No Clinical Change? Keep Walking!

Written By Natalie Freels PA-C

If your tech doesn’t change clinical management, keep walking 🚶‍♀️

No seriously.

If your innovation doesn’t have a clear pathway for how it will directly affect cost, outcomes, or clinical decision making

It’s just noise.

If you don’t truly understand how it’s going to fit into current standard of care or disrupt current standard of care but in a clinically accepted, evidence-backed way,

You are not asking the right questions.

And for that matter - don’t ask your college buddies to validate your ideas.

Get input from people in the trenches.
Two thumbs up for founders that get this.
