Healthcare is really hard. We do things that are really hard. Nobody is saying that we expected all of these large tech companies to just solve it immediately. But do we need large tech in healthcare? Yes. Now the question is how?

Is healthcare too complicated? Yes. That's the issue. Healthcare is not one industry, as we've said, it's at least three and probably more like seven. Every time you turn around, there's some other layer you learn about within an industry. There's a lot there and anybody who's trying to tackle it all is gonna be in trouble.

Things shift. Even in non-healthcare. Where do you go from the best of breed point solutions to the platform and back again? Right now I think Epic is trying to be all things to all people. Will that change?

Netflix looked at the pieces between what was and wasn’t working. How can you actually disrupt there? What are those assumptions that are wrong? The core assumption with Blockbuster is that you can't keep a DVD as long as you want. But Netflix was like, at the beginning, you can keep it as long as you want. You’re just not getting another one, which is brilliant.

One of the challenges in healthcare is that everything has meaning. Everything could benefit patients or providers or whoever. It's about prioritization and what the pandemic did was hyper prioritization.
