Para já, férias. O futuro a Deus pertence
Estrámos de férias. Durante este período de “dolce
far niente” prometemos não falar do Paulo Macedo nem doutros chatos que tais. Principalmente dos estrategas
de serviço da nossa praça. A propósito de estrategas da Saúde, só conhecemos Ricardo Salgado. Quando decidiu chamar a ingenhêira cheia de speed para o
arranque do seu projecto.
O que será desta gente e do SNS em 2040 ? "Ninguém faz ideia de quem vem lá!". Não, sabe-se concerteza. Algumas especulações
interessantes “de quem vem lá” link

Trust me, I'm a patient

The biggest challenges for health of the UK population
in 2040 will not concern particular diseases or conditions but the much more
fundamental issues of how and by whom health care decisions will be made. By
2040, consultations and hospitalisations will be rarer due to limited health
care resources and staff, and a significant increase in average age and life
expectancy. As a result, the future will be dominated by self-care.
Supported by technology and related skills, patients will be in almost full
control, will primarily be self-diagnosing their health issues and carrying out
self-treatment. With self-monitoring of almost all aspects of personal health
and wellbeing commonplace, there will be a deluge of patient-related
data. The way in which doctors decide on how to advise or treat those
patients they still see in person will fundamentally change. On the one hand,
IT will be easing almost all clinical decisions but, on the other, any advice
will be fully scrutinised by patients who will be much more medically literate
and have access to at least the same information and data as the health
service. The reliance on technology will become a major issue
for certain patients. Health professionals will need to focus on those
(combinations of) diseases and conditions which the IT programmers will have
been unable to tackle. In addition, they will remain involved with those
patients who cannot make their own decisions, or those who have been told by
their app that their best medicine is... a human touch.
