Okay.

So I want to do a simplification for myself, but then I want to do a deeper dive into the quality improvement aspect.

So there's like two parts of my brain, you know, a left and a right, and it's still working pretty well.

But I'm sort of like a data geek.

And when

So it's more...

I don't want to say backward looking, but it's, you know, it's more reactive.

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
