Great Advances in Healthcare Techology Await, but Getting There Won't Be Easy

摘要

The biggest threat to this future vision is the expectation that achieving it will be easy. These are very complex systems with multiple actors. The potential for resistance to change, given the difficulty of overcoming legacy systems and the need to do no harm, is substantial. No healthcare technology, however amazing it might prove to be, will operate in a vacuum. It will have to meet a host of requirements and integrate well into the ecosystem. You can go as fast or slow as your willingness to collaborate around this vision and set of outcomes and work together to achieve change. AAMI has a very bright future as a convener to sort out the issues, overcome the resistance, and advocate for progress. We can count on amazing scientific and technological advances ahead. Our greater challenge will be changing our systems and ways of working to keep up with this accelerating rate of breakthrough. AAMI can be a force for bringing people together to ensure the next 50 years exceed your boldest dreams for the future.
