Answer 1

Medical and technological advancements is the biggest challenge for the health care industry today. As the technology is increasing at a rapid pace, the use of those advancements in the medical industry also became inevitable. Due to these advance technologies and shortage of physicians, the costs of the health care has increased enormously. To overcome this challenge and reduce the medical costs the most efficient way is to provide training and education to the eligible people regarding the advancements and thus can increase the number of physicians. The training must be centered around the dynamics of the medical technologies and how to remain proficient to the patients.

In this way the number of efficient physicians attending the patients can be increased thereby providing the treatment at a low cost. The future requires physicians to involve patients more in personal care and to always communicate with the patient whenever in need without a visit to the hospital.
