Video Transcription
I want to take a few minutes to wrap up and express our appreciation for those who attended and just summarize some highlights from today. We started early. If you didn't have a chance to get in there, Camille Bonta, our representative, presented opportunities for engagement and advocacy. This was juxtaposed against the landscape of the recent pandemic and observing increased employment by physicians. We talked about surprise billing and we talked about how we're engaged in helping decrease the burden of prior authorization on quality of care for our patients. So advocacy when you can. We then had an opportunity to talk about both emotional intelligence and artificial intelligence and how these improve the patient experience and the practice experience, respectively. Latha? We have had such amazing sessions in terms of morning mini-series, SETS talk, and this afternoon, late afternoon, two completely different topics. In terms of the technology with artificial intelligence, it's here to stay and we have to get comfortable with how we use it and incorporate it. We probably are already using it and we just have to bring it to the next level to help with our patients and outcomes. Social media, same, it's here to stay and I think it's time for us to get comfortable. One of the points that Austin made was that we have to pick one platform and stay active on it and not pick a platform and not be dormant because that actually sends the negative message. Talks this morning from Joe, Dave, and I'm sorry, from quite a few have been really informative in terms of the changing platforms and what we have to use. This afternoon, we spoke about private equity, changing business models in GI and probably other specialties as well, but especially GI, and the models in terms of remaining ourselves versus consolidating versus what do we have to do to actually remain relevant to ourselves. There was a lot said during those meetings. I'm hoping that we can actually share some of the points made because I will not be able to consolidate everything into a few points. Colleen, I don't know if you have anything else to add. One last thing I wanted to add and emphasize is that I think it's important that we incorporate the diversity aspect in every aspect of what we do. The fact that there are two women panelists or co-directors of this program says a lot and I really thank and appreciate Doug Rex and ASG leadership, along with Bruce, of course, who's sort of sandwiched between the two of us, that was the co-director. And I want to emphasize on many of the aspects, the points that Amrita made, and I'm hoping that we can bring it to a more educated, incorporated process with everything we do in our practices. So, I will add to that and finalize that I think Klaus gave us a high-level perspective on being optimistic despite the constant challenges that we face. I think this specialty, physicians in general, are an enduring species. I've always said what we do is fun and that's what keeps us in the game. We got to talk about collaboration and networking and I think that is a good way to end a great day learning from some of the experts in our discipline. Thank you all for your participation. I do realize there are two questions that were left unanswered and I want to let the attendee know that we will get to those and answer those offline. So, thank you all. We enjoyed it very much. It was a privilege. Thank you very much. Have a good night.
