Question: What are you most excited about right now?
Dr. Claude Pirtle: I am most excited about how hospitals, clinics, industry and consumers will use health data in the future. Healthcare continues to move toward a consumer-centric ecosystem, allowing continued improvements in the quality of care provided. As data-sharing frameworks become more robust and integrated, we will continue empowering the consumer and shifting the paradigm from reactive healthcare to a more wholesome proactive approach.
