Franciscan Virtual Urgent Care Delivery on value equation, through September 2014 • Enhance patient experience – Patients saved an estimated 4,200 hours in travel and waiting room time – Patients saved an estimated $600,000 health care costs • Drive new patient acquisition & retention – New patients receiving a virtual visit resulted in 75 hospital visits and an estimated contribution margin of $160,000 – New patients not receiving virtual visits resulted in 118 hospital visits and an estimated contribution margin of $338,000 • Strengthen primary care practice – 1,472 referrals for new PCP – 50% reduction in pages to our on-call PCPs • Innovate for population health – Clinical acceptance, internal champions, and a growing market for virtual care New patients are those patients who have not had a clinical encounter within the 24 months prior to their earliest FVUC engagement. Contribution Margin reflects revenue less direct costs and is calculated as gross / charges multiplied by a conversion factor for any hospital based encounters.
CHI Franciscan Health Next steps for Franciscan Virtual Urgent Care • Transition virtual visit care to CHI Franciscan clinicians • Insurance coverage • Kiosk access points / 16
