Miriam Lieber On How HME Providers Are Excellent HME News In 10 podcast

15:50

Welcome to a special episode of HME News in 10 sponsored and developed by Brightree. Today’s guest is Addison Perrymond, head of product management for Brightree. He joins HME News in 10 to talk about why HME providers need to mine technology for “strategic transformation tools that deliver real business outcomes.” “What we find is that our customers are looking at individual tasks and trying to incrementally make those better,” he says. “But if we reimagine that and say, ‘What is the outcome you’re aiming for,’ we can really solve that in a unique way.” We also walk through all the buzzwords, whether it’s labor (how you make good performers great), automation (how you address not only efficiency but care quality) and data (how you use it meaningfully and responsibly).
