00:00:00.250 --> 00:00:06.639
When you have garbage that goes into your models, you get garbage out.
00:00:06.820 --> 00:00:09.179
I was so excited to talk to Alli Oakes.
00:00:09.470 --> 00:00:14.839
She's the VP and Chief Research Officer at Trilliant Health.
00:00:15.339 --> 00:00:28.285
We talk about claims, we talk about price transparency, and we talk about what it takes to have real effective responsible AI in healthcare today.
00:00:28.785 --> 00:00:34.545
There's an incredibly huge problem in transparency in healthcare.
00:00:35.295 --> 00:00:52.725
Despite there being all sorts of rules and mandates that pricing should be easy to understand and clear, it's almost impossible to understand how much an actual procedure is actually going to cost you when it's go time.
00:00:53.475 --> 00:01:12.855
Alli notes that sometimes, depending on your employer, your plan and other things that you don't control, the price to get the same procedure can be three times greater, just depending on your circumstances.
00:01:13.094 --> 00:01:18.045
Same doctors, same hospital, maybe even the same insurance company.
00:01:18.525 --> 00:01:20.204
It's bonkers.
00:01:20.534 --> 00:01:20.715
So.
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:35.989
Her innovation at Trilliant is really leveraging price transparency and provider data to make sure that patients are getting the best deals and the best opportunities for high quality care.
00:01:36.650 --> 00:01:38.180
It should be a right.
00:01:38.893 --> 00:02:00.638
You'll have to listen to Alli's explanation to get the full picture, but they're doing some really interesting work understanding market trends through looking at provider data and helping people to understand where the leakage is, where's the data and the profits leaving the system and making it harder for everyone else.
00:02:00.888 --> 00:02:24.098
Really one of my favorite hot takes came from this episode where Alli explains that we should be using evidence to launch and test and evaluate new technologies and programs quickly, and we should be bold about using that same type of data to de adopt when technology is costing too much and delivering not enough.
00:02:24.388 --> 00:02:32.527
Rapid experimentation is great, but you have to make sure that you're culling the dead weight as you move forward.
00:02:33.358 --> 00:02:43.918
I am sure you'll enjoy this data backed episode with Alli Oakes, VP and Chief Research Officer at Trilliant Health.
00:02:44.467 --> 00:02:45.337
We clap it in.
00:02:45.337 --> 00:02:47.198
So 1, 2, 3.
00:02:48.307 --> 00:02:49.207
Amazing.
00:02:49.328 --> 00:02:52.117
Hello and welcome to the Tech Glow Up.
00:02:52.598 --> 00:03:00.758
I'm Nathan C and today I'm talking with Alli Oakes, VP and Chief Research Officer at Trilliant Health.
00:03:01.177 --> 00:03:01.467
Alli.
00:03:01.487 --> 00:03:03.337
It is so great to talk with you.
00:03:03.337 --> 00:03:03.758
Likewise
00:03:03.807 --> 00:03:07.173
Alli, can you introduce yourself and

help me understand a little bit?
00:03:07.862 --> 00:03:12.152
What does the Chief Research Officer do at Triliant Health?
00:03:12.272 --> 00:03:13.293
Yeah, absolutely.
00:03:13.293 --> 00:03:15.032
Well, thanks for having me today, Nathan.
00:03:15.432 --> 00:03:18.522
like you said, I'm the Chief Research Officer at Triliant Health.
00:03:18.573 --> 00:03:21.062
I'm a health services researcher by training.
00:03:21.552 --> 00:03:25.842
and in terms of what our team does at Triliant Health, we use all different types of data.
00:03:26.022 --> 00:03:35.953
Claims data, health plan, price, transparency, data, as well as our provider directory to understand sort of emerging and different trends within the healthcare ecosystem.
00:03:36.372 --> 00:03:41.923
Are there specific problems that you're most focused on or that your research.
00:03:42.358 --> 00:03:46.198
that you enjoy the research most of, out of all of those areas?
00:03:46.258 --> 00:03:46.557
Yeah.
