The “Modern Physician” needs to embrace technology
February 12, 2021 Veronica Diaz, MD
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic forced health systems and private practices to implement technology solutions such as telehealth, the evolution toward a more tech-savvy healthcare experience was firmly underway. The days of carting paper charts and hard film x-rays has been broadly supplanted with cloud-based electronic health records and digital Picture Archiving Communications Systems (PACS). The pandemic has made those previously reticent to adopt technology wake up to its necessity.
Practicing medicine today requires a higher degree of technical literacy than ever before, and the challenges of the pandemic have only reinforced and accelerated that trend. We have reached an inflection point in the industry where clinical expertise is not the only prerequisite for a successful career. Physicians who familiarize, vet, and incorporate new technology into their practices will likely be in the best position to deliver optimal care.

Gabarito
B
Comentário do professor
Alternativa correta: prior to the pandemic — ou seja, antes da pandemia.
A forma verbal had been evolving indica um processo contínuo ocorrido no passado e anterior a outro evento passado. Assim, é necessário um marcador temporal que situe essa evolução antes de um momento específico.
O sintagma prior to the pandemic cumpre exatamente essa função: estabelece que a evolução tecnológica na saúde já estava em andamento antes da pandemia de COVID‑19. Em português, equivale a antes da pandemia, preservando o sentido de anterioridade exigido pelo tempo verbal.
Por isso a alternativa B é a escolha correta: casa semanticamente com o aspecto temporal do verbo e com a ideia de continuidade do processo até o ponto de referência (a pandemia).
