In today’s world, everyone wants the most from health care. In the last 10 years, health care has changed in a big way. One thing, in which has changed, is “the way older adults are living ten years longer than before” (Imperial NHS, 2011).

There are so many things I have learned about this program, which I didn’t know before. This will come in very handy, with my future job. Technology has played a huge role in the health care industry, in a big way, with new equipment and new treatments, which will benefit the health organization and the patients/residents, highly. In the next ten years, it will play a vital role in health care. It will help to “ensure the compliance in the legal requirements of health care and it will help to reduce the costs and provide better care than before” (Finnegan, 2012)