00:03:46.557 --> 00:03:48.957
I think there are a couple themes that we focus on a lot.
00:03:48.957 --> 00:03:51.832
One is sort of this mismatch of supply and demand mm-hmm.
00:03:51.913 --> 00:03:53.758
That we have in our healthcare system.
00:03:53.877 --> 00:03:54.117
Got
00:03:54.117 --> 00:03:57.987
And how we can make sure we're getting the right care to the right patients at the right time.
00:03:58.328 --> 00:04:05.647
but we're also really focused right now on health plan price transparency, which is a relatively new data source, but what it reveals is just.
00:04:05.647 --> 00:04:09.668
This variation across the healthcare system, that doesn't make a lot of sense.
00:04:09.698 --> 00:04:15.907
So within the same market, the same procedure costing very different amounts of money, depending on the provider and the payer.
00:04:16.117 --> 00:04:19.718
So those are some of the major things that we think about and are tackling right now.
00:04:19.987 --> 00:04:23.288
Ah, the idea.
00:04:23.798 --> 00:04:30.708
That, depending on like where in your community you go, you might have a 3, 5, 10 x mm-hmm.
00:04:31.007 --> 00:04:38.677
Difference in the costs that you're, experiencing in your care is like, just mind boggling when so often.
00:04:38.708 --> 00:04:38.947
Right.
00:04:38.947 --> 00:04:42.158
Like when you need healthcare, it's like urgent.
00:04:42.817 --> 00:04:42.908
Yep.
00:04:42.908 --> 00:04:44.648
and it's like personal.
00:04:44.677 --> 00:04:44.767
Yep.
00:04:44.767 --> 00:04:45.937
And it's like high.
00:04:46.538 --> 00:04:47.288
Importance.
00:04:47.288 --> 00:04:51.358
And so knowing that there's that extra layer of like tightrope walk, is yeah.
00:04:51.512 --> 00:04:52.533
Is like really daunting.
00:04:52.802 --> 00:04:52.892
Yeah.
00:04:53.163 --> 00:05:00.533
I'm curious, how did your origin in, this kind of work, how did your origin in health technology, start?
00:05:00.642 --> 00:05:01.812
What got you on this path?
00:05:02.187 --> 00:05:02.637
Sure.
00:05:02.687 --> 00:05:07.338
so sort of thinking back, growing up I was always really interested in health and healthcare.
00:05:07.398 --> 00:05:07.487
Mm-hmm.
00:05:07.728 --> 00:05:11.447
I think for a lot of people that often makes you think maybe you'll be a doctor mm-hmm.
00:05:11.687 --> 00:05:13.307
Or a provider of some kind.
00:05:13.648 --> 00:05:17.608
but after undergrad, I was very lucky to work at the NIH for a couple of years.
00:05:17.923 --> 00:05:24.012
at the Institute for Mental Health and there about 50% of the job was working with patients and 50% was data.
00:05:24.283 --> 00:05:29.112
And it was, while I was there, I realized I was a lot more interested in the data side and sort of system level thinking.
00:05:29.163 --> 00:05:35.403
That goes into healthcare and that was what led me to find the whole world of health services research and health economics.
00:05:35.463 --> 00:05:39.293
So that was what I pursued academically, and got a graduate degree.
00:05:39.483 --> 00:05:42.333
But following that, have tried to work at different stakeholders.
00:05:42.333 --> 00:05:46.713
so I've worked on the provider side at Penn Medicine and the Philadelphia va.
00:05:47.103 --> 00:05:59.843
Have worked on the payer side, sort of at an internal health services research team at Anthem and now at Trilliant where this sort of, Third party player that can leverage data to really try and get at the heart of the issues.
00:05:59.892 --> 00:06:03.612
we don't have a vested interest in telling one anyone any particular answer.
00:06:03.663 --> 00:06:13.112
so our focus is really just leveraging the data to help our clients and partners understand what's going on within their particular market and how they should be thinking strategically about things.
00:06:13.112 --> 00:06:13.442
Yeah.
