Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: You are listening to the global network of podcasters dedicated
- 0:09Speaker 1: to the pharmacy profession. Welcome to the Pharmacy Podcast Network.
- 0:31Speaker 2: You are listening to Framework Focus, the podcast that explores trends, innovations,
- 0:36Speaker 2: and insights in the long term care pharmacy industry. Join
- 0:40Speaker 2: us as we connect the entire LTC ecosystem.
- 0:43Speaker 3: Hey, welcome back to Framework Focus, the Softwriters podcast.
- 0:47Speaker 4: It's great to have you.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Back listeners out there tackling sometimes struggling. Hopefully not hopefully
- 0:55Speaker 3: you're preparing for twenty twenty six and but boy it
- 0:59Speaker 3: to run and operate and operate a pharmacy, a long
- 1:02Speaker 3: term care pharmacy today, there's a lot of things. There's
- 1:06Speaker 3: a lot of obstacles, a lot of things to get through.
- 1:09Speaker 3: It's the planning. It's putting things almost like a blueprint,
- 1:13Speaker 3: making sure that you're writing those goals and the challenges
- 1:17Speaker 3: down reach out to your technology providers. That's why Framework
- 1:20Speaker 3: Focus is such an important podcast on the Pharmacy Podcast Network.
- 1:25Speaker 3: We can rely on the team at Softwriters to bring
- 1:28Speaker 3: us information around the technology space and automation and tie
- 1:32Speaker 3: ins and today is a topic that we've been talking
- 1:37Speaker 3: about a lot on the Pharmacy podcast network and today
- 1:40Speaker 3: it's how AI is transforming long term cure pharmacy. We
- 1:46Speaker 3: have to have people on the team and in our
- 1:50Speaker 3: partners directories to get insights from because it's not us,
- 1:56Speaker 3: it's I mean, it's certainly not me. I look for
- 1:59Speaker 3: people that are the best to the best. I want
- 2:01Speaker 3: to introduce our guests today. I want to start off
- 2:04Speaker 3: with Rick Pollock. If you could just give us some
- 2:07Speaker 3: background on your soft Rick and share with the framework
- 2:10Speaker 3: focused listeners who you are, what you do in long
- 2:13Speaker 3: term care pharmacy.
- 2:14Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
- 2:16Speaker 5: You know, we were talking just a little bit ago,
- 2:18Speaker 5: and I give you a little bit of my background.
- 2:20Speaker 5: I started as a software engineer for years and kind
- 2:23Speaker 5: of transitioned into project and product management a while back.
- 2:27Speaker 5: I've been in healthcare for you know, fifteen years plus,
- 2:31Speaker 5: and I've been at Softwriters for about a year. When
- 2:34Speaker 5: I was brought into Softwriters, I was working as their
- 2:37Speaker 5: primary release manager, so making sure that the stuff that
- 2:39Speaker 5: we work on from a software standpoint, deliverable standpoint goes
- 2:43Speaker 5: out smoothly on time, gets validated correctly, so on and
- 2:47Speaker 5: so forth. And you know, I'm sure Kaywa allude to it.
- 2:51Speaker 4: As well.
- 2:51Speaker 5: There's been a hard shift recently to kind of really
- 2:55Speaker 5: incorporate AI into our product suite, and they brought together
- 2:59Speaker 5: a small group that we call the Alpha Team, and
- 3:02Speaker 5: they invited myself and Kyle and some other folks to
- 3:05Speaker 5: be a part of that. So right now I am
- 3:07Speaker 5: part of that team. I'm still doing some release management work,
- 3:09Speaker 5: but also working exclusively within the realm of how do
- 3:13Speaker 5: we bring AI forefront, how do we get it into
- 3:16Speaker 5: our products, and how does it make sense to our stakeholders,
- 3:19Speaker 5: to our customers and so forth. So that's what I've
- 3:22Speaker 5: been doing now for the last i'd say in full months.
- 3:26Speaker 4: That's that is so cool.
- 3:28Speaker 3: Kyle Nilsen, you're with the Alpha Labs team at Starck
- 3:33Speaker 3: Writers as well. Before we get Kyle to do is introduction,
- 3:37Speaker 3: they got to make you, guys some kind of patch
- 3:40Speaker 3: to put on your jack because you guys are like
- 3:43Speaker 3: a special forces team.
- 3:44Speaker 4: Now, Oh, trust me.
- 3:46Speaker 5: I used AI to create one day one and it
- 3:49Speaker 5: looks like the what is it Star Trek Enterprise kind
- 3:52Speaker 5: of logo?
- 3:54Speaker 3: Your way ahead of mey, Kyle, jare a little bit
- 3:57Speaker 3: of your background as well with our framework folks us listen.
- 4:01Speaker 6: Yes, I've been with Softwriters just about three years now,
- 4:05Speaker 6: started on the pharmacy support team, so I've spent a
- 4:07Speaker 6: lot of time with our customers talking about what they
- 4:10Speaker 6: want to need, what they like and they don't like.
- 4:12Speaker 6: So I've got a pretty good grasp on all that.
- 4:15Speaker 6: And in the last year I've transitioned on the product
- 4:17Speaker 6: management team, spent a lot of time helping get framework Insight,
- 4:21Speaker 6: our new BI solution out the door. And in the
- 4:25Speaker 6: last few months I've been working on the d Alpha
- 4:27Speaker 6: Labs team, and I've been able to bring my background
- 4:30Speaker 6: in kind of restaurant and retail operations into that BI.
- 4:35Speaker 6: I'm kind of realm I'm just for free analytics, and
- 4:38Speaker 6: that's transition into the AI world because the whole point
- 4:42Speaker 6: of this is to make things more efficient for the
- 4:44Speaker 6: pharmacies to drive that bottom line, and I think my
- 4:47Speaker 6: background kind of falls into that that team pretty easily.
- 4:51Speaker 4: All right, but let me wesh.
- 4:53Speaker 3: I guess we'll shift gears real quick back to Rick
- 4:56Speaker 3: just to kick us off.
- 4:57Speaker 4: And that is so we're talking about AI.
- 5:01Speaker 3: We've heard about it in pre authorization, prior authorizations. We've
- 5:06Speaker 3: heard about it in data reporting obviously, in financials I
- 5:10Speaker 3: think it's under it's easier to understand. But what's the
- 5:14Speaker 3: What about the biggest opportunities that you see for artificial
- 5:18Speaker 3: intelligence solving specific issues in the long term care pharmacy sector.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll break it down like this because I like
- 5:26Speaker 5: to speak in plain language too.
