Profitability analysis of a Hybrid-OR

Final presentation

(18)

Management Summary

The investment in a Hybrid-OR is reasonable from a

medical, economic and strategically perspective

In addition to the existing patients there is a heterogeneous competitive situation

for relevant patients in the catchment area. An ultra-modern Hybrid-OR and a targeted marketing concept could increase the numbers of patientsin the regarding departments without any side-effects by 10% per year.

Market potential

An efficient working process of the Hybrid-OR leads, on the most conservative assumptions, in both scenarios to a cumulated and discounted operative result between T€ 2.000 (scenario 1) und T€ 2.500 (scenario 2) at a 8-year period.

Economic profitability

An investment in a Hybrid-OR is reasonable from a medical, economic and strategicallyperspective. However, a professional OR-management,

interdisciplinary collaboration, acquisition of heart surgeons and the extension of the trauma center are required for a successful operation.

Recommendation

The German hospital considers an installation of a Hybrid-OR, which should be previously analyzed in terms of efficiencyin respect of the current market situation.

Initial situation

Both the spatial and technical requirementsfor the installation of a Hybrid-OR are fulfilled by the hospital after some reconstruction work. The quantitative and qualitative requirements of the personnel are only partially fulfilled currently.

New standards in terms of diagnosis and therapy by a next

generation Hybrid-OR

• Optimal imaging with reduced contrast media administration, radiation burden and avoiding of repositioning

• Gentle intervention by a minimally-invasive technique: Quicker cure and reduced length of stay (LOS) • High patient-safety due to a

intra-operative quality-check

faster intervention

• Innovation leadership in vascular-and cardiac surgery

• Direct quality-check reduces complication and re-operation rate (approx. 10% are faulty)1

• Incentive for innovative medical personnel

• Additional reimbursement potential due to an extension of the range of treatment

• LOS and operating time reduction (approx. 11%)2

• Location development especially for age-related diseases (e.g. reduced contrast media

administration by approx. 45%2)

Treatment of patients with

pre-existing kidney diseases

• Technological leadership and new standards of care

• Medical and regulatory future trends: Future complex

interventions will only be executed in a Hybrid-OR3

The combination of e.g. a Siemens Artis Zeego and an adjustable

OR-table creates an ultra-modern Hybrid-OR, setting new

standards in diagnosis and therapy in cardiology, neurosurgery as

well as vascular- and trauma surgery

(21)

Prospectively the following diseases from different

disciplines will be treated in the Hybrid-OR

Specialist Hybrid-OR Procedure Neuro-surgeon - Carotis-angioplasty (CAS) - Aneurysm coiling - Intracranial stents Vascular surgeon -AAA1Endograft -TAA2Endograft -Complex peripheral cases -Quality-control of complex procedures (10% error ratio) Interventional cardiologist -Minimal-invasive coronary arteries bypass / (PCI) -Minimal-invasive valve surgery -TAVI5 -Heart defect intervention Interventional radiologist -Oncologic procedures -Carotis stenting -kyphoplasties (stabilization of vertebrae) -Interventional therapy of myomas (Gynecology) Orthopedist, Trauma surgeon - Hip surgery at multimorbid patients - Spinal surgery - Polytrauma

Neuro-radiologist

(22)

Practical example: A Hybrid-OR supports the treatment of

aortic valve stenosis (AS)

Treatment of aortic valve stenosis – Calcification of the aortic valve

Current approach

Sternotomy (full or partial)

Use of life support machine

Removement of the

degenerated valve

Replacement by a mechanic or biologic valve

Good long-term outcome

Few severe following

complications

1)

Hybrid-OR approach

(TAVI)

No longer sternotomy and life support machine necessary

Covering of the old valve with a

catheter-guided valve

The intervention takes place at

the beating heart

Shorter operating-time, less complications, less painful

3)

Adoptions for the

future

The number of severe AS will increase, due to the

demographic trend

Increasing number of patients with a high risk or

contraindication

Hybrid-OP location2

Planned

Planned

The analysis of the catchment area shows a heterogeneous

competitive situation and possibilities to extend the catchment

area towards north and south

A basis of relevant patients exists in the hospital (detailed analysis: 500 patients1)

Criteria for additional patients: The catchment area is weighted by travelling-time, competition and emotional barriers

We suppose a supra-regional attraction of the Hybrid-OR for polytrauma

However, there is less Hybrid-OR competition in the eastern and southern part of the catchment area, further installations are planned already2

(25)

Relevant ICDs for the Hybrid-OR will increase in the

catchment area (I65, I70, I71, I72, I73)

Projected case numbers in 20301,2

Development of relevant ICDs for the Hybrid-OR in the catchment area1, 2

Assumptions

The demographic trend in the catchment area1 shows a significant increase of elderly

persons (>40 years of age)

Inhabitants maintain on the same level (approx. 1.8 million inhabitants in the catchment area)

Vascular diseases (ICD I70) will have the biggest share of future diagnoses

Additional patients can be gained by good marketing strategies of the hospital (e.g. medical competence center)

Highly qualified personal and innovative medical technology will guarantee a high standard of care

Under conservative calculations, these

(36)

SWOT-Analysis

A SWOT-Analysis can illustrate important fields of action for a

successful establishment of an Hybrid-OR

Portfolio extension in a regional market with very strong competition

Number of patients are not growing as projected

Staffing of physicians and assistants for the planned departments in an rural area

Foundation of the trauma center with consideration of the spatial and personnel requirements due to DGU (German foundation for trauma surgery)

Bottlenecks in the Hybrid-OR have to be managed with a professional OR-management

Foundation of a cardio-vascular center in a catchment area with a high amount of relevant patients, considering the demographic trend

Diversification of the range of services in the areas: TAVI and polytrauma

Improved image and competitive position due to investments in new and ultra-modern medical equipment

Improvement of the own position in hiring new chief physician

Foundation of a cooperation network with established referring physicians and other hospitals without Hybrid-Ors in the region

Increase of the level of awareness with targeted marketing at referring physicians and the population

A constant number of inhabitants with a growing number in the relevant target group(>40 years of age)

Threats Opportunities

Geographic location near with a high number of competitors in the market segment

Limited catchment area due to actual offerings and competing hospitals with an Hybrid-OR

Level of awareness as a cardio-vascular center non-existent

Basic utilization for an Hybrid-OR exists

Personnel resources with relevant experience for the portfolio partially exist currently

Spatial requirements are fulfilled after reconstruction work

The hospital’s portfolio and relevant departments are already existing mainly
