Obsolesence and the Impact of IT on Health and Medicine

Our recent visit to Apollo Hospital here in Bashundara, Dhaka opened our eyes to the unique requirements of ICT used to support health and medicine.
In particular the IT Manager talked about obsolesence as being the main disadvantage of using ICT in this area.
Post comments in response to this statement.

• Do you agree with it?
  
• What does he mean by obsolesence?
  
• What becomes obsolete?
  
• How does this equate in business or financial terms?
  
• How does this relate to maintaining a high quality service.

I look forward to reading your informed opinions.
