We invested in the technology to make our existing staff as efficient as possible, and that's continued to be a theme through all of our implementation. With single path, we did very much the same thing. Instead of having two different coders re-review the entire record, it's one coder doing both, and we were really able to see that labor savings. It felt very innovative and exciting, which is always helpful when you're pushing people through that change. We've been able to save many, many FTEs in that space. We've been able to improve our time to bill. We actually also have used the technology to look at the quality of our documentation as it relates to reimbursement and even into the quality scoring. We're very much in a similar place with our CDI teams that there aren't enough of them in the market at the moment, and so we really need to leverage the technology to make sure that we're using the really valuable human resources we have, the people resources, that we're really using their talent the best way that we can versus some of the easier stuff or I don't know that it's all easy, but some of the stuff that the computer can do and then really using those human resources to be able to do the hard stuff.
