    Description

    The one certainty with technology is that it will change. This is especially true in healthcare design, where, as healthcare architects, we aim to anticipate change, design for flexibility, and ensure that buildings last far longer than any current trend in technology. This presentation will explore the role that technology plays in the patient experience, staff experience, and healthcare operations. It will also highlight the interrelationship between the technology master plan and the facility master plan as both seek to address the needs of technology infrastructure within existing buildings while ensuring the adaptability and flexibility to support future building needs- whether they are anticipated or still unknown.

    Learning objectives

    After participating in this webinar attendees will be equipped to:

    1. Understand the integral role technology plays in the design of healthcare spaces.
    2. Understand the impact of technology on patient and staff experience in healthcare settings.
    3. Identify challenges associated with the pace of change in technology and strategies to mitigate them.
    4. Explore the impact that technology will have on future healthcare operations, patient expectations, and healthcare system strategic thinking.
