There are many forces shaping this new world of modern healthcare.  Learn about the Supertrends that are causing dynamic shifts in the nature of care and how, when and by whom it is provided.  Several powerful and overarching themes being driven by a new generation of patients and providers will be explored.  This session will detail how a strategic analysis of these Supertrends offers a framework that will help you guide long-term capital decision making and understand the impact on capital investments.  Evaluate the role that physical environment plays in accommodating the needs and desires of future generations of patients and providers.

 

The rapidly advancing fields of digital health and machine intelligence are enabling an increase in virtual care. What impact will this have on services provided in traditional facilities?  Will we see the rise of digital health facilities that monitor and treat patients who are wearing an array of sensors providing diagnostic data? How will homes and communities adapt to take advantage of these new technologies?  The forces driving this change will be examined, as well as the current and future state of digital health and machine intelligence.  Discussion will include an analysis of how these developments will alter our notion of what healthcare is and what it will be in the future.
