HEALTH CONNECT AMERICA as much as possible because we want to focus on what we ’ re really good at : mental and behavioural health .
“ There are a lot of great products out there . The only time we ’ re going to end up building is when there is not an off-theshelf product on the market that directly fulfils our needs , and that ’ s going to be few and far between .”
All this means Health Connect America can concentrate on people and improving its clients ’ lives – rather than , in Shirk ’ s words , reinventing the wheel when it ’ s already been created .
Scaling at pace As its revenue continues to grow , technology has enabled rapid scaling of Health Connect America over the past couple of years .
“ We ’ re starting to automate a lot of manual processes , freeing up people ’ s time to work on their day-to-day jobs ”
