Designing the next generation of American hospitals.
Change has always been a part of the hospital's operating environment, but the changes predicted for American Hospitals during the next two decades pose considerable challenge to those who manage health care services and those who design medical facilities. The next generation of American Hospitals are responding to changes in technology, availability of human resources and demand of the public, private and government interest groups. Hospitals and architects that understand the predictable changes and anticipate the unknown, will be able to plan a facility that responds to the needs of future health care delivery.
