The future hospital is a resilient, physical learning facility featuring digital enhancement and leveraging an ecosystem of platforms for the Internet of Things (IoT) and analytics, achieving patient-centric care delivery via multidisciplinary healthcare provider teams coordinated to meet patients' medical, psychological, social and economic needs. It exists in a just ecosystem that assimilates the care spectrum from healthy living, the prevention of disease to acute care and the rehabilitation of patients recuperating from illnesses. It will take some time for these future hospitals to be built or for current hospitals to evolve and/or transform, but efforts to spread wisdom among the stakeholders, healthcare providers and patients must start now. The development of the digital components can also begin today, as can competency building for the healthcare providers who will be staffing these future hospitals, ensuring that they are equipped with competent staff employing patient-centric care processes that cater to patients' current and future needs.
未来医院是一个具备韧性的实体学习设施,具有数字化增强功能,并利用物联网(IoT)和分析平台的生态系统,通过多学科医疗服务团队的协作来满足患者的医疗、心理、社会和经济需求,从而实现以患者为中心的医疗服务。它存在于一个公正的生态系统中,涵盖了从健康生活、疾病预防到急性护理以及患者康复的整个护理范围。建设这些未来医院或使现有医院发展和/或转型需要一些时间,但现在就必须开始在利益相关者、医疗服务提供者和患者之间传播智慧。数字组件的开发也可以从今天开始,为未来医院配备人员的医疗服务提供者的能力建设同样可以开始,确保他们拥有能够采用以患者为中心的护理流程、满足患者当前和未来需求的称职员工。
