La médecine et les TI

Alors que dans ce post, il est question d'innover le modèle de la médecine en se servant des technologies, une autre proposition est de mettre en place des systèmes informatiques pour améliorer les opérations dans le réseau. Malheureusement, dans le deuxième cas, une étude vient de démontrer que le succès n'est pas au rendez-vous.
