      Emerging technology affects how health care services and facilities are delivered, staffed, and designed. Yet medical technology changes more rapidly than buildings are designed and built. How can we prepare today for tomorrow’s medical technology? Using case studies, take an innovative look at how various forms of medical technology are changing the landscape of health care delivery and how health care facilities will be organized in the future to accommodate these changes.

Learning objectives:

• Prioritize the most significant drivers affecting how health care services and facilities are delivered and designed, and review how they are most likely to influence design
• Plan today for tomorrow's technology and apply these guidelines to a variety of health care projects
• Analyze which projects are most likely to be influenced by emerging medical technology and which aspects of these projects will most likely change.
