	"One of the greatest challenges with supplemental data is acquiring timely data to use in representing a real-world changing environment. Models that rely on supplemental data from medical documentation or patient lifestyles create opportunity to improve patient care and outcomes, but it is less safe than ever to assume outside factors will be constant. Whether modeling product markets or predicting patients who are at greater risk, there is tremendous interaction and change, as everyone from consumers to competitors reacts faster and evolves more quickly." - Swati Abbott, Chief Executive Officer, Blue Health Intelligence
	"...interventions targeting retention and re-engagement in care by reducing disengagement from care and increasing re-engagement of care by 50% were projected by the model to avert 494,000 HIV infections over 20 years, a 36% reduction." The cost-effectiveness ratio was $33,700 per QALY [quality-adjusted life year] gained.
