Albert Einstein’s quote:

The formulation of a problem is far more often essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.

What is the value of this statement in terms of the research process?

In terms of the research process there will be as many probable solutions as there are researchers. For this reason it is imperative that all data extrapolated utilizing the basic formula is verified to be valid. To find new ideas to all problems researchers must approach the issue with a question attitude.

What is the relevance and relationship of this statement to the technologically advancing health care environment?

It is safe to say that the flu virus has been around since the beginning of time. However, flu research is an ongoing, time consuming, never ending battle to control the spread of the virus. Being that the flu is a virus, there is no cure once a person has contracted it. Still every year researcher manage to produce a vaccine to combat against whatever strand of the virus exist during that particular calendar year.

Where do these questions allow us to go?

The questions above allow us to take a long hard look at finding the proper solution that would be most beneficial for society.
