Quotes:

"The trick is to really engage that patient file throughout those twelve months and again when we get to one of those tentpole moments like Doctors' Day."

"I'd recommend if you have some non-solicitation and communication that's going out at the start of month start, tease out the fact that Doctors' Day is coming up, tease out some some nice stories about some of the doctors that are on your staff."

“You would be surprised how many organizations of all sizes put out annual reports […] through their website or through pdfs that aren't easily machine readable and you really have to start thinking about, ‘Can ChatGPT or similar tools read our annual report?’”

“AI is really uniquely positioned to provide a lot of opportunity, especially for those that have not typically had that opportunity in the past to access or to leverage technology.”

Quotes:

“Thinking about your audiences and goals as it connects to your mission I think has been around for a while, and it’s still the right way to go about deciding what approach you should take, and then related to that approach, what tools you should use.”
