I am going to a mixer at the Practice Fusion offices in SF sponsored by XX in Health. Today's topic focuses on outsiders in healthcare, a concept to which I can heartily relate!
As a mechanical engineer, I have not been through med school, worked in clinics, or been totally familiarized with policies and regulations most providers deal with every day (yet). However, I can take my engineering approach to learning to really understand the problem of adherence -- the complex interdependent variables, the network effects, the difference between theory and reality and why rigorous testing is a requirement. It's a complex, ever-changing problem, but I'll apply my experience in product design, robotics, and artificial intelligence and see what happens.
Maybe being an outsider is what it takes to see a new solution...
