The issue many have had in the past is proving that value to others, whether it be potential partners or even seniors’ families. To change that, companies have begun to invest considerable money and resources into extracting data from the work they do. The latest example is BrightStar Care, which found through an analysis that it was saving “up to” $29,902 in total cost of care on a per-patient basis.
