In February 2023, a significant milestone was achieved when it was announced that ChatGPT, a large language model developed by Open AI, successfully passed the U.S. medical license exam with a score above 60%. Building upon this accomplishment, a newly released version of ChatGPT emerged just two months later, achieving an exceptional score of over 90% on the same medical licensing exam. Healthcare is undergoing a revolution fueled by advancements in computer vision, smart wearables, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and generative artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT. These cutting-edge technologies are pushing the boundaries of what was previously deemed possible, even offering solutions to physician burnout or the nursing shortage. However, amid this rapid transformation, the field of hospital management and the traditional approach to constructing new healthcare facilities have remained largely unchanged. As our team prepares to open our ninth hospital, we leveraged this unique opportunity to challenge the status quo and envision the future of healthcare through our "hospital of the future bets." Developed by our organization, this framework is designed to incorporate technology into every aspect of the hospital's design, construction and operational commissioning processes. Our "hospital of the future bets" approach allowed us to harness the power of technology, change operational workflows, improve patient experiences and ultimately transform healthcare delivery. Through this endeavor, we aspire to share our lessons learned and inspire other healthcare organizations to adopt similar forward-looking strategies, contributing to the ongoing evolution of the healthcare industry. By embracing the potential of emerging technologies, we can collectively shape a future where healthcare facilities lead the way in innovation and effectively meet the needs of patients and healthcare providers.
Learning Objectives:
Outline trends and developments for clinical and operational technology applications—especially artificial intelligence in healthcare.
Demonstrate the role and importance of the culture of innovation and change management in building the hospital of the future.
