This is Laura Dirdo with the Becker Swift

17
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,934
Care podcast. I'm thrilled today to be joined

18
00:00:41,934 --> 00:00:44,574
by Michael Archuleta, chief information officer and HIPAA

19
00:00:44,574 --> 00:00:47,314
information security officer at Mount Saint Raphael Hospital.

20
00:00:47,375 --> 00:00:48,655
Michael, it's a pleasure to have you on

21
00:00:48,655 --> 00:00:49,714
the podcast today.

22
00:00:50,015 --> 00:00:52,094
Hey. Well, thank you very much, Laura. Really

23
00:00:52,094 --> 00:00:53,234
honored to be here.

24
00:00:53,609 --> 00:00:55,530
Now I'm looking forward to our conversation. I

25
00:00:55,530 --> 00:00:56,729
know we'll dig deep into some of the

26
00:00:56,729 --> 00:00:58,170
cool things that you've done over the last

27
00:00:58,170 --> 00:01:00,009
year and then how you're thinking about the

28
00:01:00,009 --> 00:01:01,769
future. But before we dive into that, could

29
00:01:01,769 --> 00:01:03,449
you tell us a little bit more about

30
00:01:03,449 --> 00:01:06,090
Mount Saint Raphael Hospital and, what makes you

31
00:01:06,090 --> 00:01:06,590
unique?

32
00:01:07,255 --> 00:01:07,995
Yeah. Absolutely.

33
00:01:08,375 --> 00:01:10,615
But thank you again for allowing me the

34
00:01:10,615 --> 00:01:13,655
opportunity to speak here. Becker's is doing some

35
00:01:13,655 --> 00:01:16,695
phenomenal work, so we really appreciate the the

36
00:01:16,695 --> 00:01:17,515
great partnership

37
00:01:18,055 --> 00:01:19,495
and everything that your team,

38
00:01:19,814 --> 00:01:21,275
is doing moving forward.

39
00:01:21,709 --> 00:01:24,989
So Mount San Rafael Hospital isn't just a

40
00:01:24,989 --> 00:01:27,009
rural hospital. I like to say

41
00:01:27,310 --> 00:01:30,189
it's really a powerhouse of innovation. While many

42
00:01:30,189 --> 00:01:33,090
smaller facilities really struggle to keep up with

43
00:01:33,469 --> 00:01:36,750
digital transformation, we're really punching above our weight

44
00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:38,144
class, you know, really competing

45
00:01:38,604 --> 00:01:40,524
with some of the most advanced health systems

46
00:01:40,524 --> 00:01:42,045
out there. And the reason why I state

47
00:01:42,045 --> 00:01:45,004
that is we've had some great success around,

48
00:01:45,004 --> 00:01:47,644
you know, being recognized by Most Wired, which

49
00:01:47,644 --> 00:01:50,045
is a top nationally recognized health care IT

50
00:01:50,045 --> 00:01:52,740
award given to the top facilities making the

51
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:54,280
most progress of health I,

52
00:01:54,579 --> 00:01:55,319
health IT.

53
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:57,939
We're at HIMSS Analytics stage six facility, which

54
00:01:57,939 --> 00:01:59,620
is only a feat that 34%

55
00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:03,140
of US hospitals basically have. We're deploying cutting

56
00:02:03,140 --> 00:02:06,944
edge AI and radiology, really enhancing diagnostic speed

57
00:02:06,944 --> 00:02:09,044
and accuracy to really save lives

58
00:02:09,425 --> 00:02:11,584
in real time. And we've built one of

59
00:02:11,584 --> 00:02:13,284
the most resilient cybersecurity

60
00:02:13,664 --> 00:02:14,164
programs

61
00:02:14,705 --> 00:02:17,185
in health care, really ensuring our patients and

62
00:02:17,185 --> 00:02:19,125
providers operate in a secure,

63
00:02:19,425 --> 00:02:20,405
seamless environment.

64
00:02:20,770 --> 00:02:21,590
And we're continuously

65
00:02:21,969 --> 00:02:24,210
pushing the boundaries of digital health, you know,

66
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:27,330
from virtual desktops to AI driven automation to

67
00:02:27,330 --> 00:02:30,770
really ensuring the technology empowers care, not really

68
00:02:30,770 --> 00:02:33,909
complicates it. And that's what we're really doing

69
00:02:34,135 --> 00:02:37,034
as an overall organization. I've always stated that

70
00:02:37,175 --> 00:02:39,254
even though we're a small group, we cannot

71
00:02:39,254 --> 00:02:42,875
think small. We've done so many amazing initiatives

72
00:02:43,415 --> 00:02:45,275
that have really been lifesaving,

73
00:02:46,135 --> 00:02:47,915
for our patients that we serve.

