Use of 3D Printing Technology in Fracture Management: A Review and Case Series.

Three-dimensional (3D) offers exciting opportunities in medicine, particularly in orthopaedics. The boundaries of 3D printing are continuously being re-established and have paved the way for further innovations, including 3D bioprinting, custom printing refined methods, 4D bioprinting, and 5D printing potential. The quality of these applications have been steadily improving, increasing their widespread use among clinicians.

Process Improvement and Information Technology: The Keys to Health Care Transformation.

Human beings are inherently resistant to change. In our technologically driven world, change happens fast, thereby regularly challenging us inherently change-averse humans to adjust. Only through rapid, effective, outcomes-driven change can we address the numerous challenges facing health care today.
