The coronavirus pandemic was an unprecedented, disruptive event for all industries, but perhaps no sector was impacted more than healthcare, where workers and facilities directly bore the brunt of caring for their communities.

The past year upended so much in the medical arena, from how patients interact with their caregivers to the pipeline of new healthcare building projects. The pandemic is likely to have long-lasting repercussions not only on how doctors interact with their patients but on how general contractors, architects and developers view the healthcare space.

Today, healthcare organizations face multiple facility-related challenges as they adapt to meet changing patient needs. Along with purchasing the right technology to meet skyrocketing telehealth demands, hospitals must be able to keep up with the growing popularity of outpatient care facilities, the need for flexible space options and the increasing use of prefab and modular building options, among other major trends.
