Answer 1

Healthcare Challenge

The cost of medical mistakes that could have been avoided

In a recent whitepaper, Dr. Ujjwal Rao, Senior Clinical Specialist at Elsevier, states that for every 100 hospitalizations per year, around 14 adverse events occur. This indicates that there are approximately 43 million preventable patient injuries each year.

The explosion of medical data

Densen estimates that by 2020, information on the body, health, and healthcare would quadruple every 73 days, according to his study Challenges and Opportunities Facing Medical Education.

Medical information is disseminated slowly.

You may be aware that new scientific findings might take a long to be accepted into therapeutic practice. However, many people are unaware of how long it takes for medical information to spread.
