Healthcare organizations are using information technology and facility design to support new models of patient care, according to an article in Health Facilities Management magazine.

• patient-centric, wellness solutions
• the application of hospitality and Lean enterprise concepts and digital modeling to redefine health care operations and redesign facilities
Healthcare providers have developed these strategies out of economic necessity, but as they also have seen improvement in quality, safety and patient satisfaction.
