Technological innovations sometimes compel paradigm shifts. Two decades ago the CT scanner was one such phenomenon: It quickly and absolutely transformed medical practice. A marriage of medicine and telecommunications could engender a similar transformation. The timing surely is favorable, as pressing requirements of healthcare reform coincide with the flowering of telecommunications technologies.
技术创新有时会促使范式转变。二十年前，CT扫描仪就是这样一种现象：它迅速且彻底地改变了医疗实践。医学与电信的结合可能会带来类似的变革。时机无疑是有利的，因为医疗改革的紧迫需求与电信技术的蓬勃发展恰逢其时。
