    The Company is committed to a program called Invigorate which is designed to reduce its cost structure and improve performance. Invigorate consists of several flagship programs, with structured plans in each, to drive savings and improve performance across the customer value chain. These flagship programs include: organization excellence; information technology excellence; procurement excellence; field and customer service excellence; lab excellence; and revenue services excellence. In addition to these programs, the Company identified key themes to change how it operates including reducing denials and patient price concessions; further digitizing the business; standardization; automation; optimization and selecting and retaining talent. The Invigorate program is intended to offset reimbursement pressures and labor and benefit cost increases; free up additional resources to invest in innovation and other growth initiatives; and enable the Company to improve service quality and operating profitability.