- 5:28Speaker 4: I don't want to get overly technical.
- 5:29Speaker 5: But it's all about areas that we can find efficiencies
- 5:33Speaker 5: right where we take it away. AI is really good
- 5:37Speaker 5: at doing things that humans are not good at, repetitive tasks,
- 5:41Speaker 5: deciphering things, going into large data sets and finding patterns
- 5:46Speaker 5: and themes very very quickly. So how can we what
- 5:50Speaker 5: are some of the things in our day to day
- 5:51Speaker 5: operations that we see our pharmacists, our technicians doing that
- 5:54Speaker 5: we can say, oh, this can be expedited by using
- 5:57Speaker 5: an LLLM, by integrating AI, or by introducing some sort
- 6:01Speaker 5: of logic. Those are the biggest, and there's a plethora
- 6:04Speaker 5: of them, so I couldn't pinpoint one or the other.
- 6:06Speaker 5: But there are a ton of opportunities where hey, we're
- 6:09Speaker 5: making sense of messy forms, right, we have multi page
- 6:13Speaker 5: packets that we need to marry up data on. How
- 6:15Speaker 5: can AI kind of go through and look at that
- 6:18Speaker 5: and observe that and give us a readout so that
- 6:20Speaker 5: we're not having to trudge through that spotting patterns like
- 6:25Speaker 5: we talked about a second ago, risks, the being boring,
- 6:28Speaker 5: repetitive clicking tasks that we do for new RX prescriptions.
- 6:34Speaker 4: All those things.
- 6:34Speaker 5: Are things AI or and or the logic that kind
- 6:37Speaker 5: of ours AI is really really good at, takes it
- 6:40Speaker 5: off of our pharmacists plate that we work with, kind
- 6:44Speaker 5: of puts it into the hands of the computer.
- 6:45Speaker 6: Yeah, like just add on to that. At the end
- 6:48Speaker 6: of the day, our pharmacies are asking for it. You know,
- 6:50Speaker 6: we didn't just put a team together and say how
- 6:53Speaker 6: can we get AI into pharmacy. It's it's been a
- 6:56Speaker 6: conversation for years. Really, as soon as AI became prevalent,
- 7:01Speaker 6: our pharmacies have been asking our executives and our product team, Hey,
- 7:04Speaker 6: how can we increase automation, how can we brand the software?
- 7:08Speaker 6: What can we do? And that's what we're doing here.
- 7:12Speaker 6: It really eighty percent of their time has spent on
- 7:15Speaker 6: twenty percent of their work and in a landscape where
- 7:18Speaker 6: margins are shrinking, whether it's manufacturing issues, whether it's the
- 7:23Speaker 6: maximum fair price topic with medicare margins are getting smaller
- 7:28Speaker 6: and they have to manage this as closely as they can.
- 7:30Speaker 6: So if they can make that eighty percent of their
- 7:34Speaker 6: time be forty percent, that's a huge win from them.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Kyle, what about like that day to day work and
- 7:41Speaker 3: how it may improve the actual operations or workflow.
- 7:45Speaker 4: Give us some examples of that day to day impact.
- 7:49Speaker 6: Yeah, so a lot of pharmacies don't have a huge staff.
- 7:55Speaker 6: Some of our pharmacies are large summer smaller. Some of
- 7:58Speaker 6: them rely on entry texts all this order entry. Some
- 8:01Speaker 6: have special teams just for new facility or new customer onboarding.
- 8:05Speaker 6: Some pharmacies have the pharmacists entering orders. So when they
- 8:09Speaker 6: spend that much time doing manual tasks, that's high cost labor.
- 8:14Speaker 6: They could be shifted towards more quality work, not just
- 8:17Speaker 6: hand king orders, but actually making proper recommendations, consulting, and
- 8:23Speaker 6: spending more time on reviewing complex orders and patients instead
- 8:28Speaker 6: of just hand typing in the same one hundred orders
- 8:31Speaker 6: over and over again.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Any concerns Rick when you're thinking about AI, I mean,
- 8:40Speaker 3: I know my concerns as a published a publisher, authenticity,
- 8:44Speaker 3: making sure that when I use AI more for spell.
- 8:48Speaker 4: Checking than anything.
- 8:49Speaker 3: To give you guys some insight to how simplicity I
- 8:53Speaker 3: use AI. But what about the fact and fiction of
- 8:59Speaker 3: it all? Rick, what concerns do you hear from pharmacists
- 9:02Speaker 3: A boudy eye?
- 9:04Speaker 5: The two big ones that I've heard, and these things
- 9:06Speaker 5: actually come from myself too in certain ways.
- 9:08Speaker 4: But are hey, is this going to replace jobs?
- 9:13Speaker 5: Right? Is this just going to be a wholesale We're
- 9:15Speaker 5: going to implement AI, and so we don't need the
- 9:17Speaker 5: human aspect in certain areas, not every area, but in
- 9:20Speaker 5: certain areas like that's a big one. We can dive
- 9:22Speaker 5: into that a bit, and then the other one and
- 9:24Speaker 5: this goes down a little bit more of an intricate trail.
- 9:26Speaker 4: But is how do we secure this? Right?
- 9:29Speaker 5: There's PHI, there's hipoc compliance, there's different things that we
- 9:31Speaker 5: need to be concerned with. So how do we keep
- 9:33Speaker 5: that secure and tight? And what are we doing to
- 9:36Speaker 5: make sure that it's clinical grade? The stuff that we're
- 9:39Speaker 5: implementing 're opposing to implement. So those are the two
- 9:43Speaker 5: big areas we.
- 9:44Speaker 4: Can dive in. Or Kyle, if you want to add
- 9:45Speaker 4: on to that, I'd be happy to.
- 9:48Speaker 6: Yeah, the two words you said there that stand out
- 9:51Speaker 6: to me or clinical grade. Right. So if I'm working
- 9:54Speaker 6: on a side side project, I'm trying to analyze a document,
- 9:58Speaker 6: summarize it. If I get kind of a fuzzy match somewhere,
- 10:01Speaker 6: that's usually okay. If I'm looking at patients and drugs
- 10:07Speaker 6: and allergies, I can't have a fuzzy match, right. I
- 10:11Speaker 6: can't have AI guessing on a drug man or an
- 10:13Speaker 6: allergy if it doesn't know exactly what it is. So
- 10:16Speaker 6: we have to be able to cut through that and
- 10:19Speaker 6: make sure we're speeding things up. But we can be
- 10:22Speaker 6: one hundred percent accurate in what we do.
