AB As  we  move  into  the  21st  century,  much  has  been  written  about  what  the  new  millennium  will  bring.  Forecasters  have  made  detailed  projections  about  world  demographics  and  what  the  population  will  look  like  in  terms  of  disease,  activity  levels,  and  health  in  the  next  quarter  of  a  century.  Dramatic  changes  are  expected  in  the  field  of  medicine  that  will  impact  the  manner  in  which  diseases  are  diagnosed  and  treated.  There  are  large  initiatives  already  in  place  in  the  United  States,  aimed  at  prevention  and  wellness,  which  project  into  the  next  decade.  Information  technology,  an  area  where  health  care  companies  are  beginning  to  invest  heavily,  will  revolutionize  how  we  communicate  and  utilize  information.
