But that means that there are organizations that are partners of ours, that are collaborators of ours, doing comparable work focused on Medicare quality throughout the country.

It's a great network, and we learn from and share with each other as we're doing that important work on behalf of Medicare.

Yeah, great question.

The first thing that comes to mind for me, Stan, is that it's a reflection of quality now is so encompassing of a broad range of fields, not just clinical and medical sciences, but in her example, industrial engineering, I shared previously, we now draw on

dissemination and implementation science, which draws on behavioral sciences and social sciences, right?

We're getting so much smarter about all the things that we can bring to bear in the complex work of trying to improve health and healthcare.

So it is a multidisciplinary field today and will continue to be that.

But in answer to your question, so Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, they have really terrific internal performance improvements and quality and safety experts in-house, right?

So there, I imagine, and I know of them, they do just terrific work.

So what they don't need is that internal coaching and support because they have a whole infrastructure and team and devoted capacity to doing that.

But the way they might engage with a Stratus Health-like organization in Massachusetts is on broader efforts that might be a statewide campaign to say, we want to increase awareness of the importance of early screening for cancers.

So you don't know where that patient is going to end up.

They may or may not end up at Dana-Farber, but if we can get people to recognize and screening to be done earlier, we're going to be catching cancers earlier and that's going to be beneficial across all of us.

So we're going to collaborate even with others who might be our competitors, Dana-Farber, in other ways, but we're going to collaborate to improve prevention and screening.

And that might be a way they would engage locally with an organization like ours and

to, again, join forces to do something where we set competition aside at the door because we know this is going to be of benefit to all of us.

Does that make sense?

Well, it does feel a bit too much.

I don't have a specific answer, but I would tell you that that's what we're

thinking about and wrestling with right now.
