted test strips due to that non-compliance

No visibility = No way to monitor = No way to know if a patient needs help


• What if everyone could know, in Real Time, whether the patient is testing as instructed AND what the results are of their daily tests? What if somehow that information could generate an automatic log book and reports that outline target ranges and compliance over time? AND you could set up Alerts and Watch Lists for severe patients that are monitored daily?

Relevant’s Blood Glucose Meter can provide all of that and more

...and for NO additional cost to the Plan for the devices, monitoring, reports, etc.

The only cost is the cost of the test strips


• Relevant’s Blood Glucose Meter (in partnership with Genesis Health Technologies) accurately tests glucose levels and automatically sends the results to the patient's secure, on-line, FDA approved account, which can be shared with healthcare professionals or other individuals involved in the patient’s care.

• The meter has an intuitive user interface and is easy to use.• Devices are pre-programmed and ready to use upon delivery to the patient.

• Test results are automatically uploaded wirelessly to a secure database.

• Password and User Name access can be provided to the physician, case manager and even family members if desired.

• For patients already properly managing their disease, the device removes the need to record data manually and provides vital history and trend reports to even better manage their condition


• Meter Features Include:

• Accuracy exceeds ISO 15197 Standards (2013)

• Built-in data transmission

• Small blood sample size (.7uL)

• No coding test strip technology

• Test results within 7 seconds

• Strip eject function

• Easy to use

*No charge for data transmission


• The meter provides all necessary data for proper management and monitoring

• Patient Summary Reports

• Patient Logbooks

• Watch List

• Glucose Compliance Report

• Glucose Target Range Report

• Event Based Notifications

• Participation Reports

• Utilization Report


• Accountability

• What percent of strips purchased by your plan are actually being used?

• Confirmation of no test is also useful in determining potential high risk situations.

• Usage support for patients that test more than twice per day.

• Integration with case management and disease management plans.


• The investment in this meter provides measurable ROI

• Decrease of hospitalizations

• Decrease in number of ER visits

• Studies have shown:• 76% decrease in eye disease

• 60% decrease in nerve disease

• 57% decrease in non-fatal heart attack/stroke, and death from cardiovascular disease

• 50% decrease in kidney disease

• ELIMINATION of wasted supplies


• Patient Benefits Include:

• Using this technology, RHCC can make it easier for a patient to manage his/her disease while increasing the quality of care you can provide.

• The technology provides for Auto Re-ordering of strips/materials when needed, which are mailed to the patient’s residence.

• Real Time Technology and data portal provides for a ‘teachable moment’, empowering the patient

• Convenience: the patient no longer has to fill out logs or document results

• Increased information: using the portal, the patient can gain a wealth of additional insight to his/her disease as testing data gets stratified and graphed out in ways that most patients could never do on their own.


• Payer Benefits Include:

• Reduced costs due to employees spending less time away from work

• Immediate cost savings on test strip price and waste elimination• Upwards of 80% is being wasted

• As of 1/7/15, there are more than 2,247 listings for test strips on eBay

• Each strip is monitored. If patient has not been testing, no more strips will be supplied

• Supplies are automatically renewed ONLY when needed

• Potential long term savings through fewer on-site accidents, hospitalizations, and stop loss premiums

• Ability to integrate into new or existing wellness and medical management programs


• Provider Benefits Include:

• On-demand access to true, accurate test results allowing for improved patient care

• View notes from others involved in the patient care

• Receive notifications based on extreme high or low test results

• Receive notifications based on testing compliance goals


Diabetes is a clearly a dangerous and very costly disease.

But with proper management, costs and minimizing complications CAN be controlled.

And it starts with TESTING
