Noteworthy Quotes from Bickmore

“It is the foundations of data that are more important than the products on top; healthcare changes, and a strong foundation allows products to adapt and respond to market changes.”
“If you cannot compare and combine sources of data, you can’t build a strong foundation for high-quality products.”
“Products must be patient centric­­—without the patient, you have no industry.”
“Understanding the business side of healthcare keeps doors open, which is very patient-centric, because patients need access to good healthcare.”
