And then you talked about checklists, which

Actually, there's a great book written by Atul Gawande called The Checklist Manifesto, which is really a good read as well.

So it's more...

It's let's see what we've done.

Okay.

And then the other side is, and for quality improvement is, well, what are the things that we can make better?

And data has, in my thinking, really expanded the ability for us to do quality improvement because of access to that data or getting the data in a

you know, very short term to sort of examine things.

So my, okay, with all that, that's the preamble here.

The question is, there are so many things, and this is the creative part of my, my brain, there are so many things that we can improve.

And so from a stratus health, you know, perspective, and where, you know, you, you know, your perch on the balcony, as it were,

What processes do you see the most effective for identifying which areas we should be looking at quality improvement on?

I know there's not a secret sauce for this, but there's so many things that we could go after.

How do you go about sort of narrowing the field for what to focus on?

That's great.

Thanks.
