As Bob Dylan wrote in 1964, ‘The Times Are a-Changin’ and this is certainly true with healthcare facility design and construction. Patient expectations, new and often confusing regulations, and anticipating clinical needs are among many factors that continue to impact facility design. Technology is enabling better design processes and offering clinicians significant advancements in patient care. In this idea exchange, attendees will explore areas where technology is impacting the design, construction, and maintenance of hospitals and care facilities.

Learning Objectives:
1. Identify and discuss areas of design, construction, and maintenance impacted by technology.
2. Evaluate if today's facilities should be designed with an overarching vision for the implementation of future technologies.
3. Discuss how facility design correlates with improved patient care.
4. List additional factors that continue to impact facility design.
