T
Computers and robots can perform a wide range of routine physical work activities better, cheaper, faster, and more safely than humans.
F
The types of work-related activities best suited for automation include activities associated with managing others, applying expertise in making decisions and offering recommendations, interacting with stakeholders, and performing physical activities in an unstructured and unpredictable environment.
F
Machine learning has contributed to the development of a much more in-depth understanding of the human genome as well as practical speech recognition, improved web search results, and self-driving cars.
T
The development and use of new medical technology, such as new diagnostic procedures and treatments, also contributes to the increase in healthcare spending per person.
T
Lifestyle changes have led to a decrease in chronic illnesses, such as diabetes and heart disease, that are expensive and difficult to treat.

F
More advanced artificial-intelligence-based clinical decision support systems can help doctors choose the proper dosage levels of medication based on a patient’s most recent tests results.
T
A computerized provider order entry (CPOE) system enables physicians to place orders (for drugs, laboratory tests, radiology, physical therapy) electronically, with the orders transmitted directly to the recipient.
T
In hospital-related settings, implementing CPOE is associated with a 10 percent decline in preventable adverse drug effects.
F
Today most radiologists employ a personal health record system to review cases from a remote location.
F
Store-and-forward telemedicine involves acquiring data, sound, images, and video from a patient and then transmitting everything to a medical specialist for later evaluation.
T

F
Remote monitoring involves the regular, ongoing, accurate measurement of an individual’s vital signs and other health measures and the transmission of this data to a healthcare provider.