00:06:14.163 --> 00:06:15.923
Ooh, that's kind of an interesting place.
00:06:16.762 --> 00:06:19.112
To be, if you're agnostic
00:06:19.173 --> 00:06:19.382
Yeah.
00:06:19.442 --> 00:06:23.512
About what the data is, but, excited about delivering it.
00:06:23.517 --> 00:06:23.668
Mm-hmm.
00:06:24.168 --> 00:06:30.077
Sometimes that means you're gonna have customers who have very specific data that they want in a very specific way.
00:06:30.197 --> 00:06:30.288
Mm-hmm.
00:06:30.858 --> 00:06:34.697
Or there might be people who you need to convince that this is its own.
00:06:34.728 --> 00:06:34.817
Mm-hmm.
00:06:35.177 --> 00:06:36.887
Like why it's even important.
00:06:36.918 --> 00:06:37.098
Mm-hmm.
00:06:37.978 --> 00:06:39.687
Most people come to you.
00:06:39.963 --> 00:06:43.052
Like looking for when they want to better understand their data.
00:06:43.202 --> 00:06:43.622
Yeah.
00:06:43.932 --> 00:06:49.723
usually sort of a, a principle or underlying question is just what's going on in my market.
00:06:50.173 --> 00:06:50.413
Okay.
00:06:50.473 --> 00:06:50.923
Yeah.
00:06:50.923 --> 00:06:54.642
But I mean, healthcare data is so fragmented and
siloed.
00:06:54.642 --> 00:06:56.983
So if you think about a particular hospital.
00:06:57.398 --> 00:07:04.117
Or even a particular payer, they generally have really good visibility into what's going on within their own four walls.
00:07:04.117 --> 00:07:06.668
or within their own patient population.
00:07:06.668 --> 00:07:09.458
That's why you wanna be on the company plan, right?
00:07:09.458 --> 00:07:23.288
But if a patient is getting their primary care at one hospital in a market or health system, but they're doing specialty care somewhere else down the road, that hospital isn't actually going to have visibility into that leakage or lost care, if you will.
00:07:23.663 --> 00:07:31.642
So given the amount of data that we aggregate and the way we clean it, it's this ability to really understand a particular patient journey.
00:07:31.673 --> 00:07:31.882
Yeah.
00:07:32.062 --> 00:07:37.312
And every single place that they get care who provides it and what it costs.
00:07:37.343 --> 00:07:39.593
And it's exciting to be able to put those pieces together.
00:07:40.012 --> 00:07:40.023
Mm-hmm.
00:07:40.023 --> 00:07:40.127
It's so good.
00:07:41.317 --> 00:07:43.208
I, I'm honestly a little bit shocked.
00:07:43.208 --> 00:07:46.867
We've been talking about healthcare data and like economics mm-hmm.
00:07:46.869 --> 00:07:47.043
For almost 15 minutes.
00:07:47.043 --> 00:07:47.052
Mm-hmm.
00:07:47.708 --> 00:07:54.038
And I don't know that I've heard you specifically call out like how AI is gonna transform anything.
00:07:54.038 --> 00:07:54.098
Yeah.
00:07:54.307 --> 00:07:55.507
I'm a little bit shocked.
00:07:55.927 --> 00:08:04.687
do you have an opinion about, right, like, we're hearing all about AI is going to solve all of these problems, make workflows faster?
00:08:05.447 --> 00:08:05.507
Yeah.
00:08:06.048 --> 00:08:13.548
Obviously, like one of the things that AI really enables us to do is to understand, translate, and like mm-hmm.
00:08:13.788 --> 00:08:17.668
Get into data, in powerful new ways.
00:08:18.208 --> 00:08:25.197
How, how do you approach, large language models or, you know, the, the boom of AI in the work that you do at Trillium?
00:08:25.228 --> 00:08:31.538
Yeah, so at Trilliant, for a number of years now, AI in the different categories of ai.
00:08:31.567 --> 00:08:36.893
We've been leveraging, you know, large machine learning models for a very long time, but now thinking about.
