Technical-trend writer Ellis projects the rate of technological development over the past three decades into the next three decades of the health care industry. He argues that the most visible changes in medicine, such as MRI, CAT, and PET scanners, are not as important in the long run as the streamlining of the administration of hospitals and doctor's offices, enabling more efficient processing and storage of patient medical and billing records. He also calls on five professionals from the industry to reveal their perspectives.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
