Creating Frameworks, which describes organizational changes in future health-care delivery

Future Processes of Healthcare Delivery, which examines different processes of delivery, such as strategic planning, palliative care, and the impact of research knowledge

Emerging Technologies, which addresses technology's potential impact on future care
