Yeah, well, I'm also on the clinical field.

I've nursed by trade.

I've been a nurse over 40 years.

So number one, it makes me old.

But number two, I've had the honor or the frustration of watching us proceed through the clinical times decade after decade.

I really never thought I'd be sitting here today talking about

being efficient in healthcare because we're like the most inefficient industry out there.

There's no doubt about it.

And especially as I've gotten older and more in the leadership and administrative role and watching how people are

people as in insurance companies.

The people that are helping us supposedly grow in our field are the ones that are actually killing us in our field.

And how can we get where we need to be?

So I have worked in the hospital.

I've been running surgery centers for over 25 years.

I've worked for just about every management company out there in one shape or form from

and all the way down to independent physician-owned facilities.

I've used almost every software out there at one point or time.

So I've gathered a lot of information, and it's really an honor to, at this point in my life, be able to share everything that I've learned with hopefully prospective clients and just the healthcare community out there in the surgery center world.

It's all boiling down to the software that you have in your center and what's helping you be more efficient.

You know, because I've seen, you know, I walk into a lot of surgery centers that have been around for 20 plus years.
