We think the conversation that a patient shares with their doctor or care team is an important one, both in the office and between visits. Thanks to payment reform and new technologies, this relationship is in the middle of a massive transformation. Continuing the Conversation is a recurring market update in your inbox every few weeks that will include interesting articles, compelling statistics, and relevant insights from thought leaders throughout the space, as well as our view on the future of the "Health Conversation". Health happens between visits, we think healthcare should too.
