As practicing clinicians, we recognized that we were spending 80% of our time mining and analyzing data and only 20% of our time actually taking action. We wanted to flip the script, understanding that at the end of the day, all of the value was in the intervention. While analytics tools, balanced scorecards, and other reports were helpful, what we really needed was the answers to the test!

We had a talented clinical team at our founding organization and were proud of our efforts. However, we realized that dozens (if not hundreds) of other hospitals were struggling with the same problems we were working through and often already found solutions. We believe there is tremendous leverage in learning from others. We sought out to form a robust network of other hospitals against which we could benchmark and learn.

We relied on a number of helpful vendors when we were in hospital practice. But what separated the best from the rest were those who really walked a mile in our shoes and understood the reality of our practice environment. We’re proud to invest in a team of clinicians with deep pharmacy and medication safety experience who know what it’s like to operate in a hospital.