- 10:25Speaker 3: I think of databases when you're talking, when you're saying this, Kyle,
- 10:30Speaker 3: I'm thinking of medi spin or Walter's Clue or something.
- 10:33Speaker 3: It has massive amounts of data accessibility, but it's very
- 10:38Speaker 3: tedious to have to dial into maybe a specific titration
- 10:43Speaker 3: or a specific instance of medication issue or whatever it is.
- 10:48Speaker 3: And I think, boy, if we could take some kind
- 10:51Speaker 3: of API, some kind of connection, tied it into these
- 10:54Speaker 3: databases that are there's so much information in it, and
- 10:59Speaker 3: then ask us civic question or ask a specific issue
- 11:02Speaker 3: that a patient is experiencing. Now we can resource a
- 11:07Speaker 3: trusted database that does have the evidence based information in
- 11:13Speaker 3: it and then marry that with some of our processes.
- 11:16Speaker 3: Is that to star trek Key right now or is
- 11:20Speaker 3: that kind of like where we're going with all this.
- 11:24Speaker 6: No, that's exactly where we're going, honestly. So one of
- 11:27Speaker 6: our hurdles that we're getting over and we're working through
- 11:31Speaker 6: is drug matching, right, So we use NDCs and gpis
- 11:36Speaker 6: and a doctor might be sending in our ex norms.
- 11:39Speaker 6: So we're pulling in different types of data from Walter's
- 11:42Speaker 6: clewer just so we can kind of dotorize and cross
- 11:45Speaker 6: our teas and make sure that, like you said, we
- 11:47Speaker 6: are being accurate, thorough and using all the resources at
- 11:51Speaker 6: our disposal.
- 11:52Speaker 5: What's cool about that, what Kyle just said, what you
- 11:54Speaker 5: were getting at too, is that because of that, going
- 11:58Speaker 5: back to the question you asked, were omitting jobs, we're
- 12:01Speaker 5: validating data right, and the AI has proposed in many ways,
- 12:07Speaker 5: is becoming more of a helper. It's a supplemental thing, right,
- 12:10Speaker 5: and it's going to make pharmacies, pharmacists and everybody across
- 12:13Speaker 5: the board faster and cleaner and easier to understand things
- 12:17Speaker 5: and decipher things. And make the right decisions and as
- 12:20Speaker 5: we go forward, it'll become better and better and better.
- 12:23Speaker 4: I just wanted to add that in that's excellent, excellent.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Then I want to go back to what Kyle was saying,
- 12:28Speaker 3: because you mentioned there's a balance between innovation, safety, accuracy,
- 12:34Speaker 3: and regulatory requirements.
- 12:36Speaker 4: That's a lot to juggle.
- 12:37Speaker 3: I know that if I'm a long term care pharmacy operator,
- 12:40Speaker 3: I don't really have to want to have to think
- 12:42Speaker 3: about having to double check my pharmacy management software systems.
- 12:46Speaker 3: I'd like that to just kind of be baked into
- 12:50Speaker 3: whatever whatever it is. How to expand upon what you
- 12:53Speaker 3: were saying when it comes to safety and accuracy and
- 12:57Speaker 3: the meat, how it meets the road of.
- 13:02Speaker 6: Yes, the approach we're taking is we kind of get
- 13:05Speaker 6: that temperature right, so we when all of our orders
- 13:08Speaker 6: come in, whether it goes new batch or whether it
- 13:09Speaker 6: gets put back into the queue to be hand entered,
- 13:12Speaker 6: we're able to distinguish through our pipeline if it was
- 13:18Speaker 6: match on automation with no AI, did AI have to
- 13:21Speaker 6: touch something? Okay, If it did, how do we flag
- 13:24Speaker 6: that for the end user to see so they know
- 13:26Speaker 6: they have to double check it or if something I'm
- 13:28Speaker 6: rejected for a specific reason, they're going to know that
- 13:30Speaker 6: as well. So that way, we're taking this in kind
- 13:33Speaker 6: of bite sized chunks. We're not just saying, Okay, let's
- 13:36Speaker 6: flip a switch and turn AI on and now you
- 13:38Speaker 6: have a thousand orders you have to go hope they're accurate.
- 13:41Speaker 6: You know, we're doing this in small chunks just to
- 13:44Speaker 6: make sure that we not only can be as efficient
- 13:48Speaker 6: as we can, but we'll see it in small sample
- 13:50Speaker 6: sizes first and make sure we know kind of where
- 13:53Speaker 6: we stand. Then we can throttle and kind of change
- 13:57Speaker 6: that speed up a little bit, up a little more,
- 13:59Speaker 6: figure out years, we're seeing what the reasons are, manage those,
- 14:04Speaker 6: and just kind of up to that percentage gradually. So
- 14:05Speaker 6: we're not we didn't make a goal to have one
- 14:07Speaker 6: hundred percent automation on day one, you know in our
- 14:10Speaker 6: first test form is because that's just not realistic or safe.
- 14:13Speaker 6: It's hey, let's let's start with five percent. Okay, we
- 14:15Speaker 6: got that, let's go to fifteen percent.
- 14:17Speaker 4: Okay, we got that.
- 14:19Speaker 6: The drug matching is the next big thing we want
- 14:21Speaker 6: to tackle. Okay, let's let's change how we look at
- 14:24Speaker 6: WAL There's CHLORI data and now we can get that
- 14:26Speaker 6: to thirty percent. And that's that's how approaching this and
- 14:29Speaker 6: the safest way we can.
- 14:34Speaker 3: All Right, I want to I guess I should have
- 14:37Speaker 3: asked this in the beginning of the interview, but I
- 14:39Speaker 3: like throwing. I guess throwing things in different directions. It
- 14:42Speaker 3: keeps everybody on your toes. But creation of Alpha Labs this,
- 14:46Speaker 3: like I said, it sounds like a force is a
- 14:49Speaker 3: division of soft writers. Talk to us about that they
- 14:52Speaker 3: recently launched Alpha Labs and what what sparked that whole
- 14:56Speaker 3: initiative and why'd you guys, why'd you guys do what
- 15:00Speaker 3: you're what you're deciding to do.
