This Just In @HIMSS16: Vishal Agrawal
Justin: That's fantastic. How are you guys addressing...In 2016, 2017, what do you think are your main drivers around what you're going to address and how you're addressing?
Vishal: Sure, thank you. Our main drivers are around generating the linkages to all of those who supply information, the provider set around the country. We are currently embedded in about 18,000 provider sites - over 3000 hospitals and about 15,000 outpatient and clinic sites. That collectively represents about 60 to 70 percent of all US healthcare expense - to continue to expand that network that we've built over the last 40 years, then marry the supply side of information with the demand side of information. That demand side is a very broad ecosystem. Most of us think of the demand side as the patients, the doctors, the hospitals, to some extent, the health plans. The full ecosystem of healthcare expands into the legal domain, the government services social services domain, the property and casualty insurance companies. There are a lot of organizations that need the health information to drive their core operations. We actually serve over one million unique requestors today. We expect to grow that base and provide them the information they need in a very timely fashion.
