How Suffocating Regulations Are Leading to Smart Hospitals

“Hospitals may be the most complex organizations in the world,” writes Edward M. Roche, scholar, United Nations consultant, and RACmonitor investigative reporter. “They are tasked with improving patient outcomes, controlling costs, and meeting sustainable environmental goals.”

Roche, who will be the featured panelist during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays, believes that hospitals, in their quest for stability, have been nonetheless traumatized by the COVID-19 epidemic and a suffocating regulatory environment. Roche will also report on how many American hospitals now are in the midst of a digital transformation that is leading to an era of “smart hospitals” that will deliver unparalleled integration and improvements in all aspects of healthcare.
