3 Company Description PatientPoint Healthcare IT Business Plan Executive Summary PatientPoint Healthcare IT is a software development firm. In particular, the company specializes in helping office-based physician practices incorporate and cost-effectively utilize electronic health records (EHRs) data. Company Background The company was started to provide electronic health records (EHR) deployment services to office-based physician practices. Through this experience, the company s leadership discovered an opportunity to assist physicians, using of data-mining techniques, on how to better utilize their data produced from electronic health records. Electronic Health Record Data-mining Service PatientPoint Healthcare IT helps physician practices examine and analyze patient data contained in electronic health records (EHRs). The service benefits include helping providers (1) determine more precise treatment plans for patients, (2) track payments from private and government insurers, (3) meet meaningful use requirements to earn federal government incentive payments and (4) improve overall practice management. Info-Health Documents Data-Mining Software Data-mining software designed to sift through electronic health records data to detect patterns and assist healthcare providers with the clinical decision process. Product Development & Product Intellectual Property Status The software product is fully developed and tested. And, the company filed a provisional patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Target Buyers PatientPoint Healthcare IT offers its data-mining service to office-based, non-hospital owned, primary care physician practice, with one or five physicians, using a basic EHR system that captures patient history and demographics, patient problem lists, physician clinical notes, comprehensive lists of patients medications and allergies, computerized orders for prescriptions and laboratory and imaging results. Market Size The US Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that are approximately 230,187 physician practices in the United States. Among these physician practices, 52.8% consist of only one office-based physician. Physician group practices with 2-5 physicians make up 37.1% of physician offices in the United States.

4 Market Analysis The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) authorized incentive payments through Medicare and Medicaid to clinicians when they use EHRs privately and securely to achieve specified improvements in care delivery. Through HITECH, the federal government offers money and resources to support the adoption and use of EHRs. The federal government is providing incentive payments totaling up to $27 billion over 10 years, or as much as $44,000 (through Medicare) and $63,750 (through Medicaid) per clinician. Research data, from SK&A Cegedim, indicated dialysis and internal medicine/pediatrics are the two practice specialties are the heaviest uses of electronic record-keeping, at 80.6% and 75.8%, respectively. According to market research firm Markets & Markets, the healthcare analytics market shows a double-digit growth rate due to supportive elements such as digitization of world commerce, the emergence of Big Data, and also due to the increase in the number of advanced technologies. Factors such as federal healthcare mandates, growing healthcare IT adoption across the globe, growing fields of predictive and prescriptive analytics, and venture capital investments are driving the market.

5 Market Analysis Market Size PatientPoint Healthcare IT Business Plan The US Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that are approximately 230,187 physician practices in the United States. Among these physician practices, 52.8% consist of only one office-based physician. Physician group practices with 2-5 physicians make up 37.1% of physician offices in the United States. An estimated 76.4% of all establishments have less than five employees, and about 46.0% have no employees at all. Electronic Health Record Usage In 2013, 78% of office-based physicians used any type of electronic health record (EHR) system, up from 18% in 2001; In 2013, 69% of office-based physicians reported that they intended to participate (i.e., they planned to apply or already had applied) in meaningful use incentives. Almost 70% of office-based physicians noted their intent to participate in the EHR incentive program. Smaller practices are the driving force in EHR usage. In January 2013, 42.3% of one-physician practices and 53.7% of two-physician practices had reported using EHRs. Those numbers grew by 11% in just one year, with solo offices coming in at 53.7% and two-physician groups climbing to 64.9% for Market Drivers As part of the American Recover and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, the U.S. federal government set aside nearly $20 in incentives for hospitals and physician practices adopting electronic medical records. As of November 2014, more than 428,000 health care providers, mostly physicians, received payment for participating in the Medicare and Medicaid Electronic Health Record (EHR) Incentive Programs. In May 2013, CMS announced that more than half of all eligible health care providers had been paid under the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs The Primary Care Doctors industry is projected to benefit from the healthcare reform laws of 2010 and revenue will increase in the five years to As more individuals gain health insurance due to the reform, demand for primary care services will increase, growing industry revenue in turn. Competitors In a fragmented marketplace, industry estimates indicate nearly 1,000 companies actively compete in the EHR product market. The most recognized companies include Epic Systems, Allscripts, Misys Healthcare, eclinicalworks, NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, GE Healthcare, Cerner, McKesson, and Siemens.
