And so from your perspective, when you're thinking about the appropriate application, what have you learned in this process and what does it look like to tackle some of that, you know, in the next several months or so?

Dan ShieldsGUEST
So I think what we need to do is, and this is such an old kind of theme in healthcare, so I think we're always trying to do it, but how do we break down some of those different silos that exist across the different parts of care? So many of our programs or our solutions or even our clinical models over time are built up to solve a very specific problem.

Dan ShieldsGUEST
And as a result, they kind of develop kind of a life and an ecosystem of their own.

Dan ShieldsGUEST
And now what we're trying to do is take more of a across the system or across the patient experience, a better way to put it, across the patient experience view of these things.

Dan ShieldsGUEST
So how do we take some of these different really good solutions or really good clinical models or really good workflows or ways that we've designed to treat these patients and make sure that we're navigating those.

And, you know, on the flip side of it, how are you thinking about growth? What are you excited by and where are those opportunities in the next two to three years or so?

Dan ShieldsGUEST
Actually, a better way to put it, across the patient experience, um, view of these things, one, because it's better for the patients, two, it's what the patients expect.

Dan ShieldsGUEST
It's gonna sound very buzzwordy and very cliché, but how do we get those patients to the right level of care at the right time, you know, when they need it most? Uh, you know, so not only are you, you treating the patient better, but you're using your system a- and your, your resources more appropriately as well.
