Constructing care: Global standardization lessons in healthcare builds

Most major industries globally, including healthcare, are experimenting with the latest emerging technologies to help drive better results and return on investment. Generative artificial intelligence is getting most of the press, but there are other technologies and capabilities, such as standardization, modularization and automation. While the attention is warranted, there is still a significant challenge in harnessing new technologies to move beyond the hype into offering proven practical value for healthcare providers, workers, end users and their communities. Global healthcare ecosystems provide the perfect opportunity for these technologies — if they’re paired with the right program, talent and functionality.
