Step aboard with Blackbox, where the skies are blue and the future of healthcare is bright.
Let me warn you - healthcare data puzzles rarely play fair. They are notorious for arriving at the party without all their pieces, some forget their boxes, and a very small percentage brings a clear picture of what you’re trying to solve. If you’re like me, those challenges only make data puzzles more enticing. How many pieces are in your puzzle, begging to be put together to show a clear picture of patient throughput?
There is no better time in healthcare than now. It wasn't that long ago that I stood at the ICU bedside, exclaiming to my colleagues that "This is a hospital, not a hotel..." (insert cringe) as we complained about needy patients or needy family members. Boy was I wrong! Little did we know that when we selected healthcare as a college major, that we were in fact selecting hospitality. With that, we must think and act like we're in the service industry. We would never imagine a concept of "yes, but not yet" in a service industry such as auto sales, so why do we accept it in healthcare?
