Day 13 篤師示范-邏輯導圖.jpg

邏輯圖思路：

根據上一個主題安妮對于繪制邏輯圖的一些講解，這一次也做了相應的應用，抓住不變的因素先單獨做出圖譜，然后再完成整個內容的串接。但是，當時聽起來的時候感覺恍然大悟，然后躍躍欲試，真的做起來的時候，感覺真心不容易，可能因為這種方法我用的比較少吧，所以很不熟練，所以做出的圖還是沒有安妮的圖那么簡潔。
大體的思路是這樣的：
首先整個醫療價值圈里面的4個角色先抓住，分別是the technology insurgents, traditional innovators, incumbent players 和 customer, 也就是patients，而文章的其他內容，就在這四個方面分別進行聯系和發展，而這些都是圍繞著digital health care這一主題的。
從內容上來看，文章先講了一個大背景，就是電子醫療的投資迅猛增長。這個大背景下的原因主要有兩點，第一，是因為電子醫療能夠降低現有醫療機構的潛在的成本，有比較好的發展空間和發展前景，第二，就是現代人們對于電子醫療的接受程度要遠高于之前，所以電子醫療設備能夠打開消費者的市場。
之后，文章則開始就電子醫療這一領域的迅猛發展開始討論它對醫療價值鏈中的各方所帶來的影響。有好的影響，當然也有不好的影響。
其中，patients 在電子醫療迅猛發展的過程中，為新的innovator提供了大數據，通過各種APP，sensor，或者其他種類的數據平臺，而這些數據在促進電子醫療進一步發展的過程中，也給傳統的innovator帶來了威脅，因為各種先進的APP等要比傳統的醫院揮著藥房等，更加的即時和快速，大大減少了醫院的急救率，但同時，由于電子化醫療手段的進一步發展，也給醫院等機構提供了很好的電子援助平臺，輔助醫院更好的進行診斷和測量。而對于technology insurgent來說，未來還有很大的發展空間，作者也對此展開了很多的設想，諸如電子醫療設備進家等等。
-大體的思路就是這樣，文章的主題理解起來沒有問題，但是就是如何能夠讓它串聯更加流程讓我很糾結，打算明天再把這個圖進行進一步的修改和總結。
