As healthcare providers, we have many current processes and techniques for helping clients in our care in regards to Alzheimers. While no one wants to deprive these patients of quality treatments and related services, it is still important to recognize that medicine is progressing at an astounding rate and that at any time, we could develop new techniques for dealing with, or better still eliminating, the onslaught of Alzheimers. As such, it is worth considering how your organization is positioned in relation to this and other similar medical conditions/treatments and how your business model would be impacted by such an advancement in medicine, as has happened in the past when other diseases have been 'conquered'.
