Maybe taking a step back, you know, one of the things that we always hear when we go to these conferences is that EMRs are built for billing.

But it seems like at the end of the day, the EMR is actually not that great of a tool for revenue collection.

Another question that just came to mind is just as you think about scaling up your infrastructure around AI and automation, I mean, you have peers doing it, so I'm sure it's competitive for talent, but also the payers are doing it as well.
