Sure.

So Janet Carlson, I am a registered nurse.

I began working in the ambulatory space at a multi-specialty center in the early 2000s.

And I've worked in every role in an ASC and I've led some very successful surgery centers.

And now I am in charge with creating, designing, operationalizing

and scaling our ambulatory operations for Commonwealth Pain and Spine.

And our ASCs are under a new name and logo.

It's called Advanced Surgical Institute.

And so I'm currently working right now on building four ASCs across three states.

You know, I know everyone says AI, but I really think that's an important component as an adjunct technology capability to help us better serve our patients and

For example, having an automated call system with an integrated AI feature that will help be responsive to patient calls to clinics and to surgery centers, keep that communication going with patients because often they get frustrated.

They have to get switched around to multiple people.

They don't end up talking to somebody.

So I think AI is something that

we're just going to see more increased use of in the space as well as, you know, enhancing our existing workflows.

Another example would be using AI for a template for your EHR charting in an ASC.

And that would allow you just to populate specifics to the patient case at hand.

But it would be very helpful

in your throughput times in an ASC, reducing some of the manual entry and charting requirements that you have today.

So AI is one of the things I'm watching.
