6. 2.How technology will change future health care.
Numerous technological
breakthroughs that seemed
like science fiction a decade
ago have already become
mainstream in healthcare.
Apart from saving lives and
improving the quality of life,
technological advancements
have reduced medical costs,
made healthcare available in
remote locations, and
completely changed processes
as they pertain to research,
innovation, and education.
7. The United States has what is arguably the most complex
healthcare system in the world. As a result, changes within the
industry are slow. To understand what may come, it helps to
have a deeper understanding of healthcare’s complexity.
Many factors are involved in implementing and enforcing a
change in healthcare. Complex and slow-to-change policies
are an obvious factor, but environmental and technological
factors also contribute to changes in healthcare. Illness trends,
doctor demographics, and technology also contribute to shifts
in our overall healthcare system. As our society evolves, our
healthcare requirements naturally evolve.
8. 3. How healthcare
change in next 10 years
Ten trends for the next decade
are evident:
1) more patients,
2) more technology,
3) more information,
4) the patient as the ultimate
consumer,
5) development of a different
delivery model,
6) innovation driven by
competition,
7) increasing costs,
8) increasing numbers of
uninsured,
9) less pay for providers, and
10) the continued need for a
new healthcare system.
9. Technological trends in
healthcare are marked
by advances such as AI
and digital technology
to deal with crises and
improve virtual care.
Health technology
trends of 2020 also
observed an increase in
healthcare wearables
and sensors, cloud
computing, big data,
and predictive analysis.
4. Future of healthcare technology
10. With the technology predictions for 2021 in mind, we can estimate that the US
health centers will have all the technology needed. As per the predictions in
technology, the healthcare industry will continue to see advancements in
technology. If you wonder where healthcare is going in 2021, let us tell you
that remote patient care and communication will gain the most attention. Remote
patient monitoring and virtual care will gain importance, and more healthcare
organizations will implement tech-driven initiatives.
11. We describe the patterns of coverage gains associated with the Affordable Care Act
(ACA) expansions and use these patterns to assess the potential impact of
alternative repeal or repeal and replace strategies because Congress and the
president are weighing options to repeal or replace the ACA.
We find that specific provisions of the ACA, including the Medicaid expansion and
the structure of premium subsidies, have been associated with large and robust
gains in insurance coverage. We evaluate the impact of retaining dependent
coverage and high-risk pool provisions and show, on the basis of the ACA
experience, that these provisions would have little effect on coverage.
We find that many replacement proposal components, including flat
tax credits and maintaining cost savings provisions, could jeopardize
the ability of many of the ACA’s primary beneficiaries, as well as other
Americans, to access coverage and care. By leading to a deterioration
of the safety net, these strategies could also imperil population
health activities.

12. Carving Out a Future for Health Equity, Closing Health Disparities
In order to build a future defined by health equity, it's important to understand the past and
how injustices have created health disparities.
6. Future of health care disparities
13. To protect our masses, primary care institutes were developed in many countries, all over the globe. In
the previous era, labour was valuable to produce crops and protect native countries from enemies as
no substitute for raw labour was available to do these jobs. The scenario has changed after the era of
automation. After the agricultural revolution, technological revolution took place. Hence, most of the
manual jobs in agriculture sector and industry sector were automated. As a result, “new” type of jobs
has emerged which was based, so far, on mainly of cognitive skills, e.g., learning, analysing,
communication, and understanding human emotions. As the technology is advancing day by day, the
role of humans as individual is becoming less and less except for some extraordinary persons or elite
groups. Now the important question is, will elites and governments will go on valuing every human
being even when it pays no economic dividends? Will the development of mass medicine/primary
care will continue? Will governments/bureaucrats fund adequately for the protection of the health of
these useless classes merely on the humanitarian ground? We assume that due to technological
advancement and greater role of elite classes, the norm of shifting non-normal people to normality
may not require any more, the previous practice of treatment (health for all concept) may not repeat
in future and it is quite natural. Experiences from Japan highlight that society may prefer theses elites
to the useless average class. The gap between the two classes regarding availing health facilities may
widen further. This is because the government may focus more on the health of elites than common
masses. One step further the government/ bureaucrat may try for immortality/divinity for this elite
class, at any cost for maintaining supremacy over the poor masses.
14. Understanding the roles of each member of your
healthcare team is important, especially when managing a
chronic condition. Knowing what each professional does,
and the differences between roles, will help you, the
patient at the center of everyone’s job.
The healthcare team, regardless of whether you’re treated at a
large academic institution or a small, rural private practice, is
the group of professionals who contribute to your care and
treatment as a patient. Typical members of a healthcare team
are a doctor and a registered nurse. In some cases, there might
be a Nurse Practitioner instead of or as well as a doctor. In
others, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and social
workers may be part of the team. Office managers also play an
important role in the healthcare team.
7. Role of Future healthcare team
15. Along with policy and technological changes, the people who provide healthcare are also changing. Providers are
an important part of the healthcare system and any changes to their education, satisfaction or demographics are
likely to affect how patients receive care.
The future of health will likely be driven by digital transformation enabled by radically interoperable data and open,
secure platforms. Health is likely to revolve around sustaining well-being rather than responding to illness.

