Conclusions: Challenges for hospitals of the future Martin McKee, Sherry Merkur, Nigel Edwards and Ellen Nolte.ReviewsThe changing role of the hospital in European health systems gives an accurate picture of the changes taking place. Particularly well illustrated by key fields of transformation, it helps the reader clarify the complex landscape of hospital care. Pascal Garel, Chief Executive, European Hospital and Healthcare Federation (hope) Recent experience shows that advances in medical and information technology, far from making hospitals obsolete, increase our dependence on them and they are here to stay. While the conclusion of this thoughtful volume is that it is impossible to know what the hospitals of the future will look like, the authors nonetheless highlight the main societal and technological influences that will shape them. Those responsible for our future planning, if their crystal ball is hazy, could do no better than consult this lucid account of these key factors.
