As an independent medical group, at Summit Health we have found that the more we spend on a patient in the ambulatory setting and the less we spend on inexpensive care settings like hospitals, emergency rooms and post acute care facilities, the better the outcomes and the lower the total cost of care.

Transparency communicates trust. I trust you to make the right decision. The problem with healthcare is we are arrogant. We believe the consumer doesn't know enough about health to make the right decision. And instead of informing them, we care for them by keeping information from them. We need to change the mindset.

Bill Russell, This Week in Health IT

If we look at what people went through in 2020 and well into 2021, people are exhausted. You come to value and appreciate people in a different way. You come to know and work with them in a different way. There were also many natural disasters on top of the pandemic. I know a CIO in Michigan. They had a huge flood. He had people on his team who lost their homes that were staying with him in his house.
