“Through the ‘What if?’ they’d also be able to look at if they noticed that their drug and med expense happened to be red each month, they can click on it and it would take you to a whole nother screen that was all the best practices that were collected around drugs and meds.” (20:19)
“We’re kinda working on a better way to manage, ‘How do we get those best practices rolling in?’” (22:49)
“What we’ve done is we’ve actually broken these cases out into that level on granularity that I can look at ACL with knee scope and then I would only be looking at cases that did an ACL and a knee scope.” (26:31)
“I think it makes a difference if the people out there who are driving a business know that they’re being tracked and held accountable to what they’re doing.” (29:52)
“So, we’ll have a dashboard we built for the facility, but then we have the exact same one built where you can roll up the numbers to the region, roll up the numbers to the market President so they’ve got visibility as well now which I think at the end of the day helps everybody. ” (30:27)
