One of the realities is to leverage scale. There's a tipping point in terms of a market presence where you start to realize the benefits of scale. And if you don't get to that tipping point, then you have more of what I call an outpost. And you're not able to leverage either payer contracts or staffing or your physician network to your benefit

It’s absolutely critical to have healthcare data translators. You have the technology people who speak their language and the business and clinical people who speak a different language. Translators like me have enough expertise about what both sides are trying to accomplish. We can help translate between those groups to really make an impact.

Overall, the industry is getting much better with data quality. We were doing this work in the wild west days of meaningful use back in the early 2010s. And data quality was really questionable. But EHRs in general have become a little bit more user-friendly and end users are becoming much better about not treating the EHR like a giant post-it note. So it’s much more reliable. But it's still a journey.
