Future healthcare facilities will not have patients in them, according to a health IT expert in New Zealand.
“For health facilities, we will begin to push the boundaries so they are designed not to have any patients in them – only clinicians and support staff," Scott Arrol, chief executive of NZ Health IT, said in an article on the Business Scoop website.
The use of future tech will mean they’re monitoring and responding remotely.
“We will see a big shift in healthcare to those who need it as people can access healthcare from their device, in minutes rather than hours or days," he said.
