Interesting article written by Tom Roberston of Vizient paralleling the proliferation of drones and the continued escalation of hospital administrative costs. Well worth a couple minutes to read.
There are 2.5 million drones flying in the U.S. and their typical range is two or three miles. A circle with a radius of 2 miles has an area of 12.5 square miles. The continental U.S. covers 2.9 million square miles. That means, if evenly spaced, 232,000 drones could cover the United States without overlapping their territories. We have 11 times as many drones in service today and sales are expected to add another 2.8 million buzzing hover crafts this year.
What had been a novelty – encountering a drone on an evening walk – is likely to become a regular occurrence as millions of the aircraft flit around overhead. The rapid expansion of drones has largely gone unnoticed until now, but we will reach a threshold where they will become impossible to ignore and the prospect of unintended consequences is likely.
