I dunno, but it sounds like we should get a beer sometime.

Not sure if this resonates also, but the engineers that took over all came from outside healthcare and had a strong "I'm going to apply what I know from Ticketmaster to solve healthcare!" mentality. Those of us that have 15 years of experience in healthcare would, at best, have a 10 minute "knowledge sharing" meeting with the engineering and product managers. And then we'd sit back and watch them make some really naive mistakes. [to be clear, I'm not about gatekeeping people from being involved in health tech, but rather I'm just exhausted at interacting with people with no self-awareness about the amount of things they don't know about a particular domain]

I'm still a bit bummed because I think we were actually just starting to get to some really cool, actually innovative, population health approaches that seemed effective for both improving outcomes and minimizing provider burnout. :(
