So physician pay is a complex topic related to cost of education and artificially restricted supply, but pay itself is not as big a driver of healthcare costs as people imagine it to be. Estimates I’ve seen put it at around 10% of healthcar

It has been a while since I looked into it, but don’t both app stores have provisions for offering private apps available only to people within an organization? Still seems like kind of a pain to maintain release parity, but not out of the
