3 Introduction The creation of a successful telestroke program requires significant commitments in the form of human and financial resources, clinician buy-in, training for and adoption of new technology, performance monitoring and continuous improvement. Although primarily motivated by the opportunity to improve outcomes for a broader population of stroke patients, some hospital and health system executives remain understandably skeptical of the financial return on investment (ROI) that can be achieved with a telestroke program due to the up-front and on-going commitments required for success, as well as the limited reimbursement in place today for remote care. REACH Health has developed this to provide a fact-based and quantifiable framework for evaluating the ROI potential of a telestroke program. The case study is based on a telestroke program that continues to thrive and expand, both in terms of geography and services offered today. Summary of ROI Results The five-year analysis of the telestroke network revealed the following: ROI of $1.8M (52.0%) for the entire telestroke network ROI of $709K (35.7%) for the Hub hospital ROI of $1.1M (75.7%) combined total for the Spoke partner hospitals Telestroke Network Attributes The telestroke network studied is comprised of a Hub hospital (a Comprehensive Stroke Center) and ten Spoke hospital partners. Three of the Spoke hospitals have achieved a Primary Stroke Center (PSC) certification. Other Spoke hospital partners are working to achieve the new Acute Stroke Ready Hospital (ASRH) Certification from the Joint Commission. The telestroke network was initially established with one Spoke partner hospital. One additional Spoke partner hospital was added each calendar quarter during the first two years of the program. At the end of the second year, the network consisted of the Hub hospital and eight Spoke partner hospitals. At the end of the third year, the ninth Spoke partner hospital was added and at the end of the fourth year, the tenth Spoke partner hospital was added. Copyright 2016 REACH Health, Inc.

4 All Spoke partner hospitals in the telestroke network are independent (none of the Spokes are affiliated with the Hub hospital healthcare system). Stroke diagnoses excluding stroke mimics and Transient Ischemic Attacks (TIA): o o 87% of the stroke patients treated by the telestroke network are diagnosed with Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS). 13% of stroke patients treated by the telestroke network are diagnosed with Hemorrhagic Stroke. Hub transfer statistics: o Twenty-five percent (25%) of the stroke patients diagnosed at the Spoke hospitals are transferred to the Hub hospital for more advanced treatment such as endovascular clot retrieval. Spoke treatment statistics: o o o Prior to telestroke, the Spoke hospitals transferred between 50% - 85% of stroke patients. Now, 75% of the stroke patients diagnosed at the Spoke hospitals remain in the Spoke hospital for treatment. Before implementing telestroke, many of the Spoke hospitals were unable to treat with tpa or administered tpa at rates of less than 5%. Today, 26% of Spoke hospital patients diagnosed with AIS are treated with IV tpa. When a hospital is not stroke ready, EMS often bypasses the facility when transporting suspected stroke patients (sometimes required by law). With the implementation of a telestroke solution and communication to EMS, some of the bypassed volume can be regained. As the Spoke hospitals implemented their telestroke programs and educated local EMS, on average they regained 50% of the bypassed volume of suspected stroke patients. Scope of the ROI Analysis The ROI Case Study covers five (5) years beginning with the program inception and initial investments through the end of the fifth year of program operation. The study includes the ROI achieved by the Hub hospital, the ROI achieved by the Spoke hospitals in aggregate, and the ROI achieved by the overall telestroke network (Hub and all Spokes combined). ROI Drivers The ROI drivers included in the case study are: Copyright 2016 REACH Health, Inc. All rights Reserved Page 4

5 Hub incremental transfers revenue Contributors Hub incremental tpa administration revenue Spoke incremental tpa administration revenue Spoke incremental bypass regained revenue Hub incremental staffing expense Spoke incremental staffing expense Hub incremental transfer case expense Hub incremental tpa expense Spoke incremental tpa expense Expenses Spoke bypass expense Hub Length of Stay (LOS) expense reduction Spoke LOS expense reduction Telestroke system investment (license, implementation services, training and support) Operating overhead expenses (facilities, travel, meetings, etc.) Not Included The following items are not included in the scope of this ROI case study: Cost savings from reduced transportation expenses resulting from reduced patient transfer volume (when the transport service is operated by a Spoke Hospital) Some Hub hospitals charge fees to the Spoke hospitals for participation in the telestroke network. This is often in the form of a daily per-diem fee that varies based on the size or ED patient volume for the Spoke hospital. The telestroke network examined does not charge a participation fee to the spoke hospitals, therefore none is included in the case study. A participation fee would not impact the ROI for the overall network but would simply shift a portion of the ROI from the Spokes to the Hub. Many telestroke networks provide additional pay for the consulting neurologists often in the form of on-call pay. The telestroke network examined does not provide on-call pay as part of the telestroke program, therefore none is included in the case study. A positive impact in the form of reduced readmissions has been observed as a result of the telestroke program but the quantified figures have not been calculated. Copyright 2016 REACH Health, Inc.

9 Case Study Assessment Methodologies The ROI assessment utilized the following industry-standard CMS metrics to model the financial results of the telestroke network: General Revenue Methodologies: The case study utilized the Medicare Acute IPPS (Acute Care Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment System) rates and the Medicare OPPS (Outpatient Prospective Payment System) rates. Hub Revenue Methodologies: Net Patient Revenue (NPR) of Incremental Transfers in DRGs 20-27, utilizing Medicare Cost Report Ratio of Cost to Charge (RCC) with After Outlier Removed (AOR) Charges and Volumes per DRG per Medicare Cost Center. Spoke Revenue Methodologies: NPR of tpa Administration DRG shift from (without tpa and a lower reimbursement rate) to (with tpa and a higher reimbursement rate). This methodology utilizes Medicare Cost Report Ratio of Cost to Charge (RCC) with After Outlier Removed (AOR) Charges and Volumes per DRG per Medicare Cost Center. The additional cost of the tpa is offset by a reduction in costs of labor, services, tests and procedures, producing a positive contribution. Note: To receive the higher reimbursement (DRGs ) for tpa administration, the patient must be admitted and discharged from the originating site. NPR of Bypass Volume regained utilizing aggregate case rate of inpatient and outpatient with overall low acuity. General Expense Methodologies: The ROI (both Hob and Spoke portions) includes direct expenses for labor, supplies, tests, procedures and T&E. Hub Expense Methodologies: Hub expenses include incremental T&E, such as for a dedicated telestroke coordinator. Spoke Expense Methodologies: LOS savings based on transfer DRG algorithm to determine cost of last day of stay. Reduced average length of stay per DRG by an aggregate of 1.0 day. General ROI Methodology: ROI is calculated as incremental net patient revenue less direct expenses less telemedicine system investment and operating costs. Copyright 2016 REACH Health, Inc.

10 Conclusion Some hospital and health system executives remain understandably skeptical of the financial ROI that can be achieved with a telestroke program due to the up-front and on-going commitments required for success. Even a well-run telestroke program is likely to exhibit an initial loss due to one-time, start-up investments. However, these initial losses can be quickly overcome to yield a sustainable, positive financial return and compelling ROI even in the absence of more comprehensive, full-parity reimbursement policies at either the state or federal levels.
