The Power and Potential of Automating Care

The incorporation of computers into clinical settings has led to the rise in the use of the term "automation" as a buzzword. However, the status of this term as a buzzword vastly overestimates the role automation plays versus what it could play in the clinical context. Despite vast opportunities offered by the expansion of automation into care systems, major gaps remain in the infrastructure required to support its widespread introduction. Fortunately, tools like RexDB by Prometheus Research can facilitate such an infrastructure.