00:08:37.748 --> 00:08:44.197
The dawn of generative ai, we do really need to think about where is it likely to be effective and where is it likely to be ineffective.
00:08:44.258 --> 00:08:44.378
Mm-hmm.
00:08:44.888 --> 00:08:49.107
So though I'm often a skeptic of things, it does feel a little unavoidable.
00:08:49.158 --> 00:08:52.967
I do think one thing though, about things like generative AI or.
00:08:53.697 --> 00:09:02.697
You know, natural language models, it makes the cleanliness of the data that it sits on top of that much more important.
00:09:02.937 --> 00:09:03.028
Mm-hmm.
00:09:03.298 --> 00:09:12.268
So the idea of garbage in and garbage out is potentially a real multiplier effect when you then just stick some sort of generative ai Yeah.
00:09:12.368 --> 00:09:31.607
So luckily we've really put in the groundwork over the last five to seven years to make sure our claims data and our health plan price transparency data is organized in a way that we think there's the potential for, These sorts of generative AI technologies to plug it and actually leverage it, rather than potentially
00:09:31.613 --> 00:09:31.753
mm-hmm.
00:09:32.212 --> 00:09:37.523
Multiplying inaccuracies and potentially providing people with the wrong answers.
00:09:37.582 --> 00:09:42.712
So the cleanliness of the data has not changed and maybe has actually become that much more important.
00:09:43.263 --> 00:09:56.923
Like for you to, to like maintain sort of the values around the product robustness as well as like the, the authority that the data that you're sharing, provides.
00:09:57.133 --> 00:09:59.413
In order to protect those key principles mm-hmm.
00:09:59.712 --> 00:10:03.582
You actually have to be more ready, more prepared, more organized.
00:10:03.852 --> 00:10:03.942
Yeah.
00:10:03.972 --> 00:10:05.562
which Right.
00:10:05.562 --> 00:10:09.192
Like often we hear about faster, less work, less time.
00:10:09.192 --> 00:10:09.283
Mm-hmm.
00:10:09.523 --> 00:10:11.832
And to, to be more organ like.
00:10:11.832 --> 00:10:14.082
I love that, that paradigm between those two.
00:10:14.712 --> 00:10:17.842
So, Possibly part of your answer to my next question.
00:10:17.873 --> 00:10:17.962
Mm-hmm.
00:10:18.202 --> 00:10:20.332
But, the show is called The Tech Glow Up.
00:10:20.337 --> 00:10:20.498
Mm-hmm.
00:10:20.638 --> 00:10:23.783
And a Glow Up is a notable transformation.
00:10:23.812 --> 00:10:23.903
Mm-hmm.
00:10:24.263 --> 00:10:30.743
What's the Glow Up that you see healthcare needs to have in 2026?
00:10:30.982 --> 00:10:32.182
Needs to have?
00:10:32.212 --> 00:10:32.543
Yeah.
00:10:32.592 --> 00:10:34.663
Good data is one of those things, right?
00:10:34.663 --> 00:10:44.472
It's always been a challenge in our in industry, but as we think about AI and how, and where it plugs in good data is just going to become that much more critical.
00:10:44.562 --> 00:10:44.743
Yeah.
00:10:44.993 --> 00:10:48.773
I think the other place where we need an obvious G Glow Up is value.
00:10:50.232 --> 00:10:52.003
historically, again with sort of how much
00:10:52.003 --> 00:10:52.753
was that bandaid
00:10:53.773 --> 00:11:01.633
with the proprietary prices, it's no wonder that prices within our market are all over the place.
00:11:01.993 --> 00:11:02.052
Yeah.
00:11:02.113 --> 00:11:04.153
and are indefensible in a lot of ways.
00:11:04.153 --> 00:11:10.423
So moving forward, we need to figure out how to get that value equation in place if a particular patient.
00:11:10.783 --> 00:11:19.842
Goes to the same provider and receives the same surgery and they have one health insurance company versus another, that procedure should not cost three x.