74
00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:51,030
That's amazing to hear. You know, a really

75
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:51,530
impressive

76
00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:54,550
approach for, the rural hospital and something that

77
00:02:54,550 --> 00:02:55,770
I I know many organizations,

78
00:02:56,150 --> 00:02:58,550
you know, aspire to to move towards. Now

79
00:02:58,550 --> 00:03:01,509
from your perspective, what's the accomplishment you're most

80
00:03:01,509 --> 00:03:03,209
proud of from the last year or so?

81
00:03:03,754 --> 00:03:05,995
You know, that's that's really hard to choose

82
00:03:05,995 --> 00:03:08,395
just one. But if I had to, it

83
00:03:08,395 --> 00:03:10,254
would really be our groundbreaking

84
00:03:10,555 --> 00:03:13,915
AI implementation in radiology. You know, AI in

85
00:03:13,915 --> 00:03:14,415
radiology

86
00:03:15,034 --> 00:03:17,534
is really a game changer. We've really integrated

87
00:03:17,675 --> 00:03:19,650
the AI power radiology tools

88
00:03:20,129 --> 00:03:23,090
with radiology partners and AI doc to really

89
00:03:23,090 --> 00:03:23,590
significantly

90
00:03:24,209 --> 00:03:27,030
reduce turnaround times for critical diagnosis.

91
00:03:27,650 --> 00:03:30,530
So, like, in emergency situations like strokes or

92
00:03:30,530 --> 00:03:33,090
traumas, you know, minutes matter as we all

93
00:03:33,090 --> 00:03:35,685
know. And what we're doing is our AI

94
00:03:35,685 --> 00:03:39,145
driven workflow has really helped detect life

95
00:03:39,685 --> 00:03:42,504
threatening conditions faster and even

96
00:03:42,965 --> 00:03:45,365
better than ever, getting patients the treatments they

97
00:03:45,365 --> 00:03:47,449
need in real time. And you figure, this

98
00:03:47,449 --> 00:03:48,669
isn't just innovation.

99
00:03:48,969 --> 00:03:50,750
It's a revolution in patient

100
00:03:51,370 --> 00:03:53,469
care, which is such a critical element.

101
00:03:53,849 --> 00:03:55,629
And on top of that, you know, cybersecurity

102
00:03:55,849 --> 00:03:58,990
leadership, our hospital is now really a national

103
00:03:59,050 --> 00:04:01,985
model for rural cyber security excellence of everything

104
00:04:02,044 --> 00:04:02,944
that we've accomplished.

105
00:04:03,564 --> 00:04:06,525
And digital transformation, I've always spoke of digital

106
00:04:06,605 --> 00:04:08,544
digitalization within our organization.

107
00:04:09,085 --> 00:04:10,944
You know, I always have the saying that,

108
00:04:11,165 --> 00:04:13,319
you know, we know that the health care

109
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:15,659
industry is one of the most antiquated industries

110
00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:18,040
out there, but we're doing the most important

111
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,939
thing and that's dealing with patients' lives. That's

112
00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:24,360
enhancing better patient care. We should be leading

113
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,980
the pack when it comes to digitalization.

114
00:04:26,654 --> 00:04:28,654
And I've always stated that we have to

115
00:04:28,654 --> 00:04:29,634
tell the Flintstones

116
00:04:30,254 --> 00:04:31,714
to really meet the Jetsons.

117
00:04:32,095 --> 00:04:34,014
We are living in the digital age of

118
00:04:34,014 --> 00:04:36,334
health care. We need to continue to really

119
00:04:36,334 --> 00:04:37,154
show digitalization.

120
00:04:37,615 --> 00:04:40,975
We as an organization, we've really optimized a

121
00:04:40,975 --> 00:04:42,689
lot of our work flows. We really enhanced

122
00:04:43,629 --> 00:04:44,129
interoperability

123
00:04:44,430 --> 00:04:46,529
and eliminated a lot of inefficiencies

124
00:04:46,830 --> 00:04:49,550
that slow down care because you figure everything

125
00:04:49,550 --> 00:04:51,330
is now focused on digitalization.

