The goal is constantly trying to shift from things that we deem as inefficient, to more patient centric, more humane and less expensive etc. This is the pursuit of healthcare. This is the basis of disruptors trying to come into the market.

I love the debate about buy or build your own. Do we go after vendor products or do we develop our own? There's a reason for both. The Mayo Clinic is extremely well known for building their own. And yet I'm finding when you try to build your own you often run into all sorts of conflicts. Especially with resources and priorities.

A large group of people are now completely remote. I think the future will be hybrid. There will be a lot more hoteling and collaborative spaces. Some formal days where teams come together for meetings but a lot of remote. I think that overall milieu will be a more productive and frankly collaborative world for us to work in.

Just before COVID hit, we were already talking about more remote radiology viewing stations at home. We'd set up about 6 of them. Two weeks into COVID, we had 50 up and running. That's an example of a new workflow that will almost for sure be sustained, because in private practice radiology, more radiologists are starting to work from home.
