How We Did It The Process is Important System Strategic Plan Establish a shared understanding of the external environment, emerging healthcare trends and consumer dynamics, and TriHealth s current strategic positioning. Define a realistic set of future scenarios for the region over the next 5-10 years to identify and assess TriHealth s strategic options. Refine and clarify TriHealth s strategic vision, priorities and underlying business models to continue to advance our strategic position and effectively serve our communities in a rapidly-evolving healthcare landscape. IS Strategic Plan Assess the current state of TriHealth s IS environment including external market trends, future IS scenarios, and internal capabilities. Develop a long-range vision for IS that supports TriHealth s overarching strategic direction including IS mission, guiding principles, and priorities. Conduct a detailed review of IS organizational structure, governance structure, and management structure. Develop a multi-year IS strategic roadmap with prioritized initiatives to support the vision and identified investments, capabilities and timelines for each initiative. 13

The Evolving Market National Trends Growing consumer role in managing health, healthcare services and information Growing commoditization of healthcare Shift from defined benefit to defined contribution model and increased individual financial risk Evolution from volume-based to value-based/risk-based reimbursement models Payor-provider convergence Downward reimbursement and utilization trend Accelerating technological advances in diagnostics and therapeutics 15
The Evolving Market Highly fragmented market Slow to move from volume-based to value-based care Why Is This Important Favorable overall business environment Competitive payor environment Push the market increasingly toward value 16
Implications of the Evolving Market Likely Market Evolution Implications for TriHealth Payor market consolidation and downward reimbursement pressure High historical rate increases will not continue Shift towards value-based payments Accelerating downward trend in hospital utilization, shift in site of service towards lower-cost settings Movement from a highly-fragmented to consolidated provider landscape Fewer remaining accretive opportunities outside of largescale system-to-system partnerships or mergers Dramatic slowdown in physician consolidation activity Growing demand for consumer and digital capabilities Future growth of physician network will be more challenging Recognize IT is no longer just a business enabler but has significant potential to accelerate business strategy and differentiate services in the market 17
