REPORT SCOPE
FOREWORD
Universal healthcare coverage has begun to slowly create ripples of efficiency within the enormous structure of the healthcare system. Globally, the rising costs of healthcare stand in contrast to contracting budgets and credit defaults. The percentage of GDP devoted in most countries to healthcare has not dropped, but has slowed in its ascent.
Science and technology improvements have continued, and we now see iPADs as prevalently as the stethoscope. iPhones that relate vital statistics are also becoming part of the clinician’s tool belt.
