title: It's time to answer the wake-up call.
abstract: The dramatic change in the work world of every industry including health care is creating anxiety and stress among workers. According to many authors, this is merely the tip of the iceberg in relation to what will come. The way we must do our work is changing at breakneck speed. Resisting it will not stop it, fearing it will not help. Learning to respond quickly and recognizing that technology will only replace the routine and systematic processes can restore the energy necessary to meet the challenges ahead.
