Medicine Meets Virtual Reality 14: Accelerating Change in Healthcare: Next Medical Toolkit (repost)

Medicine Meets Virtual Reality 14: Accelerating Change in Healthcare: Next Medical Toolkit By R.S. Haluck, H.M. Hoffman J.D. Westwood
Publisher: I.O.S Press 2006 | 620 Pages | ISBN: 1586035835 | PDF | 17 MB

Our healthcare system appears on the verge of crisis, and accelerating change is part of the problem. Each technological upgrade demands an investment of education and money, and a costly infrastructure more quickly becomes obsolete. Practitioners can be overloaded with complexity: therapeutic options, outcomes data, procedural coding, drug names etc. Furthermore, an aging global population with a growing sense of entitlement demands that each medical breakthrough be immediately available for its benefit: what appears in the morning paper is expected simultaneously in the doctor's office. Meanwhile, a third-party payer system generates conflicting priorities for patient care and stockholder returns.
