We're swimming in a pool of money, health tech! Today on Health in 2 Point 00, we have over $1 billion and 3 acquisitions in this episode alone. First up is Ro, which just raised $500 million – they're building quite the big healthcare company; their valuation is roughly double what Hims is trading and their revenue is a little bit more. Next, Appriss Health acquires PatientPing for $500 million and Everlywell acquires both PWNHealth and Home Access Health Corporation. Finally, our friends over at Ginger close another $100 million round. Be sure to tune into Jess's interview with the CEO Russ Glass for the scoop.
While there is still work to be done, the impact that interoperability has had on care coordination is undeniable. Jitin Asnaani, former Executive Director at CommonWell Health Alliance and now Head of Partnerships at PatientPing, will discuss the interoperability landscape and the progress that has been made to impact patient care. This podcast is sponsored by PatientPing.
Today’s healthcare silos cause a multitude of problems that range from information gaps to duplicative efforts. The patient is in the middle, often relying solely on her own capabilities to fill in the gaps or prevent redundant procedures. At best, the healthcare system is inefficient. At its worst, the healthcare system puts patients in danger. Jay Desai, CEO & Co-founder of PatientPing shares his perspective on how interoperability can solve many of these issues.

As a company grows, sometimes they achieve hypergrowth. Wait...what in the world does that buzzword mean? Don’t worry...I had to Google it too. It’s defined as achieving a compound annual growth rate of >40%. It’s an exciting, chaotic, and hectic time where everything changes very, very quickly. Especially company culture. It’s easy to understand the company mission and vision when you’re a 10-person company and can have a conversation about it. But what about when you’re all of a sudden 500 people across multiple offices? It’s pretty easy for your company culture to fall apart during that transition. I had the opportunity to chat with Brian Manning about what it’s like to go through hypergrowth. He’s seen it first-hand a few times now and shared some great tips on how to keep your people aligned and maintain a strong company culture as you grow. We also discussed how important it is to focus on four specific intrinsic attributes so that you can hire people who are capable of growing with the company. To find out what those four attributes are you’ll have to listen to the episode… Just kidding. They are: Grit Curiosity Humility Adaptability But there is so, so much more to this episode so go and give it a listen :) About our Guest Brian Manning is Senior Vice President and Head of Growth at PatientPing, a healthcare technology company based in Boston.

Dear Friends & Colleagues,On Friday March 27th 2020, I launched a limited podcast series addressing how the COVID-19 pandemic is reframing American healthcare. You can find the introduction episode here. In this series, I interview future-facing, courageous, healthcare leaders and entrepreneurs - to ask two questions: (1) How is the COVID-19 pandemic immediately changing the way you are delivering healthcare? (2) How will COVID-19 reframe American healthcare for years to come? In this episode, we’ll be interviewing Jay Desai. Jay is the founder & CEO of PatientPing. PatientPing’s mission is simple: connecting providers to seamlessly coordinate patient care. They provide real-time ADT feeds (Admissions, Discharges & Transfers) to providers so they can provide more coordinated and integrated care to their patients. I have first-hand experience with their service, and can’t say enough good things about PatientPing.In our dialogue, we covered a range of topics focusing largely on the flow of patients across the healthcare continuum, especially in the post acute care space. And, how the infrastructure of the healthcare ecosystem is fundamentally being reframed by the COVID-19 experience. Our discussion included:The impact of COVID-19 on nursing homes and home health services - and the reframing of the so-called ‘post acute care’ domain.How hospitals may become hyper-segmented in the future - the very real possibility of healthcare ‘focus factories’ that have been forecasted by HBS luminaries such as Regina Herzlinger and Clayton Christensen.The reframing of ‘essential services’ including primary care.The radical (overnight) shift from patients being ‘pulled’ into ED’s & hospitals to patients being ‘pushed’ away from hospitals.A major ‘silver-lining’ by-product of this pandemic, which are the rapid regulatory changes coming out of CMS (see link or go to www.cms.gov/newsroom for recent updates) Jay Desai has a brilliant mind and a brilliant heart. He is an empathetic and innovative entrepreneur, and a brilliant observer and commentator on the changes that are happening, as well as those that are coming in healthcare. I hope to have the opportunity to speak with him again some time soon. These are unprecedented times, so I hope you find valuable information, guidance, and inspiration in listening to these experts and entrepreneurs share how they are adapting to this pandemic (in real time); and how they’re thinking about and planning for the future.Until next time, be safe and be well,Zeev Neuwirth MD
Dear Friends & Colleagues, The promise of real-time health information connectivity and coordination of care has been elusive. That is, until now. Jay Desai, co-founder and CEO of a company ...
