The current form of academic department is likely to vanish from many institutions. Changes occurring in health care are part of the evolution other industries have experienced, following the product life cycle. Physicians are becoming "deprofessionalized" and as such are beginning to resemble technical workers seen in other industries. The rearrangements in health care are bringing together organizations with different missions, priorities, culture and even language. An academic department may not be considered as an asset to the larger organization or network, representing but one option for product differentiation in the market place. There are strategies for maintaining the viability of the academic component of an organization that necessitate congruence with the overall strategy for the greater organization.
当前学术部门的形式很可能会在许多机构中消失。医疗保健领域发生的变化是其他行业经历过的演变的一部分，遵循产品生命周期。医生正在变得“非专业化”，因此开始类似于其他行业中的技术工人。医疗保健领域的重组正在将具有不同使命、优先事项、文化甚至语言的组织聚集在一起。学术部门可能不会被视为更大组织或网络的资产，而只是市场中产品差异化的一种选择。有一些策略可以维持组织学术部分的生存能力，这些策略需要与更大组织的整体战略保持一致。
