Healthcare is in the process of being transformed, with new technology and innovative spaces for caregiving at the forefront. With a consumer-centric focus becoming the new norm, providers are being tasked with the responsibility of managing a broader range of facilities and are changing the way they provide care in those facilities. Leaning out the process and the operational costs are critical to making these changes effective.
Learning Objectives:
1. Discuss the ways that healthcare is transforming to a more consumer-centric model.
2. Describe planning and construction approaches that address today's emphasis on population health.
3. Identify how modern facilities can support increased efficiency, lower costs, and improve patient wellness.
4. Formulate strategies to make healthcare more collaborative and accessible for patients and their families.
