interesting report on the state of provider SaaS (2022): • providers are spending more on SaaS • priorities: RCM, security/privacy, patient intake, EHRs • new products from existing platforms (esp EHRs) prioritized over net new vendors • Epic is absolutely crushing it

the dizzying pace of advancement of AI in healthcare + life sciences is a reminder that most technical moats are fleeting. in healthcare, distribution is a long-term durable moat in life sciences, making new medicines efficiently + safely matters most (not what widget you used)