00:11:19.962 --> 00:11:20.023
Yeah.
00:11:20.023 --> 00:11:21.493
Just depending on who the payer is.
00:11:21.493 --> 00:11:25.033
So value also needs to be a huge component of all of this.
00:11:25.273 --> 00:11:25.783
Yeah.
00:11:25.842 --> 00:11:27.913
Like almost on all sides, right?
00:11:27.913 --> 00:11:28.332
absolutely.
00:11:28.452 --> 00:11:32.842
So as you think about the work and mission that you have at Trillian mm-hmm.
00:11:33.322 --> 00:11:37.143
what's the Glow Up, you see for the work that you're doing personally?
00:11:38.493 --> 00:11:48.423
A core principle for us, though, we're really lucky at our company to be guided by this noble purpose and that we realize, you know, healthcare is something that impacts every single American in this country.
00:11:48.932 --> 00:11:53.403
It's unaffordable for many and increasingly becoming that much more unaffordable.
00:11:53.898 --> 00:12:04.008
So we really are trying to do our best to leverage data to help stakeholders across the industry make the best sort of evidence-based and data-driven decisions that they can make.
00:12:04.067 --> 00:12:12.408
but again, thinking about value, the amount of money that we spend on our healthcare system and the outcomes that we get, it all just really doesn't add up.
00:12:12.408 --> 00:12:20.878
So I think there's also this question of how do we potentially do more with less, and how do we bring down that spending and those prices?
00:12:21.238 --> 00:12:28.197
And I don't think patients are going to, nor should they be responsible for sort of shopping us out of this problem.
00:12:28.202 --> 00:12:28.523
Mm-hmm.
00:12:28.668 --> 00:12:30.557
I don't think that's how we fix this problem.
00:12:30.557 --> 00:12:33.932
So, another stakeholder, we're very focused on our employers.
00:12:34.857 --> 00:12:40.528
employer sponsored insurance in our country provides coverage for the majority of people.
00:12:40.587 --> 00:12:53.548
How can we be getting data into the hands of employers to make sure that when they are deciding what benefits to choose on the front end for all of their employees, they're actually getting health benefits that will bring value to
00:12:54.003 --> 00:12:54.202
Yeah.
00:12:54.207 --> 00:12:55.677
people care about, right?
00:12:55.677 --> 00:12:59.427
Like another mobile app that'll tell you you're fat maybe isn't.
00:13:00.222 --> 00:13:02.113
Isn't what your employees are looking for.
00:13:02.113 --> 00:13:02.202
Mm-hmm.
00:13:02.832 --> 00:13:03.283
Sorry.
00:13:03.283 --> 00:13:05.202
If you're a mobile app that tells people they're fabulous.
00:13:05.413 --> 00:13:07.182
There's definitely a few of those out there.
00:13:08.217 --> 00:13:13.472
Alli, every innovator's journey, is never one that's taken alone.
00:13:13.613 --> 00:13:14.033
Mm-hmm.
00:13:14.388 --> 00:13:22.038
And especially in like the health tech space, how the role of mentors and guides and coaches.
00:13:22.878 --> 00:13:23.298
And right.
00:13:23.298 --> 00:13:32.607
Like how sometimes even very simple, just like I believe in you keep going, can have such an impressive, important impact on, on people's careers.
00:13:33.087 --> 00:13:41.278
Can you share how a mentor or a coach has been important for your career development and how you've gotten to where you are today?
00:13:41.368 --> 00:13:41.638
Yeah.
00:13:41.758 --> 00:13:44.577
Well, I, I think your point that mentorship is important.
00:13:44.577 --> 00:13:45.658
I couldn't agree more.
00:13:45.658 --> 00:13:51.988
I've been really lucky and fortunate to have had wonderful mentors sort of throughout my career, so.
00:13:52.423 --> 00:14:04.312
I mean, starting in undergrad, the research I was doing there, but then at the NIH, Ellen Lele, working at Penn Medicine, Matth Patel, who really is a healthcare innovator and trailblazer.