126
00:04:52,189 --> 00:04:54,370
And having that HIMSS stage six recognition,

127
00:04:54,910 --> 00:04:57,694
this really validates that we're at the forefront

128
00:04:57,694 --> 00:04:58,835
of health care IT.

129
00:04:59,214 --> 00:05:01,055
You know? And when people think of small

130
00:05:01,055 --> 00:05:03,555
hospitals, they don't expect us to be playing

131
00:05:03,694 --> 00:05:06,274
in the big big leagues, but that's exactly

132
00:05:06,495 --> 00:05:09,009
what we're doing. And we're trying to at

133
00:05:09,009 --> 00:05:11,490
least be a good model facility to show

134
00:05:11,490 --> 00:05:14,389
that even though we are a small facility,

135
00:05:14,769 --> 00:05:18,050
we provide the best patient care with the

136
00:05:18,050 --> 00:05:19,349
most enhanced technologies

137
00:05:20,129 --> 00:05:22,069
for an organization our size.

138
00:05:23,455 --> 00:05:25,375
Well, it's amazing to hear. And, you know,

139
00:05:25,535 --> 00:05:28,095
I I'm wondering, looking ahead as well, what

140
00:05:28,095 --> 00:05:29,855
are some of the big growth opportunities that

141
00:05:29,855 --> 00:05:31,055
you have your eye on for the next

142
00:05:31,055 --> 00:05:32,275
twelve months or so?

143
00:05:32,975 --> 00:05:33,634
You know,

144
00:05:34,175 --> 00:05:36,574
expanding AI and imaging. You know, we're not

145
00:05:36,574 --> 00:05:37,795
stopping with radiology.

146
00:05:38,810 --> 00:05:41,470
AI will soon be assisting with pathology,

147
00:05:42,009 --> 00:05:43,870
diagnostics, and predictive analytics.

148
00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:46,509
You know, AI powered documentation,

149
00:05:46,889 --> 00:05:49,470
I think, really streamlining providers' workflows

150
00:05:49,930 --> 00:05:52,569
so that clinicians spend less time typing and

151
00:05:52,569 --> 00:05:54,805
more time treating. You know, interoperability

152
00:05:55,185 --> 00:05:56,165
and data exchange,

153
00:05:56,544 --> 00:05:59,504
we're making sure that data flows seamlessly between

154
00:05:59,504 --> 00:06:02,004
different platforms, really eliminating roadblocks

155
00:06:02,544 --> 00:06:05,285
and unlocking the next level of efficiency.

156
00:06:05,985 --> 00:06:08,050
And, again, cyber resilience.

157
00:06:08,430 --> 00:06:10,209
With AI driven threat detection,

158
00:06:10,589 --> 00:06:13,389
our cybersecurity program will be years ahead of

159
00:06:13,389 --> 00:06:14,610
the industry standards,

160
00:06:14,990 --> 00:06:17,329
which is such a critical key element

161
00:06:17,709 --> 00:06:20,129
when it comes to improving on cybersecurity,

162
00:06:21,425 --> 00:06:23,044
realizing that cybersecurity

163
00:06:23,425 --> 00:06:24,805
has to be a core component

164
00:06:25,185 --> 00:06:26,485
to the overall organization.

165
00:06:26,944 --> 00:06:29,425
And the future isn't coming. It's already here,

166
00:06:29,425 --> 00:06:32,305
and we're really trying to lead the overall

167
00:06:32,305 --> 00:06:33,764
charge moving forward.

168
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,539
That's helpful to understand. And I know cybersecurity

169
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,759
is on the tip of everybody's tongue right

170
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:40,399
now after,

171
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,000
you know, just some of the big, big

172
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,919
challenges in that space over the last year

173
00:06:43,919 --> 00:06:45,699
or so. So, you know, considering,

174
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:48,419
Mount Summer Summer FAL Hospital,

175
00:06:48,944 --> 00:06:50,625
and where it's at, you know, how do

176
00:06:50,625 --> 00:06:52,305
you really make sure you're putting the right

177
00:06:52,305 --> 00:06:53,685
resources towards cybersecurity

178
00:06:54,144 --> 00:06:54,464
and,

179
00:06:55,185 --> 00:06:56,084
are able to,

180
00:06:56,464 --> 00:06:58,784
you know, create a program that you feel

181
00:06:58,784 --> 00:07:01,540
confident in? You know, absolutely. That's that's a

182
00:07:01,540 --> 00:07:04,020
great question. You know? So, again, cybersecurity is

183
00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:05,240
such a critical element.

