Abstract
This last chapter of the book brings us to issues facing medicine today and tomorrow. What is the future for medical teams, contract practice, and the marriage of information technology and medicine? As we read the words of Barbara Starfield, we can ponder if there will ever be an equitable distribution of health. And what is to be the physician’s role in deciding medicine’s future?
