According to an article on the Smithsonian website, architects are already talking about how modern hospital designs could change to avoid a repeat of the current situation.

HKS Architects has released concept studies for converting buildings into temporary hospital spaces in 14 days or fewer. The firm also organized an a webinar on conversions with representatives of hospital systems, hotel chains, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