- 15:02Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll jump in and I'm sure Kyle will have
- 15:05Speaker 5: more to add. But you know, when I was approached
- 15:09Speaker 5: with the topic of Alpha Labs and joining, it's essentially, hey,
- 15:13Speaker 5: there's a lot of stuff that we can do, but
- 15:15Speaker 5: we want to kind of give the time to do
- 15:18Speaker 5: it right. We want to kind of carve out a
- 15:21Speaker 5: place where we can experiment and try and learn and
- 15:24Speaker 5: change things and come up with proof of concepts, you know,
- 15:29Speaker 5: And that is exactly what Alpha Labs is. It's it's
- 15:32Speaker 5: a group of folks that are explicitly focused on what
- 15:35Speaker 5: are we being asked for, what do people need? What
- 15:37Speaker 5: can we try? How can we attempt this? And we
- 15:40Speaker 5: have the space to do that. That's what Alpha Labs is.
- 15:43Speaker 5: That's exactly I think the thought process that kind of
- 15:45Speaker 5: came up with generating Alpha Labs.
- 15:51Speaker 6: Yeah, and we brought in a well rounded team, yeah,
- 15:55Speaker 6: everywhere from the executive level done to myself who came
- 15:59Speaker 6: from and on the product and bi side rix, our
- 16:03Speaker 6: resident AI Whiz, We've got an architect on the team.
- 16:07Speaker 6: So we're looking at it from all different angles. Right,
- 16:10Speaker 6: So we between all of us, we've kind of touched
- 16:13Speaker 6: almost every part of our company in some way, shape
- 16:15Speaker 6: or form, so we're able to bounce ideas off each
- 16:19Speaker 6: other and kind of answer questions that we didn't know
- 16:22Speaker 6: were questions. Right, So I think this idea is great,
- 16:25Speaker 6: and then our architect MND say well that's that's a
- 16:27Speaker 6: little more tricky than the seams, or he might have
- 16:30Speaker 6: an idea and we could say, well, not sure that's what.
- 16:33Speaker 4: The customers want.
- 16:34Speaker 6: So we have a really well randed team that can
- 16:37Speaker 6: look at things from all these different angles that we mean.
- 16:39Speaker 5: To What's cool too, is that just like Kyle said,
- 16:43Speaker 5: is because we have that while we're on a team,
- 16:45Speaker 5: and because we're able to have that time and space
- 16:48Speaker 5: to try things, often find that, you know, we're sitting
- 16:52Speaker 5: in a room, we're talking about the architecture or the
- 16:53Speaker 5: design of something, and there's always.
- 16:55Speaker 4: Somebody said, well what about this, or maybe.
- 16:57Speaker 5: You didn't consider this right, where my expertise does not
- 17:01Speaker 5: lie necessarily with you know, medical terminology, right, so I
- 17:06Speaker 5: don't necessarily think through every facet of something that somebody
- 17:11Speaker 5: like Kyle or some of the other members like Lisa
- 17:13Speaker 5: who's on our team might come up with and suggest, hey,
- 17:16Speaker 5: you should consider that she should try it this way.
- 17:19Speaker 4: So very very true what Kyle said. Totally agrees.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's different challenges that people in that technology
- 17:29Speaker 3: space have.
- 17:32Speaker 4: I like what Kyle agree with you.
- 17:34Speaker 3: You have to take what the client is sharing with
- 17:38Speaker 3: you and sometimes deviate or sometimes pivot what you're designing
- 17:42Speaker 3: and what you're building because of the end user using
- 17:47Speaker 3: it might not make sense where from a programmer's perspective,
- 17:51Speaker 3: you see it one way. If you have that kind
- 17:53Speaker 3: of diversity on the team, so many of you and
- 17:58Speaker 3: Lisa's the OG, she's been you know around forever, you
- 18:01Speaker 3: know programming, the first SEQL database driven pharmacy management system
- 18:07Speaker 3: and long term care was was Framework LTC. What a
- 18:11Speaker 3: It was a mind blower back in the day of
- 18:14Speaker 3: how it was used, you know, how it was extracted.
- 18:16Speaker 3: So that diversity continues and you know, I want to
- 18:21Speaker 3: hear from your team how you think that that empowers
- 18:25Speaker 3: off of Labs to do more for a long term
- 18:29Speaker 3: care pharmacy operator.
- 18:31Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 18:31Speaker 6: So the whole concept of the team kind of like
- 18:34Speaker 6: we said, is to have a space to innovate, right.
- 18:37Speaker 6: So it when we're trying to keep up with kind
- 18:41Speaker 6: of like you mentioned a few minutes ago, all the regulations,
- 18:43Speaker 6: all the all the bugs, all the deadlines that we
- 18:46Speaker 6: have to hit for compliance reasons or you know, just
- 18:49Speaker 6: to keep moving things where they need to where they
- 18:53Speaker 6: need to drive, we can actually take the time to
- 18:55Speaker 6: think up new ideas. Right. So our Framework LTY product
- 19:00Speaker 6: owner is just trying to keep up with the day
- 19:02Speaker 6: to day grind of keeping this massive software SUITEP moving.
- 19:06Speaker 6: And you know how much time does she have on
- 19:07Speaker 6: the data actually dedicate to thinking up and testing and
- 19:12Speaker 6: making pocs for new ideas. It just the time just
- 19:14Speaker 6: isn't there, right, it's it. It's multiple full time jobs
- 19:18Speaker 6: just to keep one product moving. So we're able to
- 19:22Speaker 6: actually take a step back and not focus on what
- 19:27Speaker 6: we need to do the next three months, you know,
- 19:29Speaker 6: to be compliant with controlled substance exporting and all that
- 19:33Speaker 6: kind of stuff. We can actually think what can we
- 19:36Speaker 6: do to make this more efficient? How does AI come
- 19:38Speaker 6: into play? What's automation versus AI? How do we how
- 19:42Speaker 6: do we decipher that and actually think outside the box.
- 19:45Speaker 6: And that's that's our core responsibility.
- 19:51Speaker 4: Rick.
- 19:52Speaker 3: You mentioned about the team giving you that ability to
- 19:56Speaker 3: dedicate more time to innovation because they're able to pull
- 20:00Speaker 3: out the project and see it through and work on
- 20:03Speaker 3: it together.
- 20:04Speaker 4: What does that mean to you, know, giving giving you.
- 20:07Speaker 3: The opportunity and an ability to accomplish innovation in general?
- 20:14Speaker 3: What was it like before you had a team that
- 20:16Speaker 3: was so diverse.
