Howell's novel, Technology in the Hospital, starts out with a focus on the evolution of technology and how it improved the funds for healthcare provider facilities, as well as efficient care to patients. As the novel begins, Howell, uses several pictures of graphed data to show the changes in trend over a period of time. His main focus during the first two chapters was to grasp the attention of the reader by relating things back to the turn of the twentieth century. During this time, healthcare within the household became less common, as healthcare providers became more involved and efficient with the use of hospitals.
In my opinion, the change from home care to hospitalization was a great idea, for as we know today, not all things needed to treat someone who is need of medical care is within the home. The increase in financial funds for the hospital gave them more of a drive to treat patients as fast as they could, in order to gain more funds by treating more patients. The change toward scientific data was put into play and made hospitals more appealing to everyone. The modernization of the hospital room brought on the need for everyone to get treated, in the best way they knew how to- increasing the amount of patients in the hospital and decreases and somewhat ceases the act of home healthcare.
