ABSTRACT
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.
ABSTRACT
Medical model is the product of medical practice and crystallization of the essence of medicine and insights of life based on human being's fights against diseases for ages.Medical practice and medical model change fundamentally with the changing needs of human.being for health,having undergone for example from biomedical model to biopsychosocial(BPS)model.Thanks to perspectives of Epistemology and practice theory,the medical model is nourishing itself with BPS theories and methodologies for sustainable development,helping human being to better understand health and life multi-dimensionally.In such a model,individual hospitals will shift from focusing on disease care to provision of wholesome and sustained health services,while hospital systems will shift from coordination to resources reallocation and vertical integration.Thus the hospitals will gain new perspectives and broader horizon for development in the future.
