Zenith, I am convinced it is technology that will ultimately be the saving grace in our broken health system. You mention that new technology would cause the loss of jobs for nurses, and aids. I have to respectfully disagree; in chapter 5 of our text we see the calamity that is about to happen to us with the nurse shortage, if on present course by the year 2015 we will have 114,000 jobs go unfilled. Technology needs to eliminate positions to create a balance or our current system will fail. By providing that balance it will eliminate the “Burn Out” condition that our nurses a currently experiencing and bring quality care to the patient. So I believe we have nothing to fear that new technology will create job loss, actually it has been very much the opposite, when I was a child personal computers did not exist let alone Microsoft and the 1000’s they employ.
