Doing it our way now: the approach this company pioneered is becoming the market's way
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2017 call → NOWe need answer YES/NO based on transcript. Need determine if management describes that their way is being adopted/copied by others. Search transcript for evidence. Management discusses growth, innovation, but need specific "others following" validation. They mention "healthcare transformation alliance relationship is off to an excellent start with 10 companies selecting OptumRx" - that's customers selecting, not copying. They mention "market interest" for Rally, "several renowned hospitals are now using Rally" - adoption of their product, not imitation. They mention "PreCheck MyScript" being used. But question is about others adopting company's way/method. Need see if management says competitors or market moving toward their approach. They talk about "value-based care" but not that others copying. They mention "Nexus ACO products" but not others copying. They mention "we continue to advocate strongly for health insurance tax" not relevant. They mention "we expect opportunities for growth in these markets to advance as we have in past" - not copying. They mention "we are supportive of expanding choice" etc. No clear statement that others are following their lead. They say "we are optimistic about current progress" but no imitation. They mention "we were built over 20 years but only beginning" no. They mention "we are not quite midway through establishment" no. Need answer NO.
