THE PROBLEM
THe USUAL SUSPECTS
Beyond the $4.1 trillion U.S. Healthcare cost and current COVID-19 challenges, our nation strives for a modernized Healthcare system. A Healthcare system that matches expectations other industries have digitally transformed.

As digital giants, push organizations towards DHPs, AI, and Cloud, we are all anchored in the necessary reality of incumbent EHR platforms, informatics (e.g., SNOMED CT, LOINC), and legacy infrastructure (e.g., HL7 v2).