00:14:04.543 --> 00:14:10.383
now working at Triliant Health, the CEO, Hal Andrews, all of these people have really one belief in me.
00:14:10.383 --> 00:14:10.472
Mm-hmm.
00:14:10.712 --> 00:14:16.202
But also pushed me in my thinking and challenged some of my assumptions along the way.
00:14:16.322 --> 00:14:18.153
and I would also say that all of them.
00:14:18.932 --> 00:14:24.572
In different ways or another probably gave me a little more responsibility than I was ready for at that exact moment.
00:14:25.243 --> 00:14:30.493
which has led me to grow and figure out new things that I enjoy doing and things I might want to do.
00:14:30.582 --> 00:14:31.842
more or less in the future.
00:14:32.202 --> 00:14:36.852
and I, I literally was remembering the last time I was an asking this question mm-hmm.
00:14:37.423 --> 00:14:40.062
In the context of a healthcare conference.
00:14:40.212 --> 00:14:40.302
Mm-hmm.
00:14:40.543 --> 00:14:41.533
So like in October at Health.
00:14:42.418 --> 00:14:48.238
That particular perspective of like, they gave me more than I thought I was ready for mm-hmm.
00:14:48.488 --> 00:14:49.163
You figure it out.
00:14:49.163 --> 00:14:55.013
And I love that, that's like, that's the human relationship touch, right?
00:14:55.013 --> 00:14:58.332
Like that trust that, is what encourages that.
00:14:58.368 --> 00:14:59.707
Like it's nothing more than like.
00:15:00.533 --> 00:15:02.602
They gave me more than I was hoping for.
00:15:03.143 --> 00:15:05.753
And you rise to the occasion and you learn new things along the way.
00:15:05.932 --> 00:15:07.163
Amazing.
00:15:08.013 --> 00:15:10.842
Alli, we're down to the last question.
00:15:10.873 --> 00:15:11.383
Mm-hmm.
00:15:11.623 --> 00:15:18.043
I love to give people the opportunity to share a spicy soundbite, maybe a hot take on.
00:15:18.868 --> 00:15:24.148
technology, healthcare, ai, data culture really could be anything.
00:15:24.447 --> 00:15:26.607
Do you have a spicy hot
take for me?
00:15:27.597 --> 00:15:32.357
Well, this comes from, my days during my graduate work where I was studying low value care.
00:15:32.357 --> 00:15:36.763
But I do think there's this principle of less can be more actually.
00:15:36.822 --> 00:15:37.243
Mm-hmm.
00:15:37.322 --> 00:15:38.082
Or less is more.
00:15:38.357 --> 00:15:44.837
And I think we're sort of in the phase of more is better in healthcare and have been for a long time.
00:15:45.268 --> 00:15:46.048
but I think.
00:15:46.913 --> 00:16:01.312
Spending 18% of our GDP on healthcare, again, lower life expectancy in our country compared to the rest of the world and some pretty dismal outcomes, we have to take a hard look in the mirror and figure out how and where we can be spending less money on our healthcare system.
00:16:01.312 --> 00:16:01.373
Yeah.
00:16:01.403 --> 00:16:03.802
And get either the same or better.
00:16:06.413 --> 00:16:07.523
Do you have a thought?
00:16:08.513 --> 00:16:12.923
The idea of like, healthcare is so important and so expensive?
00:16:12.952 --> 00:16:13.043
Mm-hmm.
00:16:13.913 --> 00:16:18.202
Like the less, with more, I feel like I have a hard time,
00:16:18.253 --> 00:16:18.523
Yeah.
00:16:18.623 --> 00:16:21.173
So usually that means I just don't have the data.
00:16:21.383 --> 00:16:25.462
So I'm curious, like how, how would you encourage people to think about less is more
00:16:25.493 --> 00:16:25.582
mm-hmm.
00:16:26.013 --> 00:16:27.543
in this context of healthcare.
00:16:27.643 --> 00:16:29.533
I think there's a couple components right now.
