@gokulr @gauravvohra The best advice I received is once you acutely feel the pain point, know how to tackle it, and if you can’t tackle it yourself - then you hire. It ensures you actually have the problem before hiring.

@MattyKirsh This is a good point! Commercialization relies on getting HCP awareness / adoption which is tough. It cannot be controlled fully in biopharma as it relies on external stakeholders to buy in. Worthy of exploration and needs to solve problems for two sides - pharma and HCP.

@akgoyal Great point! It’s going to be an arms race between payers and providers for a little while.

Prior Auth is a pain, but new AI players are using LLMs to summarize medical charts and agent’s ability to automate payer phone calls to produce some PA serenity for practices. We dive deeper here: https://t.co/SfqV7r0lG4

@ideapharma Very cool graph! It’s something I’m curious about. I wonder how freshness and fragility is reflected by the market in market cap

[John Syme @j_syme11]

@nikillinit I think ICHRAs could be an answer but I worry about how the instability in the ACA market affects folks willingness to adopt. Touched on some of that here: https://t.co/1Lnih1diEa

@healthapiguy It’s going to be fascinating as they build out their supply chain functionality. These are critical systems that are tough to displace. As in all things good change management will be key.

@Convokebio @kleinerperkins @_DimensionCap @ACME @CommaCapital @Liquid2V @notboringco @AudaciousHQ @Lux_Capital Congrats! A great team building in an exciting space

Great article @UnionInsight on payer earnings. The continued mentions of payers embracing AI tools to manage costs and control MLR is a space I’ll be watching. Tailwind for both payer and provider RCM tech as it signals no abatement of the arms race. https://t.co/KTaienaZyM

@ankurnagpal Seems helpful! Could shoot a copy my way?

@carrynointerest Such a good post! Time to utility is such a good metric that can get lost in all the “easier to measure” sales metrics but it is critical.

@BeckersHR highlighted a report on YoY hospital margin changes. The largest hospitals (500+ beds) had the largest YoY decrease in margin! Looks like it’s driven by increases in supply and drug expenses vs smaller peers. I thought economies of scale would’ve helped prevent this.

@JaredSleeper @Wing_VC Great post! At its core investing seems all about psychology and being disciplined through hype cycles

@PrimumHealthInc Excited to see where 2024 takes us!
