Designing The Smart Hospital
While the country’s population is aging, the cost of healthcare is on the rise. Providers and payers are seeking a change that will create better outcomes and quality of care at a lower cost. The solution to this growing problem is implementing smart healthcare technologies and designs into hospitals around the country.
ACI is excited to announce our upcoming conference on Smart Hospital Design taking place January 20-22, 2016. You will not want to miss this opportunity to learn from, and network with, representatives from organizations nationwide that are prepared to deliver superior service to a growing population into the future through the implementation of smart technology.
This conference will highlight and discuss a myriad of topics that are relevant to providing efficient patient care at a lower cost. Topics of interest that will be introduced and discussed are the benefits of the latest technology, how to architecturally design a smart hospital and why implementing smart systems give the patient more say over their care and how that leads to higher patient satisfaction. Understanding the importance of these variables, as well as others, will distinguish the positive impact that smart healthcare can have on hospital costs, employee efficiency and patient care.
Embrace this opportunity to network and learn from the top hospital executives and administrators as they speak on the development and success of their own facilities.
