The future: "Health-care delivery and design: 2000 to 2040.".
Before one more obsolete hospital gets built, architects must look at the future of patient care and the technologies it will demand. That's according to Robert J. Iverson, ALA, a Senior Associate Principal with Loebl Schlossman & Hackl/Hague-Richards in Chicago, who has spent 28 years involved in the architecture of health-care--nursing homes, primary-care and tertiary hospitals, and research facilities. In a presentation for NeoCon this June, he identifies some medical advances that will dramatically affect the delivery of patient care, and suggests design strategies for the hospital of the coming century.
