It remains a distinguished, flawed and rewarding vocation-but it may be coming to an end as we know it. Computer algorithms promise patients better access, safer therapies and more predictable outcomes. Technology reduces costs, designs more effective and personalized treatments and diminishes fraud and waste. Balanced against these miraculous developments is the risk that medical professionals will forget their primary responsibility is to their patients, not to a template of care. Written for anyone who has considered a career in health care-and for any patient who has had an office visit where a provider spent more time doing data-entry than examining them-this book weighs the benefits of emerging technologies against the limitations of traditional systems to envision a future where both doctors and patients are better-informed consumers of health care tools"--| Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
