"Machine learning can produce predictive models that can take advantage of any broad data that’s available and have a much higher fidelity than traditional techniques. AI allows you to look at it all. It has become a sophisticated, comprehensive new tool—and in some ways a new approach—that can compliment or replace some existing high-cost, low-return, population-health assets. And that will end up benefiting everyone."
- Nick Giannasi, Chief AI Officer, Change Healthcare

"25% of patients refer to online reviews when researching doctors. Once they have checked out the reviews, patients are beginning to adopt electronic scheduling, with 21% of patients currently booking their appointments online—a figure that is only expected to rise as generations shifts and younger patients prioritize convenience."
