Quant

There’s a new word in the vocabulary,

Known inside the health care constabulary.

That word goes by the shorthand name of ‘“quants,”

It’s familiar to all data savants

“Quants” are above all else numbers nerds,

who believe you can’t measure things in words.

Quants think of themselves as value visionaries,

as evidence-based, leverage-lifting emissaries.

Among those versed in computers,

they are the only square shooters.

To quants anything vaguely mathematical

Beats anything verbal or alphabetical.
