Quote
  "... the U.S. is still even further from the expectation of perfect execution due to the siloed way in which many U.S. health systems think about integrated care delivery. To remedy this gap, the U.S. needs to create a meaningful feedback loop that enables population health analytics to start to move beyond trailing business intelligence. Rather, U.S. healthcare must look into examining the wider population on an individual patient level and track interventions against each patient.”
- Robbie Hughes, Founder and CEO, Lumeon.
