3 Takeaways:

Look at how other countries are operating and use them as a model for improvement when possible.It’s important to use data to continually evaluate age-old institutions like healthcare, because there’s always room for innovation.Giving someone their own data empowers them to make decisions around that information.

Key Quotes:

“We work to deliver value-based care. And I think there is no other way than having slick data in your ecosystem that can drive that. You need to touch all these data points to identify physician performance, patient satisfaction, the quality of care, the cost of care...and if that's how you're going to pay the healthcare system and provide great care, then it has to be data driven.”“Data changes behavior. If you have the right data to see what might play out in the future, you will definitely change those actions to change that future. A lot of times we don't see that future, and that's why we don't change our actions today. I think data is the only way that you can do that.”“What is important? I think we all forget we are here for a finite time period, and you have to have a mission that's bigger than you and bigger than finances and other things.”