Dear Friends & Colleagues,The promise of real-time health information connectivity and coordination of care has been elusive. That is, until now. Jay Desai, co-founder and CEO of a company called ‘Patient Ping’, has created a platform that allows for real-time notification of a patient encounter in any healthcare facility or home care. Even more revolutionary, the platform delivers bi-directional information automatically. The need for this type of connectivity is obvious to healthcare professionals and organizations that are accountable for the quality, safety, appropriate utilization and cost effectiveness of care delivered. Part of the challenge for providers is that approximately 30 to 50% of healthcare costs incurred by most integrated delivery systems is actually from clinical care delivered outside of the home system. This percentage is higher for independent provider groups and systems in highly competitive markets. That means that even in the best of integrated delivery networks, there is already a 30 to 50% ‘accountability handicap’. Prior to co-founding PatientPing in 2013, Jay Desai worked at the CMS Innovation Center (CMMI) where he helped develop Accountable Care Organizations (ACO’s), bundled payments and other value-based initiatives. He has an MBA in Healthcare Management from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, and a BA from the University of Michigan.Jay's professional passion lies at the intersection of technology, policy and community. He first discovered the need for real-time, cross-institutional connectivity when he was at CMS. Provider groups were asking CMS for some way to ‘know’, in real-time, when and where their patients were receiving clinical care. These systems needed to know so they could intervene and prevent unnecessary, as well as potentially, harmful tests and procedures. They needed to know so they could follow-up when their patients were discharged from another institution. It's a critically important issue for patients and providers - and this is where Jay Desai and PatientPing come in…In this interview we’ll discuss:The two major offerings of PatientPing - the “ping” notification that tells you where your patients are; and the “stories” which tell you where your patients have been.The different ways healthcare systems are utilizing PatientPing to communicate between hospital-based care/case managers, ambulatory care medical homes, emergency departments, nursing homes and home health services.The remarkable outcomes demonstrated with the PatientPing platform, and how they are achieving those results.PatientPing’s customizable “consumer grade user-experience”,as well as the enhancements they're making.PatientPing is designed to not only respond to the needs of accountable providers and organizations. It’s also designed to create healthier ‘communities of care’ – to enhance the complex inter-dependencies of the clinical ecosystem. The data PatientPing is collecting is beginning to demonstrate that avoidable healthcare utilization across communities is decreasing: lower avoidable emergency room visits, hospital admissions and nursing home days - all of which leads to better care at lower costs.There is more than one value proposition PatientPing offers. The embedded analytics will also reveal care patterns - allowing systems and communities to better understand where patients are going, and allow for more proactive preventive care. Another easily overlooked value proposition is the user experience. The information PatientPing relies on was already there beforehand. They’ve simply made it more accessible to providers of care. As Jay points out, it’s analogous to the situation with Google Maps. The GPS data was already present when companies like Google and Waze made it easily accessible and usable for the consuming public. PatientPing has done something very similar with the data in the Health Information Exchange network and the health information locked up in proprietary electronic medical records. They’ve made this information accessible and consumer-friendly for providers of care - across and between institutions and practices. It may be a simple concept but the impact and value proposition is profound. It’s going to assist providers and patients with better communication, better integration and better coordination of care. It’s going to make healthcare delivery more seamless and safe. And, who wouldn’t want that?ReplyForward
In this episode of The Pulse Podcast, Dhruv talks us through the inner workings of the company, from the nitty gritty technical platform to the day-to-day culture of the team. PatientPing has raised over $40M from investors like First Round Capital, GV, LTP and Andreessen Horowitz.