- 20:18Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean a lot of this stuff and even
- 20:20Speaker 5: speaking for me personally, was done on the side.
- 20:23Speaker 4: When you had time.
- 20:24Speaker 5: Right, So you had an idea and it might have
- 20:26Speaker 5: been a very valid, good idea, something that you heard
- 20:29Speaker 5: interfacing with somebody who uses our product, Right, But you're
- 20:33Speaker 5: just trying to carve out the time, like Kyle said,
- 20:37Speaker 5: in the midst of keeping.
- 20:38Speaker 4: The lights on and moving the needle.
- 20:40Speaker 5: And keeping our products up to date and up to snuff,
- 20:43Speaker 5: you're also trying to say, well, how could I incorporate
- 20:46Speaker 5: this or you know, and then you're also doing it
- 20:48Speaker 5: with limited knowledge, like in your own ability. Right Again,
- 20:52Speaker 5: I'm a software engineer at heart.
- 20:55Speaker 4: And I can. I could spin you up an LLM,
- 20:58Speaker 4: train it and code out the wazoo.
- 20:59Speaker 5: But at some point it's like, this isn't exactly our
- 21:03Speaker 5: need right because we don't have the expertise to kind
- 21:06Speaker 5: of direct our focus. So bringing them back into the
- 21:10Speaker 5: offha lab is we have dedicated time to say, what
- 21:13Speaker 5: are the ideas that are out there?
- 21:15Speaker 4: What are we being asked for?
- 21:16Speaker 5: Okay, cool, Now, let's go as a collective and jive
- 21:21Speaker 5: on that. For lack of a better term, let's go
- 21:23Speaker 5: and dive in on one or two high value things
- 21:25Speaker 5: that we think might turn into something. And what's very
- 21:28Speaker 5: neat is we might get down a certain path and
- 21:31Speaker 5: say there is no value here, or we need to
- 21:34Speaker 5: rethink this so that it is valuable, and we could
- 21:36Speaker 5: get into the little details of what those things are.
- 21:39Speaker 5: But what's cool is again, I'm not doing it on
- 21:41Speaker 5: the side, Kyle's not doing it on the side, Lisa's
- 21:43Speaker 5: not doing it on the side. The other folks in
- 21:44Speaker 5: the team, we're not doing on the side. We're working
- 21:46Speaker 5: as a group to come up with and to kind
- 21:49Speaker 5: of suss out a bunch of these ideas and these
- 21:51Speaker 5: asks that we have, figure out how do we make
- 21:54Speaker 5: them appropriately.
- 21:55Speaker 4: To be high value items, and then how do we
- 21:57Speaker 4: get them to our core product.
- 21:59Speaker 5: Before it was happening on the side, I guess the
- 22:01Speaker 5: best way to put it or as time permitted.
- 22:04Speaker 3: So the big the first one out the gate and
- 22:09Speaker 3: shared with me before we started recording it was order
- 22:13Speaker 3: entry and automation around order entry. Let's let's jump into that,
- 22:16Speaker 3: because that's rubber hits the road. Let's talk to us
- 22:19Speaker 3: about that first big implementation of AI into order entry
- 22:25Speaker 3: automation and just in case someone's unfamiliar with that problem, it.
- 22:29Speaker 4: Actually solves Sure.
- 22:32Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean this goes back to what I was saying,
- 22:35Speaker 5: and I'll allow Kyle please to elaborate on this. But
- 22:40Speaker 5: when we talked a moment ago about how AI can
- 22:44Speaker 5: be the assistant, not the replacement for the human kind
- 22:46Speaker 5: of aspect of things.
- 22:49Speaker 4: We looked and we saw.
- 22:50Speaker 5: That you know, right now, as new new our ex
- 22:52Speaker 5: scripts are coming in right from our em rs. We're
- 22:55Speaker 5: having our texts, the people that use their software are
- 22:58Speaker 5: re keying almost one hundred percent of these prescriptions right
- 23:01Speaker 5: directly in the LTC. So it's taking a significant amount
- 23:05Speaker 5: of time. And we said, well, if we can match
- 23:07Speaker 5: these things right, and if we can eliminate some of
- 23:10Speaker 5: the ri keying and the clicking and then going through
- 23:12Speaker 5: the screens by auto populating some of this stuff and
- 23:16Speaker 5: then having it go to them for validation, it would
- 23:19Speaker 5: trim off a significant amount of time, right. And this
- 23:22Speaker 5: is again, like I said, this is the part where
- 23:24Speaker 5: it's like, Okay, we're not replacing people, but we're allowing
- 23:27Speaker 5: them to do other stuff while the AI piece is
- 23:30Speaker 5: taking care of some of the more mundane things where
- 23:33Speaker 5: it's just I've got to go look in two three
- 23:35Speaker 5: different areas to populate this.
- 23:37Speaker 4: Why do you have to do that.
- 23:38Speaker 5: Let's have the computer do that, Kyle, Do you have
- 23:42Speaker 5: anything else you want to add on that?
- 23:44Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 23:44Speaker 6: So, for for a lot of years and now we've
- 23:46Speaker 6: been able to take refills and reorders from facilities and
- 23:51Speaker 6: EMRs and put them straight into batches with minimal human intervention. Right,
- 23:56Speaker 6: that's how can we increase automation and reduce the clicks.
- 24:00Speaker 6: That's the whole point of this. This is the first
- 24:03Speaker 6: leap we've taken into doing that with new orders. So
- 24:06Speaker 6: we spend a lot of time a collecting data from
- 24:10Speaker 6: a few test pharmacies. What are the orders coming in,
- 24:13Speaker 6: what are the data that we are getting, and what
- 24:15Speaker 6: do we have to work with First, then we spend
- 24:18Speaker 6: a lot of time just watching users enter orders, click
- 24:21Speaker 6: for a click, counting the clicks, seeing how many minutes
- 24:27Speaker 6: they spend per order, everything from choosing the drug into
- 24:33Speaker 6: retyping the directions that come in on the message. But
- 24:35Speaker 6: they have to hand type anyway, or they come in
- 24:38Speaker 6: and doctor's language and they have to take that language
- 24:41Speaker 6: and re key it with our own shorthand sig. So
- 24:46Speaker 6: then we're answering the question how can we take that
- 24:48Speaker 6: work and automate it? And that's what this project is
- 24:52Speaker 6: is taking those those drugs, those directions and trying to
- 24:56Speaker 6: get it straight into a batch, so it skips that
- 24:59Speaker 6: time seeming order and train goes straight to a pharmacist
- 25:02Speaker 6: for review.
