Notable quotes from Rich’s interview:
I want to be the person that can make a large difference with small changes in how you deal with people and how you command medical knowledge
When they are in such a dire set of circumstances and you can provide insight – or at least let them know what’s happening, and then come up with plans around both their medical conditions as well as social functions and needs, it can be a powerful experience.
What you do very well in the US is scaling things. Thinking about the biggest ideas, and raising tons of money, and leveraging academic institutions. To see the scale of the operations there was very impressive.
Things are changing quite rapidly with respect to innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit, and it’s starting to get applied to digital health.
You’ve experienced that problem – Every physician has – in terms of the frustration and sometimes anger and resentment you’d have towards your EHR.
That process of continuously improving things and wanting to innovate while having the team to do it is a super exciting place to be.
