1st Answer Example
"We often discuss the concept of paying for performance in my current company. In my current role, I recommended a different data point to analyze, track, and measure to help us understand our patients better and then see if the coverage levels could be influenced to create different plans for the next calendar year. We are still at the beginning stages, but my leader was elated that I thought of this ."

2nd Answer Example
"Patients like apps because all of their information is at their fingertips. However, I have the app and noticed there wasn't an easy way to get to the provider website from the claim. Many of the questions people have aren't on the health plan side but are for their provider. I spoke to the IT team about this, and including some quick links was a simple add. We have seen higher ratings for our app since implementing this."
