and delivered to the facility
during the construction pro-
cess. This technology infra-
structure is vital to medical
facilities today, as health
care systems digitally track
patients, staff and equip-
ment as a standard prac-
tice. Designing and building
technology systems that
allow health care providers
to safely share patient infor-
mation digitally between
doctors onsite or remotely to
larger health care systems
also is a requirement for
stand-alone facility owners.
As contractors, we need
to understand the owner
goals, both current and
future, for their stand-alone
medical facilities. It’s also
our responsibility to review
all possible scenarios with
the owner and assure they
understand their options
and choices before we build
the finished product.▲

Designing for the Future of Care
Top of mind for many seniors is
their quality of care as they age.
Looking to the future, technology is
playing a large part in how people
access and receive health care. Tele-
medicine services offer seniors (and
everyone) access to doctors and
nurses from within their homes,
which can be a big help to those for
whom mobility can be a challenge.
For residents with memory care
needs, virtual reality integration is
becoming a viable option for access-
ing memories. Through a pair of
VR goggles, people can virtually
experience places where they grew
up, or locations of life events like
honeymoons and family reunions.
Much like music therapy helps con-
nect people to memories via aural
stimulation, connecting to memories
through visual cues can be soothing
for those in memory care situations.
While innovation and creation
may seem like terms reserved for
youth, the future hinges on design-
ing for the aging. The need to design
communities, mobility options and
amenities for an aging population
will affect all of us in the coming
decade, and embracing technol-
ogy and innovation will help create
thriving communities for us all. ▲
