HTO Robot Nurse Will Robots Replace Healthcare Providers?

Automation has been making human workers superfluous for centuries, but until recently, workers whose jobs required high-level cognitive skills have been able to rest easy, confident no machine could possibly replace them when it came to making nuanced decisions based on the evaluation of complicated, sometimes contradictory data. By Khal Rai, Senior Vice President, Product Development & Operations, SRS Health

Additionally, patients use the ER and urgent care practices for illnesses or injuries that could be treated without creating additional foot traffic.

Even so, names are not used to mange files. By Randy Chalfant
