What’s So Smart About Smart Hospitals?

Information technology has revolutionized many industries, including healthcare. “Smart” hospitals promise vast increases in productivity, and are being designed as integrated IT platforms linking together technology, patients, and providers in a complex web of interaction.

But are the promised advantages of smart hospitals tangible, or are there a number of factors that may inhibit providers from obtaining the benefits that are promised? And how are things really measured? Edward M. Roche will discuss this high-growth area of expenditures, and go over both the accelerators and inhibitors of this transformation in healthcare.
