The Future of Critical Care Medicine and Hospital Care?

In the past, when a patient is sick in a community hospital they may call a referral center and say, I need to transfer my patient. Now much of the communication began to occur outside of individual hospitals. What we've seen is that there is an expanded capacity for caring for patients now in local hospitals. But I worry that that expanded capacity will wane over time as education and training get scaled back or they fall back to a traditional baseline.
