This document discusses the paradox of information revolution in health. It notes the rising demand on health systems due to aging populations and chronic illness, yet constrained capacity due to safety, workforce and cost issues.

The document argues we must address issues like competency, governance and workflow to successfully harness technology and overcome this paradox of having plenty yet experiencing starvation in health systems.
