And the hard part is, as a provider in palliative care, I actually have very little say of which hospice the individuals we consult to go to. As somebody who has been part of literally more non-profits than I can remember, non-profit governance structures is a pain in the ass. It feels somewhat random in some ways. Eric: Okay.

You know, we found that 64% of the people we cared for never went to the hospital or ER. I love it and, but I just wondering as I’m doing inpatient consults or people are doing outpatient care or you’re caring for people and you don’t have this program, let’s say you can advocate for. Alex 40:07 Thank you.

Alex: Yeah, we talk a lot about de-skilling in geriatrics and palliative care, because so much of what we do is a consultant role. I think a lot of back office function, predicting ER loads and OR loads to do better scheduling of staff. And then, this little mini consultant. Similar things will happen with AI, without question.
