One cannot speak about emerging approaches to hospitals and hospital design without taking into consideration the ever-increasing changes in the structure of all aspects of today's society: cultural, economic, educational, scientific, social and technological. The design of health care is interwoven with all of these changes. Health facilities design is an outcome of a collective effort of all those involved in both the design and execution of projects. Success in laying down the features of new approaches to hospitals and their design depends to a large extent on our ability to confer and co-operate with each other, to learn from the past, to anticipate the needs of the future and to influence the direction of all developments, based on the strength of knowledge and creativity. In this article, both authors give their views on these issues.
如果不考虑当今社会各个方面（文化、经济、教育、科学、社会和技术）结构中不断增加的变化，就无法谈论医院及医院设计的新兴方法。医疗保健设计与所有这些变化交织在一起。医疗设施设计是参与项目设计和实施的所有人员共同努力的结果。确定医院新方法及其设计特点的成功在很大程度上取决于我们相互交流与合作的能力，取决于从过去吸取经验教训、预测未来需求以及基于知识和创造力的力量影响所有发展方向的能力。在本文中，两位作者阐述了他们对这些问题的看法。
