Healthcare Innovation

Innovation has transformed modern medicine in ways that would have seemed impossible a generation ago. New diagnostic tools, digital records and remote consultations have all contributed (0) TO a healthcare system that can respond more quickly and accurately to patients' needs. In many countries, hospitals now rely (1) .......... data-driven technologies to improve decision-making and reduce delays in treatment. This has led not only to better outcomes for patients, but also to greater efficiency across the system as a whole. However, innovation does not come (2) .......... challenges. Advanced equipment is expensive, and staff must be trained properly in order to make full use of it. In addition, some patients are reluctant to engage (3) .......... digital services, particularly if they are unfamiliar with the technology involved. There is also concern about whether personal medical information is being kept secure and who has access (4) .......... it. Even so, few experts would argue (5) .......... the long-term benefits of innovation in healthcare. When new systems are introduced carefully and supported (6) .......... clear guidance, they can ease pressure on doctors and nurses while improving the quality of care. What matters most is that innovation should work (7) .......... the benefit of everyone, rather than creating advantages only for those who are already well served (8) .......... existing services.

What to do

This part consists of a short text with a series of gaps. There are no words from which to choose the answers, candidates have to think of a word which fits the gap correctly.

Errors in punctuation are ignored, although spelling must be correct.

Contractions (e.g. don’t, we’ve, won’t) count as two words. However, can’t is a contraction of cannot, which is one word.

Sometimes, there is more than one correct answer. Cambridge will always account for this and all options will be accepted. However, you should not write more than one answer.

Don't spend time in a word you don't know. Wasting time on this activity might cost you points later in the exam because you won’t have enough time to do other tasks well.

Strategy

  1. Read the title and the whole text so that you understand what it is about.
  2. Read the whole sentence in which the gap occurs, to look for clues as to what kind of word you need.
  3. Check the words before and after each gap and look for grammatical collocations.
  4. Remember you must write only one word.
  5. You are never required to write a contraction. If you think the answer is a contraction, it must be wrong, so think again.
  6. Read the whole text through once you have completed it to make sure you have not missed any connectors, plurals or negatives.
