Think of each POC as a virtual medical group owned by ten or so physicians wishing to collaborate in advancing a common clinical specialty.  They share a commitment to providing their patients evidence-based care, motivated only by their best pofessional judgment.

The cost to each physician for joining this practice group is about $100 a month.  (They can leave any time.)  Each physician can earn $1,000 a month or more, and build up substantial equity in his personal share of the clinical data owned by the group.

What exactly is that clinical data?  It is nothing more or less than the answers to the right medical questions:  What are the key elements of my clinical/scientific hypothesis in treating this particular patient?  What are that patient’s standardized long-term outcomes?  What are the outcomes of similar patients, receiving similar treatments?

There is no administrative or other burden.  RegenMed’s patented technical platform and supporting processes provide the turnkey infrastructure allowing each POC Member to focus on patient care.

Each POC typically comprises a Principal Investigator, and nine or more Investigators.  Those POC Members generate proprietary and well-correlated datasets defined by a single Observational Protocol corresponding to a significant portion of their everyday clinical cases.

Each Observational Protocol is  defined by a single anatomical region, pathology, treatment protocol, and standardized assessment score.   This structure maximizes the clinical relevance and statistical significance – and therefore licensing value — of the resulting Circles datasets jointly owned by POC Members.  

RegenMed is constantly expanding its library of Observational Protocols across medical specialties, pathologies and treatment protocols.  A POC Member can use any Observatonal Protocol(s) corresponding to his practice and specific patient cohorts.  

POCs are essentially self-executing, requiring no additional work from POC Members.  The Circles platform provides excellent and secure user experience for patients, physicians, and office staff.  RegenMed provides training, onboarding and technical support when needed.

RegenMed also provides regular reports to POC Members regarding dataset statistics and financial metrics.  For active POCs, RegenMed hosts livestreamed and recorded “Circle Hours” among Members.

RegenMed acts as the technical, administrative and business partner to POC Members.  RegenMed’s patented technology and processes provide the turnkey infrastructure enabling the burden-free generation of clinically relevant and monetizable datasets.  RegenMed also works on behalf of POC Members to maximize the financial value of those datasets.

RegenMed also takes the lead in negotiating POC Dataset licensing agreements.

The healthcare data market value is estimated at $60 billion, with a forecast annual growth rate of over 20%.  Licensors of healthcare data include product manufacturers, payers, research centers, self-insured employersThe most likely path for monetizing POC datasets is through licensing.  This maintains the dataset equity value for POC Members of is isCommon monetization models include licensing, study fees, honoraria, royalties, product discounts, reimbursement, and higher fees for service. A single dataset can be monetized through multiple models over extended periods.  These FAQs provide a comprehensive overview of Physicians-Owned Circles, their benefits, and how independent practitioners can leverage them to improve their practice's financial health and professional standing.

Within six months and at a low monthly cost, POC members can own a statistically and clinically significant dataset. This dataset has growing value to various healthcare constituencies, including product manufacturers, payers, and research organizations. The financial impact can be substantial, as illustrated in the pro-forma Profit and Loss Statement and Balance Sheet provided by RegenMed.

The Principal Investigator’s main role is to assist RegenMed in the identification of suitable additional Investigators for the POC.  In addition, a PI may suggest an Observational Protocol which she believes will represent clinical and financial value.  Principal Investigators are also asked to co-moderate Circle Hours, which represents one to two hours per quarter.

Yes.  That requires a separate one time payment of $500 for the Observational Protocol encoding, and the same $5/Case and $35/subscription month charges.
