TITLE: Healthcare From Best Buy??

Here's an article no one needs to read, but I'll link to it below in case anyone wishes to relish and dwell in the absurdity.

So, YES, *Best Buy* -- the company that just finished all but going out of business and closing hundreds of stores nationwide -- now is using
their "expertise" to provide you with healthcare. That's right, why not buy healthcare from the sales people who use to sell you TVs and cordless phones at your local mall?

As my wife quipped -- "instead of Geek Squad, its now Doc Squad".

The entirety of the article is just full of meaningless phrases so I'll save you the trouble of clicking through by listing a few choice quotes:

"During a keynote address Wednesday morning at HIMSS23, executives at
these so-called 'disrupters' shared their vision for the future of care
delivery." (That's what we need -- tech company disruption... This was their KEYNOTE address!...)

"All three agreed that the current healthcare system is broken. 'We’re not thinking enough like a system,' Barry said." (?...)

"U.S. healthcare is 'a collection of solutions,' Walsh echoed. In its current siloed, fragmented state, it will continue to fail patients. What’s needed instead is a holistic, collaborative approach to care."
(?? -- Yeah, when I think of the term holistic, big tech is immediately what comes to my mind...)

"Best Buy Health works with providers like Atrium Health to power home care. 'We’re bringing what we’ve done in computer electronics for years
into health,' DiSanzo said." (??? -- LOL!)

"Tech companies must listen to providers when serving them, DiSanzo said. To build trust and buy-in, they must offer visibility into their methods. For instance, providers want to know where given data come
from, what algorithm is being employed to train a device and who is training the model in order to feel good about letting it work for them." (???? -- So the people who could not sell me a computer or refrigerator are developing AI systems to improve my healthcare...)

*Best Buy Health, VillageMD execs see collaboration as critical to future of healthcare*
