Hospitals of the future

The need for service improvement at public sector hospitals is undeniable. In the future, public hospitals will face an array of socio-economic challenges, which together will present an unprecedented burden on the public sector.

Budget cuts will force hospitals to save money where possible. Hospitals will be understaffed. The elderly population will increase, as will the incidence of lifestyle diseases. And private hospitals, with their increasingly optimised service offering, will present tough competition.

Change at Denmark's largest hospital
Designit, Scandinavia's largest integrated strategic design consultancy, was asked to apply service design at Denmark's largest public hospital, Odense University Hospital (OUH).

The project resulted in Patient House - a service design concept, to be implemented at a new department at OUH. It will also provide inspiration for the new OUH building, due to reach completion in 2018.

The groundbreaking service innovation is expected to serve as a blueprint for future public healthcare improvements - in Denmark and abroad.
