Patients hold the keys to improved health outcomes through gains in self-management (through activation) Determinants of Health (Compilation from Studies incl WHO) Measurable and can improve significantly Genotype to Phenotype: Delay or prevent through higher activation Overcome barriers through gains in activation Source: https: //www. goinvo. com/features/determinants-of-health Copyright © 2019 Insignia Health 2
What is PAM? The PAM is a tool that can reliably predict patient behaviour such as: • unnecessary ED visits, hospital admissions and re-admissions • medication adherence • undertaking prevention strategies • likelihood of developing further chronic conditions Copyright © 2019 Insignia Health 3
PAM® measures a persons underlying self-management ability or activation w Three key domains are assessed -- Knowledge, Skills, Confidence, to understand a person’s self-management ability w Two key metrics – score on a 100 point scale and four levels of activation w Validated versions for carers, parents and clinicians w More than 225 healthcare organisations using PAM in a dozen countries w UK - Activation & Personalisation integral to NHS 10 Year Plan w USA- working with CMS to support 5 million people initially through alternative payment design programs w Globally validated with 525+ published studies, 40+ translations available “ Copyright © 2019 Insignia Health 4
Four activation levels reside along an empirically derived, equal interval scale 100 -point scale Level 1 Overwhelmed, disengaged, struggling Very high A&E/ED visits, very high risk of readmits Segmentation 15 -20% 10 90 20 Level 2 Level 3 More self-aware, but still struggling, starting to build confidence High A&E/ED visits, high risk of readmits Taking action. Able to achieve guideline behaviours 20 -30% 30 -35% 30 40 Low A&E/ED use. Low readmission risk 50 4 Level Maintaining behaviours and pushing further Very low A&E/ED use. Very low readmission risk 20 -25% 60 70 80 The value of a single point change in PAM score is significant and well understood, as is the shift between PAM Levels Copyright © 2019 Insignia Health 5

PAM-Based Behavioural Activation Model Three core functions or uses of PAM: 1. Predictive - improves risk identification & resource allocation 2. Tailor support to PAM Levels (1 -4) 3. Measure impact over time (using PAM Scores 0 -100) Copyright © 2019 Insignia Health 8
