IT and medical technology set to converge in the hospital of the future Julian M. Goldman, MD Departments of Anesthesia and Biomedical Engineering
Massachusetts General Hospital

For some time there has been a growing sense of anxiety about the escalating burden of healthcare costs on individuals, businesses and government. More recently, a series of reports from the prestigious Institute of Medicine (IOM) has raised questions about the quality of care, with a resulting "diagnosis" that the industry needs a complete makeover incorporating more modern business practices and the power of the latest communication and information systems into the business offices as well as clinical practice.

What factors will shape the time frame of these changes, and what will be the business opportunities associated will this transition, as information technology converges with medical technology. What will the hospital of the future look like? These questions and the associated implications will be addressed in the presentation.