184
00:07:05,620 --> 00:07:07,699
We have to change the overall culture way

185
00:07:07,699 --> 00:07:10,420
of thinking of where we see digitalization, where

186
00:07:10,420 --> 00:07:12,439
we see technology, where we see cybersecurity.

187
00:07:13,314 --> 00:07:14,774
As I stated that cybersecurity

188
00:07:15,074 --> 00:07:17,074
has to be that core component to any

189
00:07:17,074 --> 00:07:18,774
overall organizational strategy.

190
00:07:19,154 --> 00:07:21,555
And we also have to focus on our

191
00:07:21,555 --> 00:07:24,754
people, our process, and our technology that we're

192
00:07:24,754 --> 00:07:26,454
incorporating into the organization.

193
00:07:27,389 --> 00:07:29,629
Because one of the critical components here is

194
00:07:29,629 --> 00:07:32,509
we're as technologists, we're always talking tech, tech,

195
00:07:32,509 --> 00:07:34,829
tech, tech, tech. We forget about the actual

196
00:07:34,829 --> 00:07:37,729
people aspect. We forget about the process process

197
00:07:38,509 --> 00:07:40,829
aspect of things, which is a which is

198
00:07:40,829 --> 00:07:41,970
a critical element.

199
00:07:42,324 --> 00:07:44,245
And you figure we have to change the

200
00:07:44,245 --> 00:07:47,524
conception of technology process and people and really

201
00:07:47,524 --> 00:07:50,105
bring it into that more, you know, people

202
00:07:50,165 --> 00:07:51,625
process then technology.

203
00:07:52,085 --> 00:07:54,185
And then also realizing that

204
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:56,920
you figure, where is your weakest

205
00:07:57,379 --> 00:08:00,500
your your biggest risk in any organization? That

206
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:03,300
is a human element. That is the the

207
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:04,680
unfortunate of things.

208
00:08:05,220 --> 00:08:08,340
You have to start building a very strong

209
00:08:08,340 --> 00:08:09,319
human firewall,

210
00:08:10,004 --> 00:08:12,805
a human firewall that's going to improve it,

211
00:08:12,805 --> 00:08:15,525
that's going to understand the apps the aspects

212
00:08:15,525 --> 00:08:17,305
of cybersecurity awareness.

213
00:08:17,845 --> 00:08:20,485
You know, building a strong cybersecurity awareness training

214
00:08:20,485 --> 00:08:23,125
program is such a critical element. I was

215
00:08:23,125 --> 00:08:23,525
reading,

216
00:08:24,470 --> 00:08:26,150
that there was a national poll that was

217
00:08:26,150 --> 00:08:29,689
basically done that stated that only 43%

218
00:08:29,910 --> 00:08:30,650
of organizations

219
00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:33,129
offer cybersecurity

220
00:08:33,590 --> 00:08:36,970
awareness training to their overall employees during orientation,

221
00:08:37,670 --> 00:08:38,970
which is a major concern.

222
00:08:39,394 --> 00:08:41,394
And you figure, we are doing more with

223
00:08:41,394 --> 00:08:44,294
less, trying to create more automation points, utilizing

224
00:08:44,355 --> 00:08:46,914
the technology to create better efficiencies is such

225
00:08:46,914 --> 00:08:47,975
a critical element,

226
00:08:48,514 --> 00:08:50,695
and trying to retain and keep

227
00:08:51,154 --> 00:08:54,054
specific talent is a is a crucial item.

228
00:08:54,339 --> 00:08:55,940
You know, when you get into more of

229
00:08:55,940 --> 00:08:58,500
the smaller facilities, more of the rural areas,

230
00:08:58,500 --> 00:09:00,440
it is very, very difficult.

231
00:09:00,899 --> 00:09:04,259
You know, looking at services like a 24

232
00:09:04,259 --> 00:09:05,559
by seven managed,

233
00:09:05,940 --> 00:09:10,024
security operation center on a MSP standpoint is

234
00:09:10,024 --> 00:09:12,524
is critical. I mean, looking at alternatives

235
00:09:13,144 --> 00:09:15,545
in that specific direction is really going to

236
00:09:15,545 --> 00:09:18,605
be a key element in driving your organization

237
00:09:19,065 --> 00:09:20,764
to a progressive state.

