The Unbundled Hospital

The hopsital has been at the center of health care; it was designed this way. However, the hospital has been unbundling for some time. Hospital discharge data and the rise of retail health are just some examples of this trend. Hospital stays are shorter and people are being released with the need for rehabilitation. This trend brings more care into the home and community. The hospital will be a key focal point for developing implications.
