Introduction
Patients in the 21st century require a holistic approach to meeting all their clinical, care and support needs. They need collaboration at all levels and across all sectors, including health, social care, housing.

In the wake of Covid, doctors and designers are radically adapting their thinking about what a hospital can be and what it should deliver.

The pandemic has accelerated some trends, such as the one to a “hospital without walls” – the hospital conceived as a digitally connected community rather than a circumscribed physical space. The twin pillars of digital health are electronic health records (EHRs), which allow patient information to be shared across health systems, and telehealth, which allows patients and physicians to communicate at distance.