238
00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:23,910
Because, again, we have to continue to really

239
00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:24,410
invest

240
00:09:25,029 --> 00:09:27,110
in the security elements that we need to

241
00:09:27,110 --> 00:09:28,009
keep our organization

242
00:09:28,389 --> 00:09:31,029
safe because it's not getting easier. It's getting

243
00:09:31,029 --> 00:09:32,570
harder. It's getting more complex.

244
00:09:32,950 --> 00:09:35,190
There's a lot of new regulations out there.

245
00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:36,410
There's a lot of issues

246
00:09:36,954 --> 00:09:40,815
with these cyber threat actors. You're really utilizing

247
00:09:40,954 --> 00:09:43,615
artificial intelligence and just creating,

248
00:09:44,154 --> 00:09:47,615
more ways of obtaining access into an environment.

249
00:09:48,075 --> 00:09:50,714
So we have to also incorporate those tools,

250
00:09:50,714 --> 00:09:53,339
and we have to continue to invest in

251
00:09:53,339 --> 00:09:56,559
these initiatives because when we're talking about cybersecurity,

252
00:09:56,860 --> 00:09:58,379
when I go to my board of directors,

253
00:09:58,379 --> 00:10:00,319
I focus on three specific elements.

254
00:10:00,699 --> 00:10:04,159
I focus on FOR, financial, operational, and reputational.

255
00:10:05,014 --> 00:10:06,695
I tell them, I said, what would happen

256
00:10:06,695 --> 00:10:07,914
on a financial standpoint

257
00:10:08,215 --> 00:10:09,434
if a breach happened?

258
00:10:09,815 --> 00:10:12,215
What would happen on an operational standpoint if

259
00:10:12,215 --> 00:10:14,215
a breach happened? And what would happen on

260
00:10:14,215 --> 00:10:14,955
a reputational

261
00:10:15,414 --> 00:10:15,914
standpoint

262
00:10:16,375 --> 00:10:17,460
if a breach happened?

263
00:10:17,940 --> 00:10:21,139
Those are critical elements to really incorporate when

264
00:10:21,139 --> 00:10:22,759
trying to create an overall,

265
00:10:23,779 --> 00:10:26,420
story line of why you need a product

266
00:10:26,420 --> 00:10:29,620
in place to continue to basically keep your

267
00:10:29,620 --> 00:10:30,120
organization,

268
00:10:30,420 --> 00:10:31,240
your employees,

269
00:10:31,774 --> 00:10:34,095
and your patients as safe and secure as

270
00:10:34,095 --> 00:10:34,595
possible.

271
00:10:36,174 --> 00:10:37,855
That's really helpful to know. Thank you for

272
00:10:37,855 --> 00:10:39,695
walking us through that. Now are there any

273
00:10:39,695 --> 00:10:41,215
other challenges that you have your eye on

274
00:10:41,215 --> 00:10:41,875
right now?

275
00:10:42,894 --> 00:10:45,615
Yeah. You know, again, since we're talking about,

276
00:10:46,014 --> 00:10:46,514
cybersecurity,

277
00:10:46,894 --> 00:10:49,509
you know, cyber threats are really evolving, as

278
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:50,709
you know. You know, we're,

279
00:10:51,589 --> 00:10:54,329
really trying to stay ahead with next generation

280
00:10:54,470 --> 00:10:57,370
security strategies within the organization itself,

281
00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:58,809
which is so critical.

282
00:10:59,269 --> 00:11:01,750
Recruiting top talent. I mean, rural health care

283
00:11:01,750 --> 00:11:04,714
isn't always a first choice for IT professionals,

284
00:11:04,855 --> 00:11:07,095
but, you know, we're building a team that's

285
00:11:07,095 --> 00:11:09,334
just as, you know, as elite as those

286
00:11:09,334 --> 00:11:10,315
major metropolitan

287
00:11:10,774 --> 00:11:11,274
hospitals

288
00:11:11,654 --> 00:11:13,115
and regulatory complexities.

289
00:11:13,575 --> 00:11:16,315
You know, as AI digital health expands, compliances

290
00:11:17,014 --> 00:11:19,950
will become more, you know, more of an

291
00:11:19,950 --> 00:11:21,790
issue, and we need to be ready to

292
00:11:21,790 --> 00:11:24,450
really navigate the landscapes with precisions.