16. 9. Robotics in Nursing
How Nurse
Robots Offer a
Helping Hand. The
strength of
robot nurses lay in
their ability to assist.
They can help out in
repetitive tasks, such
as medical supply
retrieval, food and
medication delivery,
and patient
movement and
transfer. Robots can
also assist by the
training staff.
17. As an integral part of patient care, nursing is
required to constantly adapt to changes in
the healthcare system, as well as the wider
financial and societal environment. Among
the key factors driving these changes is the
aging of population. Combined with an
existing shortage of nursing and caregiving
professionals, accommodating for the
patients and elderly needs within hospitals,
elderly-care facilities and at a home setting,
becomes a societal challenge. Amongst the
technological solutions that have evolved in
response to these developments, nursing
and assistive robotics claim a pivotal role.
The objective of the present study is to
provide an overview of today's landscape in
nursing and assistive robotics, highlighting
the benefits associated with adopting such
solutions in standard clinical practice. At the
same time, to identify existing challenges
and limitations that essentially outline the
area's future directions. Beyond
technological innovation, the manuscript
also investigates the end-users' angle, being
a crucial parameter in the success of
robotics solutions operating within a
healthcare environment. In this direction,
the results of a survey designed to capture
the nursing professionals' perspective
toward more informed robotics design and
development are presented
18. AI is going to revolutionize how nurse's time is spent delivering patient care but the need for nurses will not be eliminated. A
nurse's experience and knowledge teamed with their skill will only transition into new ways of processing data and the
nurse will evolve into the data integrator.
10. Will artificial intelligence replace nurses
19. This article provides an overview of
artificial intelligence (AI), including how
AI algorithms and robots are altering
the nurse's role and the challenges
facing the nursing profession as AI is
integrated into healthcare delivery.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is often described as the new electricity.
Just as the invention of electricity transformed the way we live,
work, and play, AI is poised to transform the world we live in. By
2025, research predicts that global AI healthcare spending will
equal $36.1 billion.1 In 2017, China announced its goal to
become a global leader in AI by 2030. And on February 11, 2019,
the US issued the executive order Maintaining American
Leadership in Artificial Intelligence, directing all federal
government agencies to implement strategic objectives aimed at
accelerating AI research and development.
With technology investments of this magnitude and extensive
government programs to advance AI, healthcare teams will be
significantly impacted as innovations such as intelligent robots
are launched into healthcare and patient home settings. This
article provides an overview of AI, including how AI algorithms
and robots are changing the nurse's role and challenges facing
the nursing profession as AI is integrated into healthcare delivery.
20. Aerospace flight nursing is concerned with air evacuation/transport of critically-ill
and acutely injured patients in military and civilian settings. Specialized training is
needed since the sites of evacuation, variable stability of the patients, and the
limitations of transport care present challenges. Flight nurses are involved in many
phases of medical launch support for the space program, as well. Medical
certification, post-landing assessment, and emergency procedures planning and
execution, represent only a few of the functions for which their expertise is
essential. They also contribute to the activities of hyperbaric support for wound
care, toxic exposures, and decompression sickness in diving and flying communities.

practitioner and clinical nurse specialist

Specialist
22. Reflecting on the findings, the principle difference appears to be that the CNS roles are always specialist roles
whereas the ANP role is often more of a generalist. A specialist implies a greater depth of knowledge within a
specific clinical area. A generalist requires a greater breadth of clinical knowledge.
This implies that there is a significant overlap of knowledge and that has been supported by previous
research (Stark, 2006), it also implies that there is knowledge specific to each role. CNSs working in different
specialties will require different specialist knowledge. The breadth and depth of knowledge for educational
preparation, will vary according to the clinical area and needs of the service.
Roles practising at the same level on the Career Framework (Skills for Health, 2010) should be educated to
the same academic level. Internationally, master's-level preparation for the ANP role appears to be fairly
universally accepted. There is greater variation in the educational preparation for the CNS role. Arguably,
CNSs practising at an advanced level should also be educated to master's level.
