In the past few weeks, I've seen a million articles about Amazon building a crack team to overthrow the health care industry. Most of the focus has been on telehealth, electronic health records (EHRs) and prescription drugs.

Coincidentally, we just hired an Amazon leader as our Chief Strategy Officer. Her name is Tonia Degner, and we've known each other for more than 15 years. She's consulted with us since we first launched our company, so while most of her background has been in retail, she also has some knowledge about the health care industry. She's a great thinker and strategist who sees opportunity before others do — or where many others wouldn't. She has a different take on how Amazon and other non-health care companies look at health care.

All the Amazon hoopla made us all a little suspicious, since Alexa is listening in on all our conversations! However, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. I sat down with Tonia to get her insight on the recent announcements from Amazon.
