Two powerful agents for change in medicine are information technology, which will change the management of medical knowledge, and thereby change medical practice; and biotechnology, which will change the fundamental nature of medicine itself.

As we consider technology, we must put aside its classic and
traditional uses. Technology must not be understood in light of
present practice, or assimilated without rethinking the fundamental
nature of medicine. Technology will not be used to rigidify the past,
to make more efficient organizational processes that were developed
decades, if not hundreds of years before computing.

For thinking about the impact of technology on medicine, the present
may not be a guide to the future... Planning (requires) envisioning
from the future to the present, new systems of technology, organizations,
and work.
