Smart hospitals - Statistics & Facts
Technological enablement, digitization, and automation are profoundly affecting the industry of healthcare. To keep up with this global digital transformation, hospitals need to get smarter. The value of the smart hospital market, already worth billions in 2021, is expected to grow exponentially in the years to come. This is especially important as the coming decade will present global healthcare challenges. Indeed, many factors are drivers for the evolution of hospitals. To name a few: the emergence of threats like the COVID-19 pandemic, the growing and aging population, the global rise of health costs, and rising consumer expectations. Ultimately, hospitals will need to optimize, redesign, and build new clinical processes, management systems, and infrastructure to meet these changes.