- 25:05Speaker 3: What's the customers saying, what are your framework LTC users?
- 25:09Speaker 4: What are they saying about? This sounds great.
- 25:12Speaker 6: They want Yeah, this is what they've been asking for it, right,
- 25:16Speaker 6: So between eRx messages coming in and new new facility
- 25:23Speaker 6: onboarding where they have to hand key one hundred patients
- 25:26Speaker 6: and you know, ten or fifteen orders per patient, this
- 25:29Speaker 6: is what Rick was talking about earlier when it was
- 25:32Speaker 6: those literally hundreds of mundane steps that you're just doing
- 25:37Speaker 6: as fast as you can. That's when you have human error.
- 25:39Speaker 6: That's when you have burnout. And this is what we're
- 25:42Speaker 6: trying to solve. And it's not just really trying to
- 25:45Speaker 6: cut their labor right and make their jobs faster. It's
- 25:48Speaker 6: also trying to take the cap off of their growth.
- 25:51Speaker 4: Right.
- 25:52Speaker 6: Some of our pharmacies are trying to onboard five, ten,
- 25:55Speaker 6: fifteen new new nursing homes in a month, and they
- 25:59Speaker 6: don't have the staff to do it. So they have
- 26:02Speaker 6: to throttle their growth because they can't staff the team
- 26:05Speaker 6: to hand enter the stuff. So not only are we
- 26:08Speaker 6: trying to make this more efficient for the staff they
- 26:10Speaker 6: do have, we're also trying to help them build their
- 26:13Speaker 6: business faster.
- 26:14Speaker 5: Yeah, and one other thing I'll mentioned too, because it
- 26:17Speaker 5: goes back to one of the I'm not sure who
- 26:19Speaker 5: said it at the beginning of the call, but you
- 26:22Speaker 5: know it's reducing the potential for error too.
- 26:26Speaker 4: Write.
- 26:26Speaker 5: This is an area where AI is a lot more
- 26:29Speaker 5: efficient parsing through data, like Kyle alluded to, than just
- 26:34Speaker 5: a human. Right when you're whizzing through things, you might
- 26:36Speaker 5: have a cadence down or a practice down that you're
- 26:38Speaker 5: used to, but you know you're not actually maybe looking
- 26:41Speaker 5: at everything verbatim. A I can do that, A I
- 26:44Speaker 5: can parse it. It's trained. Its clinical great, like we said,
- 26:47Speaker 5: So it helps a lot too.
- 26:52Speaker 3: All right, so we're excited to hear about the order
- 26:56Speaker 3: entry or all over that seem to have it nailed
- 26:58Speaker 3: down clients.
- 27:00Speaker 4: And make it customers like it.
- 27:01Speaker 3: Let's talk about what's next and where it's on the
- 27:04Speaker 3: eve of twenty twenty six, so it's always fun to talk.
- 27:07Speaker 4: About what's coming up in the new years.
- 27:10Speaker 3: So what other areas of framework l TC in this
- 27:13Speaker 3: workflow do you see up next for AI?
- 27:18Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll kick it off and then I'll letter it again.
- 27:21Speaker 5: But you know, I think the biggest thing is not
- 27:24Speaker 5: how do we automate one or two specific tasks or
- 27:27Speaker 5: set a task, but how do we start to kind
- 27:30Speaker 5: of get things in an operational flow from end to end, right,
- 27:34Speaker 5: And so you have to take that one at a time,
- 27:37Speaker 5: But we want to start putting those puzzle pieces together
- 27:40Speaker 5: to say, hey, initially, what are we doing up front?
- 27:43Speaker 5: What are the first couple of things that we have
- 27:45Speaker 5: to do? And you know, one of the things that
- 27:47Speaker 5: we're looking about is onboarding pharmacies. How do we go
- 27:50Speaker 5: about that process?
- 27:51Speaker 4: Right?
- 27:51Speaker 5: That's one of the initial things in a workflow that
- 27:54Speaker 5: we would go through from our software standpoint, So we
- 27:56Speaker 5: want to start to build that out holistically going into
- 27:59Speaker 5: twenty six and beyond. Where are the areas that are
- 28:03Speaker 5: our customers and the people to use our software as
- 28:05Speaker 5: well as ourselves? Say, these are pain points and we
- 28:08Speaker 5: can start to automate this flow on every little step.
- 28:10Speaker 5: But we can start to automate the flow and make
- 28:12Speaker 5: it a lot easier more efficient. Ktty, why don't you
- 28:15Speaker 5: want to jump in a little bit what we've been
- 28:16Speaker 5: working on with the.
- 28:19Speaker 4: Onboard Yeah, So we broke.
- 28:22Speaker 6: This down into two chunks really, So the first part
- 28:26Speaker 6: is where does the data come from?
- 28:28Speaker 4: And how do we handle it?
- 28:29Speaker 5: Right?
- 28:29Speaker 6: So and that depends on the pharmacy, and that depends
- 28:32Speaker 6: on the facility and what EMAAR vendor they use. You know,
- 28:36Speaker 6: PCC for example, makes it easy. They blast everything through
- 28:39Speaker 6: HL seven. It's accurate. You can basically flip a switch
- 28:42Speaker 6: and within a day you're live. Right, There's some groundwork
- 28:45Speaker 6: that has to be put into place, but it's it's
- 28:47Speaker 6: pretty quick and painless. But the rest of the vendors
- 28:50Speaker 6: out there aren't that aren't that efficient or that simple.
- 28:53Speaker 6: Either they have a mechanism to impoort data, but there's
- 28:57Speaker 6: gaps and they have to go back and fix it anyway,
- 29:00Speaker 6: or there is no mechanism and they just have to
- 29:01Speaker 6: print PDF forms for you know, like I said, one
- 29:05Speaker 6: hundred patients or more. I've heard as high as eight
- 29:08Speaker 6: hundred in some areas, and they have to hand key
- 29:13Speaker 6: all that stuff. So how do we take in that data?
- 29:16Speaker 6: Sometimes it's structured, sometimes as not. So we're building out
- 29:19Speaker 6: systems to take everything from DSV files with just kind
- 29:23Speaker 6: of thousands of rows of orders down to just scanning
- 29:27Speaker 6: in PDFs that were printed and handed to the pharmacy
- 29:30Speaker 6: because that's how they get the data. Sometimes, So there's
- 29:34Speaker 6: varying degrees of AI that's needed in that process. We're
- 29:37Speaker 6: trying to kind of stomach that. You know, what does
- 29:40Speaker 6: it cost us, how accurate is it, how quick is it?