We've all experienced that sinking feeling in sales as we near the end of another month … so how do you deal with the pressure of hitting your quarterly number? It's not easy, especially without the proper guidance. Brian Manning, SVP & Head of Growth at PatientPing, works to help startups grow their ideas and he is here today to share insight on how to deal with the pressure of hitting your quarterly numbers. PatientPing is a care coordination platform that helps healthcare providers collaborate with one another on shared platforms. Brian has been with PatientPing for three years now. He oversees their sales, marketing, government affairs, and partnerships. From a sales leader standpoint, Brian thinks of quarterly numbers in terms of the Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) for each layer of the business: the overall company ARR, the sales team ARR and the individual sales rep ARR. WILL, SHOULD, COULD Sales reps often feel the pressure to perform and, as a leader, Brian likes to have his reps 3x their pipeline as they enter the quarter. As the quarter goes on, however, and things become more sophisticated, Brian moves on to the ‘Will, Should, Could' method. This method involves marking each deal throughout the quarter as Will Close, Should Close and Could Close. Wills usually equal about 95%, while Should is at 70% and Could is closer to 50%. The Sales Operation Team does this for each week for each rep to provide a projection for the quarter. In this way, at any given week, the reps have a pretty good sense of where they stand in relation to their targets. Brian has found that the projections are smart and reliable. THE DETECTIVE MINDSET When sales reps feel pressure to hit their quarterly numbers, it is usually a result of a failure somewhere in the sales funnel. There might not be enough leads, the presentations may not convert into proposals, or the deals may be stuck in contract too long. It is usually one specific thing that slows them down. It almost takes a detective mindset to figure it out sometimes, but it can be done. A key factor in reducing the pressure of hitting your quarterly numbers begins with the numbers that are expected of the sales rep. The rep needs to be comfortable with those numbers. If they do not see a path toward achieving the goal set in front of them, they need to alert their manager right away – before the quarter even starts. It should not be viewed as a sign of weakness, nor should a rep fail to come forward because of pride. As a manager, Brian knows it is important to listen to his team. The territory could be bad, the ramp might be too quick, or the training may need to be improved. He does, however, require an intelligent and well-thought-out conversation rather than simple excuses. You never want to send a rep out to achieve a quota he doesn't feel he can meet. It's not healthy for anyone. With their detective hats on, the manager and the rep can then work together to specifically analyze the territory, the opportunity, and the various stages that the deals are in. It has the benefit of making the sales rep more effective which, in turn, increases the likelihood of hitting the numbers in subsequent quarters. EMPATHY Understanding and having empathy for the seller is important. They may be going through something personal or may just need help with the fundamentals. #Energy Management CLICK TO TWEET When the pressure is high or the number is high, it is especially important to take care of your health. Brian believes that nothing is insurmountable when you are feeling healthy and well. A seller under too much pressure – one with any type of resentment towards the product or the company – will not be a seller who gives his best. It will translate into his performance and affect the clients and the sales. When a salesperson puts his energy into dealing with the things that he can't control – an imperfect product or lack of marketing team support, for example – the salesperson will always lose. In Brian's experience, the number one difference between a great seller and a not-so-great seller is that the energy of the great seller goes to the areas where he has control. Don't waste energy on things that will not help you reach your numbers, or succeed. Your energy, as a salesperson, needs to go into selling under the conditions you are in. This does not mean, however, that you should hesitate to flag issues. If there is something wrong with the product or the process, it should certainly be brought to the attention of management. There will always be that one guy who wants to complain regardless of the situation. But those reps that can focus and channel their energy into doing what is best for their client are the reps that will succeed. TRANSPARENCY There is a seesaw to transparency. When a rep is doing really well and is on track to reach his quota, his manager will see it and will know the rep is doing fine. There is no reason to stress. But if the rep isn't doing well or the numbers are low, transparency needs to increase. Brian suggests something as simple as a weekly email to management to address what is working and what is not working. Being really honest and vulnerable in this way provides management with the information, and the opportunity, to improve the system. It helps everyone in the long run. Many of us don't like to admit when we are having trouble but it is always easier to address a problem when it is small rather than waiting until it is too big to handle. Brian has found that, generally speaking, most sales reps that want to work for a start-up are self-starters. They are the ones who read sales books and listen to podcasts to further their own learning. HORIZONTAL LEARNING Over time, as a company grows, Brian will bring in sales trainers to coach and shadow. Until a solid infrastructure is up and running, however, Brian has created a system where his sales team sends out a weekly ‘Wins and Learning' email to each other. He also stresses that a good learning experience is more valuable than a big win. His team has become competitive to send out the best learning which scales across the team. Be analytical If you are doing well, document how you do it. If you are not doing well, document why not. Be honest and lead the charge into fixing it. “HITTING YOUR QUARTERLY NUMBERS” EPISODE RESOURCES Brian has maintained a blog for the past ten years at Briancmanning.com. He is also on Twitter.

Jay Desai is Co-founder and CEO of PatientPing, a care coordination platform that brings an individual's medical records together to eliminate these problems. The service is built on network effects, sending providers alerts when the patient receives care at other facilities and also compiles their history into “stories” at the point of care. The goal, says Desai, is to reduce costs through fewer redundant tests and treatments, as well as provide insight that will improve care based on past events and reduce adverse outcomes or readmissions.
