2.  Demonstrate how laboratories can obtain useful insights on marketplace dynamics and in turn share in revenues derived from their data assets.

3.  Guide laboratory professionals to successful methods to unlock the value in their information systems, based on a case study.


Emergence of Big Data in the Healthcare Marketplace


What is Big Data?

“High volume, high velocity, and/or high variety information assets that require new forms of processing to enable enhanced decision making, insight discovery and process optimization.”

The Emergence of Big Data

Big Data, for better or worse: 90% of world's data generated over last two years Date: May 22, 2013

Each and every one of us is constantly producing and releasing data about

ourselves. We do this either by moving around passively – our behaviour being

registered by cameras or card usage – or by logging onto our PCs and surfing the

net. The volumes of data make up what has been designated 'Big Data' – where

data about individuals, groups and periods of time are combined.

- Petter Bae Brandtzæg of SINTEF ICT


Examples of Big Data to Establish Scale

“Petabyte”...or PB 1 PB:

to store the DNA of the entire US population - twice

of MP3-encoded songs would play 2,000 years

was required to create the 3D CGI in the movie Avatar

2.5 PB:

to store the entire Library of Congress - 167 times

is the size of Walmart’s database of >1M transactions/hr

is also the human brain's ability to store memories

24 PB is how much data Google processes per day

30 PB is how much data AT&T transfers per day

150 PB to move 14yrs of Hotmail accounts to Outlook format http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petabyte

Why Lab Data Analytics?

Clinical pathways improve

View physician-level and regional analytics

Connect with new customers

Low cost service drives system-wide benefits

Empowers consumers

Increase reimbursed testing

$70Bn in Lab revenues in 2012


Why Now?

- Electronic data standards (HL-7, LOINC) → LAB DATA IS STANDARDIZED


Why Now?

- EMR datasets lack consistent access to structured lab data → STRUCTURED DATA IS REQUIRED FOR SCALABLE ANALYTICS


Why Now?

- Increased quality focus from pharma and payors → NEW INTEREST IN RESULTS


Why Now?

- Growth in personalized medicine, no more blockbuster drugs → PHARMA INTEREST IN SPECIFIC PATIENT SEGMENTS


Why Now? 7 PB of US Lab data is available for analysis right now

●  HCP-level Drug Data collected from pharmacies - coverage is ~75% of all U.S. Rx

●  Anon. Pt-level Diagnosis Data (APLD) from claims - coverage is ~50% of all U.S. claims

●  HCP- & Anon. Pt-level Lab Data from labs - Lab physician/patient-level results & ICD-9 from national lab networks, coverage for any one contributor is poor

Lab Market is very fragmented. Opportunity to aggregate.

Case Study Results from the JVHL-Medivo Collaboration


Dr. Gary Assarian, JVHL

●  Co-founder, Medical Director and Director of Informatics. ●  Consultant to BCBS, Trinity Health systems and Healthcare

consulting groups - Cognolink , Gerson Lehrman Group, Inc. ●  Member of NCQA - Expert Lab Panel. ●  Serve on the Joint Uniform Medical Policy committee for BCBS/

BCN for lab related issues.

Who is JVHL?

The Joint Venture Hospital Laboratories (JVHL) network is comprised of more than 130 hospital-affiliated laboratories committed to providing managed care plan members and participating physicians with the highest quality, convenient and efficient laboratory services.


JVHL / Medivo Collaboration

Individually, Medivo and JVHL have conducted analyses to show value to their respective clients.

JVHL → focus on payor reporting & quality improvement

Medivo → focus on increasing reimbursed lab test volumes & lab market insights

Together, Medivo and JVHL are partnering to aggregate nationwide datasets to better inform payors, healthcare providers & partner labs



JVHL - Disease Management Initiative A New Phase

JVHL designed a program to use lab data for diabetic patients to create tools to monitor:

1.  Disease management 2.  Guideline compliance



Diabetes Practice Guidelines Adopted from ADA – Clinical Practice Recommendation 2009

Standards of Care require that a number of parameters be evaluated on a continuous basis annually and that certain thresholds and criteria are achieved to reduce disease morbidity.

These guidelines serve as a basis of this grading and monitoring tool developed by JVHL.



JVHL study design:

●  13 payor groups were reviewed for ~75,000 diabetic patients’ A1c testing rates per ADA Guidelines, across ~9,000 MDs.

●  Avg. non compliance rate across payors: 67%. ●  Range of non compliance: 54 – 74 %.

JVHL study findings:

●  Only ~1/3 of the diabetic patients being followed up properly according to ADA guidelines.

●  There are significant differences in compliance when patient groups are compared by plan, and in follow up and monitoring compliance between physicians.


Compliance Score Average by Numbers of Physicians Who Ordered Studies According to ADA Guidance Standards for DM Patients


Count of Physicians by Average Compliance Score



JVHL study conclusions:

●  Using patient and claims data will result in targeted improvement of monitoring compliance and offers an objective means to compare physicians and physician groups.

●  Compliance information could be offered to clients to help in efforts to monitor patients.

●  Benefits of having this information available to the providers and payors is limitless and an important link between a client and the lab.


Medivo Studies Support JVHL Observations

Mining the Lab Value Exchange (LVX)™ ● 27M+ De-identified patient records

Follow up & monitoring compliance varies among physicians


Study #1: Abstract #1130 at 2013 AACE Annual Meeting

●  Data source: Medivo Lab Value Exchange

●  Timeframe: Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2012

●  Physicians: 2,562 total (180 endocrinologists and 2,382 PCPs)

●  Lab Tests: 171,697 HbA1c tests for 39,556 Patients with Diabetes

●  Analysis: ANOVA was performed to compare HbA1c order rates between the two physician groups




Endocrinologists vs PCPs: HbA1C Testing Rates Significantly Different

●  Over the 1 year study period, as compared to PCPs, endocrinologists ordered more HbA1c tests/patient with diabetes (3.24 vs. 2.81, p<0.0001)

●  Endocrinologists order significantly more tests than PCPs for patients both <65 years (p<0.001) and ≥65 years (p=0.03)





Study #2: BCR-ABL Testing Frequency Lower than NCCN Recommendations in Lab Network Review of CML Patients ●  Data source: Medivo Lab Value Exchange ●  Timeframe: 3/10 - 2/13 ●  Patients: 8,414 CML patients were categorized by the number

of annual BCR-ABL tests per year. Findings: ●  50% of patients were tested 1X/year or less. This is between

one half and one quarter of the recommended frequencies in NCCN guidelines, depending on the patients’ CCyR status.

●  Testing frequency varied significantly across regions.