293
00:11:25,070 --> 00:11:27,870
And challenges, yes. But we don't just face

294
00:11:27,870 --> 00:11:30,210
them. We really try to engineer solutions

295
00:11:30,670 --> 00:11:32,690
that turn them into true opportunities.

296
00:11:34,574 --> 00:11:36,894
I love that outlook. Michael, thank you so

297
00:11:36,894 --> 00:11:38,975
much for sharing that with us. Now before

298
00:11:38,975 --> 00:11:40,654
we wrap up here, I'm wondering, what's the

299
00:11:40,654 --> 00:11:42,254
number one thing you're doing right now to

300
00:11:42,254 --> 00:11:44,095
set yourself up for long term success in

301
00:11:44,095 --> 00:11:44,674
the future?

302
00:11:45,454 --> 00:11:46,434
A %.

303
00:11:46,654 --> 00:11:47,315
You know,

304
00:11:47,789 --> 00:11:50,769
future proofing our hospital through AI, cybersecurity,

305
00:11:51,230 --> 00:11:52,610
and strategic vision,

306
00:11:52,990 --> 00:11:54,669
I think when we look at AI and

307
00:11:54,669 --> 00:11:56,049
automation's first approach,

308
00:11:56,589 --> 00:11:58,669
AI isn't just a tool. It's a game

309
00:11:58,669 --> 00:11:59,169
changer.

310
00:11:59,549 --> 00:12:00,289
We're really

311
00:12:00,644 --> 00:12:02,665
embedding it into our workflow

312
00:12:03,045 --> 00:12:05,065
into our workflows, really amplifying,

313
00:12:05,445 --> 00:12:08,884
you know, clinical intelligence and optimizing decision making,

314
00:12:08,884 --> 00:12:10,425
which is such a critical element

315
00:12:10,884 --> 00:12:13,305
and creating a really strong cybersecurity

316
00:12:13,845 --> 00:12:16,079
back backbone. You know, we're trying to set

317
00:12:16,079 --> 00:12:17,940
gold standards and rule cybersecurity,

318
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:21,539
really ensuring that patient data and hospital operations

319
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,980
remain as untouchable as possible.

320
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,600
And we all know that nothing is a

321
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:28,899
% secure,

322
00:12:29,294 --> 00:12:33,075
but continuing to basically have a strong incorporation

323
00:12:33,855 --> 00:12:34,514
of cybersecurity

324
00:12:35,214 --> 00:12:37,855
is such a critical element to continue to

325
00:12:37,855 --> 00:12:38,835
keep the organization

326
00:12:39,455 --> 00:12:41,154
as safe and secure as possible.

327
00:12:41,455 --> 00:12:43,235
And smart investments in technology,

328
00:12:43,670 --> 00:12:46,149
I mean, every dollar we spend is aligned

329
00:12:46,149 --> 00:12:47,769
with long term sustainability,

330
00:12:48,230 --> 00:12:50,809
efficiency, and really cutting edge patient care.

331
00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:53,029
And those are the specific items that we

332
00:12:53,029 --> 00:12:55,509
are really looking forward to for long term

333
00:12:55,509 --> 00:12:56,009
success.

334
00:12:57,664 --> 00:12:59,585
That's amazing to hear. Michael, thank you so

335
00:12:59,585 --> 00:13:01,264
much for joining us on our podcast today.

336
00:13:01,264 --> 00:13:02,945
This has been a really fun conversation, and

337
00:13:02,945 --> 00:13:04,465
I look forward to connecting with you again

338
00:13:04,465 --> 00:13:04,965
soon.

339
00:13:05,585 --> 00:13:07,585
Hey. Thank you very much, Laura. I appreciate

340
00:13:07,585 --> 00:13:08,245
the opportunity.

341
00:13:08,990 --> 00:13:11,070
Absolutely. And it'll be amazing to see you

342
00:13:11,070 --> 00:13:13,070
as well at our health IT digital health

343
00:13:13,070 --> 00:13:14,909
of revenue cycle event in October. I know

344
00:13:14,909 --> 00:13:16,669
you'll be speaking on a panel, really sharing

345
00:13:16,669 --> 00:13:18,669
more of our expertise and continuing the discussion

346
00:13:18,669 --> 00:13:20,429
on these. So I look forward to seeing

347
00:13:20,429 --> 00:13:22,429
you there. Super excited to be there. Thank

348
00:13:22,429 --> 00:13:23,089
you again.
