HEALTHCARE ALERT: REGULATIONS
REGULATIONS PARADOX: EMRS & VCS
REGULATIONS SUMMARY
1. Build what customer wants 2. Sell it 3. Find the right lawyer 4. Be creative and invest minimum resources to navigate or
satisfy regulations
1. CUSTOMER DISCOVERY
No data = no knowledge Not enough data = no knowledge
~$300/hr to run 3 person product team ~$900/hr to run 10 person startup
Sounds like common sense? Seen only few companies do it well
1. CUSTOMER DISCOVERY
