Here’s what we’ve heard from the experts: healthcare has undergone a dramatic transformation in the past five years. As populations age, the demand for healthcare continues to rise. The coming years will focus on adjusting systems to address these needs while fostering environments that support the well-being of both staff and patients. Some key insights and trends in healthcare include...
-The healthcare Market is experiencing large scale hospital expansions and demand for outpatient facilities and medical offices.
-We are seeing long project cycles with significant back up due to capacity and new technologies impacting health services.
-Prefabrication and modular construction is on the rise as project timelines remain tight.
-Senior living and specialty care are lagging in recovery due to resource constraints.
Healthcare systems are diligently focused on:
-Streamlining operations and reducing costs to reallocate resources to increased staff pay.
-Mergers and acquisitions to transition to alternative care and outpatient facilities.
-Patient and Staff experience including and holistic care solutions.
