With Evolve launching in 2023, Dickinson has fresh insights on topics crucial to the industry today including value-based care, data visibility and more. Read on for a glimpse at his insightful interview with Senior Housing News<\/a> (SHN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn from Changemaker Justin Dickinson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHN:<\/em><\/strong> Do you see yourself as a Changemaker? Are you always excited to drive change?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickinson:<\/em><\/strong> Definitely. I think that the industry, depending on who you have spoken with or what your opinion is, was really founded in the early to mid-90s in terms of private pay, AL, and memory care. Over the course of time, the industry has shifted from more of a hospitality model to more of an acuity-driven model. As that shift has happened, there\u2019s been a lot of change as it relates to data, technology, the operations, and the investment structure. I think that that change will continue to happen in what the future looks like in terms of hospitality or the acuity model is to be determined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that is going to be more of a care-driven model. From my perspective, being a new operator, and a younger individual in the sector, I do view myself as a change agent, having the ability to look at some of these problems with a fresh set of eyes and with fresh perspective. I think it\u2019ll be interesting as regulatory pressures persist and the model changes to continue to look at things through a new lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHN:<\/em><\/strong> Given where you think it needs to go, do you think that the industry is changing fast enough to keep up with the times?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickinson:<\/em><\/strong> <\/strong>Change is happening faster now than it ever has. This change is being driven by some of the regulatory pressures I mentioned and external capital market pressures. You\u2019re seeing consolidation abound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went through the change curve that we saw on the data side through the \u201990s and early 2000s. 2005 through late 2020 was the advent of the [Software as a Service] model. SaaS companies came about within our space and started to really make a move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think now we\u2019re starting to see AI make a big play, and I\u2019ll layer that onto the SaaS model. The change curve on the data size is reaching a new era, which will further expedite change. Change is happening quickly, and stakeholders need to be prepared for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHN:<\/em><\/strong> Choose one artist, scientist, thinker, engineer, entrepreneur, or other person living or dead to help change the senior living industry for the better. In only a few words, who are you choosing and why are you choosing them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dickinson:<\/em><\/strong> Steve Jobs, because he\u2019s a revolutionary thinker and he helped to reimagine his sector. We can use that type of insight in ours from a technological perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
