Transforming Medicine While Producing Middle Class Jobs In the Process

The Robot Will See You Now by Jonathan Cohn.  Atlantic Magazine.  March 2013.

Among the insights of this article is the possibility that healthcare technology, in contrast with other industries, will result in expanded mid-level employment.  Implementation of technology in other industries hollowed out mid-level employment.  In healthcare such occupations as physician assistant, nurse practitioner etc could, under this scenario flourish while the role of physician will evolve toward more of a "super-quality-control officer."