- 29:44Speaker 6: All those things that that's what we're here to evaluate
- 29:48Speaker 6: and then make recommendation to the core teams on what's
- 29:51Speaker 6: implement And then the other side is the more I want.
- 29:55Speaker 6: It's easy, but we already have most of the endpoints
- 29:59Speaker 6: for this kind of work, so we know the format
- 30:01Speaker 6: that we need to take a big JSON dump and
- 30:04Speaker 6: get it into framework LTYC. What we're doing is how
- 30:07Speaker 6: do we get it from end end right? How do
- 30:09Speaker 6: we take a CSV file? How do we take a
- 30:11Speaker 6: PDF and just zap straight into into LTC for a
- 30:16Speaker 6: new facility onboarding And that's what we're working on now
- 30:19Speaker 6: and then in the future we're still mapping that out,
- 30:23Speaker 6: but there's a lot of ideas from a lot of
- 30:25Speaker 6: pharmacies out there. Inventory management could be a topic that
- 30:28Speaker 6: comes up for us in the near future new pharmacy onboarding,
- 30:33Speaker 6: whether it's converting data from other pharmacy systems or just
- 30:39Speaker 6: the whole onboarding process of setting up our pretty complex
- 30:42Speaker 6: web of facility and system options and how do we
- 30:46Speaker 6: make that process faster, so we're looking at a bunch
- 30:48Speaker 6: of different things.
- 30:52Speaker 3: Earlier, you commented Kyle on keeping the client in check
- 31:00Speaker 3: and keeping them a part of the roadmap of what
- 31:04Speaker 3: you're doing with Framework LTC. And you also were the
- 31:08Speaker 3: very first organization to put together a bunch of long
- 31:12Speaker 3: term care pharmacy operators in a think tank. I think
- 31:15Speaker 3: this might have been eighteen months maybe two years ago
- 31:19Speaker 3: where you can't got everybody together in Pittsburgh and it
- 31:22Speaker 3: was an AI forum per se. It was awesome, so
- 31:26Speaker 3: I actually we were there.
- 31:28Speaker 4: I loved that. It was fun. So talk to us
- 31:30Speaker 4: about what's the how.
- 31:32Speaker 3: Does framework users how do they help to shape the
- 31:36Speaker 3: AI roadmap of what you guys are planning to do?
- 31:40Speaker 6: Well, I mean, they're the essential driving force for what
- 31:45Speaker 6: we're choosing to undertake here, so we could kind of
- 31:48Speaker 6: to Rick's point, not all of us have the background
- 31:52Speaker 6: having worked in pharmacies for our adult lives, right like
- 31:55Speaker 6: I have. I've been here for a couple of years,
- 31:57Speaker 6: Rick's been here for a year, Lisa's been around for
- 32:01Speaker 6: decades quite literally, so like we have varying degrees of experience.
- 32:05Speaker 6: But even that being said, none of us actually work
- 32:09Speaker 6: in pharmacies. Right, we work for softwriters. We're working on
- 32:11Speaker 6: the software. We're not in the pharmacy doing the day
- 32:15Speaker 6: to day grinds. So those are the people that need
- 32:17Speaker 6: to tell us what the pain points are, what they
- 32:20Speaker 6: want to automate, and in what they don't. Otherwise we
- 32:24Speaker 6: just kind of be guessing, you know best, in our experience,
- 32:26Speaker 6: and frankly, we need them to tell us what to do,
- 32:30Speaker 6: and it's it's our jobs to take that feedback and bring.
- 32:33Speaker 4: It to life. And what's cool about that is now
- 32:36Speaker 4: with Alpha Labs, right, we have a place that that
- 32:39Speaker 4: stuff goes to directly. Right, It's not.
- 32:43Speaker 5: Going into a larger hoppa where it's a core product
- 32:45Speaker 5: improvement that hey this needs fixed, right where we need
- 32:47Speaker 5: to address the speed at which this operates. This this
- 32:50Speaker 5: new creative stuff that folks are asking for that Kyle mentioned,
- 32:54Speaker 5: and they say, hey, I want to automate this, I
- 32:55Speaker 5: want to fix this field, I want to I want
- 32:58Speaker 5: to go in and see if this can be expedited
- 33:01Speaker 5: in some certain way. Right, all that stuff goes into
- 33:04Speaker 5: the hopper for the Alpha team. This is all stuff
- 33:06Speaker 5: we're prioritizing and looking through and communicating back with people saying,
- 33:10Speaker 5: you know, we're looking at this, we're working on this,
- 33:11Speaker 5: and it's you know, we're going to figure out the
- 33:13Speaker 5: best way to approach this and then have people engage
- 33:16Speaker 5: with us as we as we produce it, put it
- 33:18Speaker 5: out onto pocs, have it tested, and eventually incorporate.
- 33:22Speaker 4: Into the core product.
- 33:26Speaker 3: All right, what about kind of like from your perspective,
- 33:31Speaker 3: and it's the margence of what's possible to what you
- 33:37Speaker 3: see the client, the framework, user, their input and all
- 33:41Speaker 3: of a sudden you release it. That must be really
- 33:44Speaker 3: be exciting to you because you see something actually making
- 33:46Speaker 3: an impact. It's impacting people's lives, it's impacting your operations.
- 33:50Speaker 3: Most importantly, it's impacting the patients they are being served
- 33:54Speaker 3: at these facilities. So talk to us that about personally
- 33:58Speaker 3: in the future at soft Writers and AI.
- 34:01Speaker 4: What what what excites you?
- 34:02Speaker 3: What's coming up that you can even sprinkle in some
- 34:06Speaker 3: secrets as long as Scott Baty doesn't get mad at
- 34:09Speaker 3: us all for the secrets.
- 34:12Speaker 4: Tell you any secrets. But I.
- 34:15Speaker 5: H know, I get excited about a lot of different things.
- 34:18Speaker 5: Kyle will attests to that, and sometimes I go off
- 34:20Speaker 5: onto all kinds of weird tangents.
- 34:22Speaker 4: You know, AI excites me just in general.
