As you prepare for your health profession, there will be many changes in the healthcare system by the time you begin practicing. Social change, the social forces that change society’s organization and social structures, is inevitable. Former President Trump’s attempt to replace Obamacare failed, and a new health care bill is being drafted. Some potential changes include allowing insurance companies to charge individuals who have pre-existing conditions more for health insurance and eliminating nearly all the taxes that are levied against individuals, insurance companies, executives, and medical device manufacturers. By the time you are “seeing” patients, that may be all you are doing because you may be involved in telemedicine. You will “see” or establish a valid physician-patient relationship without needing an in-person exam by using telecommunications or information technology. 3D printing may allow pharmaceutical companies to license the reproduction of on-demand pills to hospitals, reducing costs dramatically. Big data will provide a vast array of improvements in the health care system due to an ever-growing database of public health information that will allow problems to be spotted before they occur and provide recommendations for medicinal or educational remedies in advance. For example, data from Twitter can help spot flu epidemics. More than half of working nurses are over 50, meaning there will be quite a bit of turnover in the nursing field. The demographics in the U.S. are rapidly changing, requiring nurses to prepare to provide care for patients from different cultures and religions and who speak other languages. Be prepared for social changes in your profession.
