Reading Time: < 1 minute

Healthcare delivery systems are undergoing constant change and reform due to an ever increasingly aging populace combined with the results of this aging populace: more debilitating diseases in conjunction with healthcare needs that are increasingly of greater complexity. The fact that people tend to move around a lot more often in modern times gives weight to the fact it is increasingly difficult to find healthcare workers such as live in nurses, at home visits and with personal support workers. In the mean time, how medicine as a field is being approached and practiced has also begun to shift vastly, as there are technological and pharmacological developments in conjunction with lesser time for patients being admitted into hospitals, where they are discharged a lot faster than they previously were before in order to do tests that were previously done while the patient was still hospitalized, now are being done on separate times, requiring the patient to commute back to the hospital for these assessments. Patients are also being increasingly pressed by healthcare providers to follow healthcare regimens at home, to execute them and evaluate themselves, without the assistance of a healthcare delivery professional.