- 34:24Speaker 5: I think what's cool is what's cool, I'll put it
- 34:27Speaker 5: this way, is that everybody has the ability to start
- 34:30Speaker 5: to design things, even kind of like indie developers, maybe
- 34:34Speaker 5: not even affiliate I'm talking more generally, not just as
- 34:36Speaker 5: soft writers, but everybody has the ability now to do
- 34:39Speaker 5: things and create things a lot quicker, leveraging AI for
- 34:43Speaker 5: design tools and coding and so on and so forth.
- 34:47Speaker 4: And that's really great.
- 34:49Speaker 5: And there will be a lot of cool innovations that
- 34:51Speaker 5: come out of it in the coming years as things mature.
- 34:54Speaker 5: But what's cool about softwriters, and what I think excites
- 34:57Speaker 5: me the most is that that term we keep you
- 35:00Speaker 5: using is its clinical grade. And you know, some of
- 35:03Speaker 5: the auto population of fields, the reduction of clicks, the
- 35:07Speaker 5: way that we automate processes, the ocr that we're using
- 35:10Speaker 5: for some of the onboarding stuff that we talked about,
- 35:13Speaker 5: that's all been hardened and validated and scoped, and we
- 35:18Speaker 5: are going through and making sure that there's actual value
- 35:21Speaker 5: being provided to our customers and also ultimately the patients.
- 35:24Speaker 5: Right Like you mentioned, that's what excites me the most
- 35:27Speaker 5: is that there's going to be a wave of development,
- 35:29Speaker 5: new things coming along. But I would also encourage people
- 35:32Speaker 5: to understand it. Look at softwriters, look to us for
- 35:37Speaker 5: very very quality, hardened, clinical grade stuff, and you're going
- 35:41Speaker 5: to see a lot of innovation coming out. I guarantee
- 35:43Speaker 5: you with the twenty twenty six twenty twenty seven time frame,
- 35:46Speaker 5: it's going to be great.
- 35:51Speaker 3: All right, Kyle, We're going to be wrapping up. So
- 35:53Speaker 3: you get the last kind of question here, and that is,
- 35:57Speaker 3: you know, we think of our long term care pharmacy
- 36:00Speaker 3: leaders out there, the ones that are like.
- 36:03Speaker 4: The super users.
- 36:04Speaker 3: You think of the clients that are really making impacts
- 36:07Speaker 3: in their community because of the services that they're assuring
- 36:11Speaker 3: that public health is taken seriously.
- 36:14Speaker 4: It's their life, it's what they deliver.
- 36:16Speaker 3: But there's lots of people that are like, I'm not
- 36:19Speaker 3: exactly sure where to begin with them. You'll hear tons
- 36:22Speaker 3: of your users probably say things like I'm old school,
- 36:25Speaker 3: like I'm going to do it this way, I'm going
- 36:26Speaker 3: to do it this way, But in their minds, they
- 36:28Speaker 3: are thinking the same way. AI is preparing them to
- 36:32Speaker 3: be able to leap frog, or instead of doing one thing,
- 36:35Speaker 3: they're going to be able to do four things. But
- 36:37Speaker 3: it's hard to get your mind around that sometimes. So
- 36:40Speaker 3: what's one practical tip you can give long term care
- 36:43Speaker 3: pharmacy operators who want to adopt AI but they're just
- 36:46Speaker 3: not sure exactly where to begin.
- 36:49Speaker 6: I think a lot of people when they think of
- 36:52Speaker 6: what is AI, they think Chad GBT. Right, So they're saying, well,
- 36:56Speaker 6: what's this going to do for me?
- 36:57Speaker 5: Right?
- 36:58Speaker 6: I still got to put in these orders? Can just
- 37:00Speaker 6: tell Jock GBT to discharge patients for me? Right? So, Like,
- 37:04Speaker 6: I don't think they understand at a broad level what
- 37:09Speaker 6: we can do behind the scenes and under the hood,
- 37:12Speaker 6: and that's where we come to play it to do
- 37:14Speaker 6: that for them, right. So one of the things that's
- 37:17Speaker 6: most exciting to me about this is with my operational background, right,
- 37:22Speaker 6: my brain automatically goes to what tangible difference does this make?
- 37:26Speaker 4: Like why are we doing this? Right?
- 37:27Speaker 6: So if we can tell a pharmacy hey, we're gonna
- 37:31Speaker 6: create a tool that's going to turn eighty hours of
- 37:33Speaker 6: work into twenty five, it's tangible, it's black and white,
- 37:38Speaker 6: it's it's something we're doing for them, right. And it's
- 37:41Speaker 6: the part that it excites me the most too, is
- 37:43Speaker 6: that both soft writers and our pharmacies, and nobody's asking
- 37:49Speaker 6: for this is a way to cut jobs or shrink
- 37:52Speaker 6: their labor force. Right. That's what most people are probably
- 37:55Speaker 6: the most worried about, right because they'll look, Meta, just
- 37:58Speaker 6: cut ten thousand jobs, right, ask for all of us.
- 38:01Speaker 6: That's what people think. But that's not the case on
- 38:05Speaker 6: our side, or at least any of the customers we've
- 38:07Speaker 6: talked to. Right, we're trying to unlock the door for
- 38:10Speaker 6: pharmacies and take in more business. We're not trying to
- 38:13Speaker 6: shrink their staff. We're trying to increase their output. And
- 38:17Speaker 6: then same thing with software is right, I mean, I
- 38:19Speaker 6: don't want to give you any secrets, like you said,
- 38:21Speaker 6: makes got be mad, But we have a big enough
- 38:24Speaker 6: backlog of things we need to do with our software
- 38:28Speaker 6: right in framework LGC and across our whole suite where
- 38:32Speaker 6: it's going to take us a long time to catch up, right,
- 38:34Speaker 6: So we're not going to replace any jobs anytime soon.
- 38:37Speaker 6: And I learned that pretty quickly. But if this can,
- 38:40Speaker 6: if this can come into play and help us create
- 38:43Speaker 6: new solutions that have a tangible impact and then unlock
- 38:48Speaker 6: the you know, the capability for us to put out
- 38:52Speaker 6: five new features instead of three. That's the goal, right,
- 38:55Speaker 6: It's just going to accelerate our products and separate us
- 38:59Speaker 6: from competitors. It's not replacing anybody, and that's that's been
- 39:03Speaker 6: the most refreshing part for me through all this.
- 39:08Speaker 4: I love this.
- 39:09Speaker 3: Thank you so much both of you for sharing today.
