Where is the hospital going?

One of the real problems for the student of hospitals is that there is not really agreement on what a hospital is and what's it for. There is also very little research and even less evidence about where hospitals are going. What many futurologists like to say is that the hospital is a dinosaur and on its way out. However, just because something can happen doesn't mean it will, especially as dinosaurs were around for 125 million years. Most change is evolutionary and therefore more incremental and often slower than we think. In this presentation, an attempt will be made to apply some of the disciplines of evolutionary biology to hospitals.
