3. Changes in technology.
Role for technology in assessing, diagnosing and managing diseases, illness and disability – not in taking over the caring function.
Defining new services and redefining old ones

5. Variation in service models.
Multipurpose services.Community-based services.Step-down and rehabilitation services.
• Tracking population trends and impacts of other factors essential to planning.
• Requires flexible systems and a flexible workforce to meet these needs.
