Healthcare Technology Vision and Innovation – Technology Briefs

Healthcare technology is continuously evolving. When appropriately integrated into new construction and major renovation projects, it can promote patient and family member engagement, improve workflow and processes, and enhance staff satisfaction. However, each new technology can bring its own set of risks, including concerns over potential capital and operating costs, the ability to deploy and support, and information security and privacy. In this fast-paced environment, a balanced, value-based perspective is essential, and the Vantage Technology, Vision, and Innovation team can provide you with that insight. 

The Vantage Tech Briefs below explore some of the technologies that are impacting care (in the patient room and throughout next-generation hospitals and healthcare campuses) and enhancing the broader healing environment. Each brief provides a concise overview of each technology and its associated needs, benefits, and risks.
