I choose the articles for Cerner, for the fact that my employer recently bought a contract with the company.

As the baby boomer population ages, that means an increase in health care issues such as cardiac disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. It also means more hospitalizations, emergency room visits, long-term care facilities and the increase in the care-giving of this generation. There will be an increased need for physicians who specialize in the areas of care such as primary care and geriatrics. With this increase for specialty care needs, will come yet another decrease in the amount of physicians choosing to specialize in primary care in the United States.