00:16:29.533 --> 00:16:31.062
One is certainly price.
00:16:31.153 --> 00:16:31.243
Mm-hmm.
00:16:31.432 --> 00:16:38.062
we know that systematically if we can reign in some of that vari, it's too high and commercial prices that exist, yeah.
00:16:38.273 --> 00:16:43.222
We can systematically reduce our spending by some meaningful percentage.
00:16:43.253 --> 00:16:43.523
Yeah.
00:16:43.663 --> 00:16:48.552
second, just in terms of the amount of technology that's out there,
00:16:48.682 --> 00:16:48.893
Yeah.
00:16:49.613 --> 00:16:51.773
Each of those products should be demonstrating.
00:16:52.628 --> 00:17:03.998
Whether it's ROI or cost effectiveness, there needs to be data to support implementation of those things and when and where possible rapid experimentation, right?
00:17:04.028 --> 00:17:07.208
If some new AI tool gets deployed in a healthcare system, mm-hmm.
00:17:07.478 --> 00:17:12.667
Let's make sure it's being implemented in a way that we can test what its actual effects and outcomes are.
00:17:12.932 --> 00:17:16.508
Are there unintended consequences that we should be concerned about?
00:17:16.758 --> 00:17:16.847
Mm-hmm.
00:17:17.087 --> 00:17:19.847
Let's rip it out and try something else and try again.
00:17:20.028 --> 00:17:24.468
So I think a willingness to de adopt things is also really important and much needed.
00:17:24.827 --> 00:17:27.528
Why did I ask this question at the end of the interview?
00:17:29.127 --> 00:17:35.067
Because, I work on the go to market side, so we're like slightly different sides of the coin here.
00:17:35.442 --> 00:17:40.212
But Right, like on the go-to market side, you might be putting out new ideas once a quarter.
00:17:40.242 --> 00:17:40.363
Mm-hmm.
00:17:40.423 --> 00:17:47.353
On the digital transformation side, you might be like reviewing what you're gonna be doing next year, like every half.
00:17:47.383 --> 00:17:47.563
Mm-hmm.
00:17:47.637 --> 00:17:59.143
Like the timelines for testing some of these, you know, like even just getting a deal inked, you know, I've talked with like large systems, when you're working on an enterprise system, it might take six months of arguing about the terms.
00:17:59.222 --> 00:17:59.232
Mm-hmm.
00:17:59.232 --> 00:18:03.002
So how do you learn how to test something in four, four weeks?
00:18:03.053 --> 00:18:03.563
When it takes.
00:18:04.583 --> 00:18:06.532
You know, 20 to get the contract signed.
00:18:06.623 --> 00:18:07.073
Yeah.
00:18:07.073 --> 00:18:07.462
it is like,
00:18:07.913 --> 00:18:08.813
it's a challenge to
00:18:08.813 --> 00:18:10.103
me, such a magic space to be in.
00:18:10.113 --> 00:18:18.873
I think partnerships go a long way there, but also considering where we could be investing our dollar and things that maybe are a little less sexy.
00:18:18.903 --> 00:18:21.482
So, you know, things like primary care, right?
00:18:21.512 --> 00:18:26.403
Putting, if we think primary care is important and provides value to the system.
00:18:27.123 --> 00:18:33.333
Let's, you know, reconsider how it is that we're prioritizing and paying for it and put our, put our money where our mouth is.
00:18:33.413 --> 00:18:38.363
oh, and again, not expect everything to, when it comes to spending on primary care mm-hmm.
00:18:38.633 --> 00:18:40.073
That it's going to be cost saving.
00:18:40.073 --> 00:18:42.952
Sometimes it's okay to invest real money in that space.
00:18:44.603 --> 00:18:45.932
I love that Alli.
00:18:46.343 --> 00:18:59.202
That was not only a spicy hot take, but like some real specific advice about how to make it meaningful for patients is definitely a takeaway that I am thrilled to have on our talk today.
00:18:59.442 --> 00:19:01.782
Thank you so much for joining me on the Tech Glow Up.
