	"With half of all U.S. physicians experiencing burnout symptoms exacerbated by the crushing clerical overhead associated with implementation and usage of current "cutting edge," health information technology, it's no wonder physicians view "the next great thing" with skepticism. We spend more, implement over longer periods and deliver products that frustrate instead of delight. As the nation's healthcare needs tip toward chronic disease management, facilitating new doctor/patient interactions that scale is critical. Some solutions get us part of the way there, but new engagement, new thinking and new system innovations are required to truly unlock a technological revolution in healthcare. Innovation that creates "clickwork" in place of paperwork and gadgets with limited clinical impact must go. The 2,000-year-old doctor/patient relationship should take center stage with a focus on new care delivery models, workflow enabling tools and delightful experiences that solve the health challenges of the present and future." - Jack Stockert, M.D. Managing Director, Strategy and Business Development, Health2047
	"Consider advances in the treatment of hepatitis C. Just a few years ago, the best available therapies cured at most, 70% of patients. And treatment lasted the better part of a year.Now, a new class of treatments boasts cure rates well above 90%. Analysts say that it's "feasible" to eradicate the disease in the United States in our lifetimes."
