This session explores how resilient digital design enables healthcare environments to withstand disruption while sustaining clinical care and operational performance. Drawing on lessons from complex healthcare projects, the presentation examines integrated technology planning across Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS), automation, Electronic Health Record (EHR) integration, and cybersecurity to support reliability, interoperability, and adaptability in modern hospitals. Participants will learn strategies for embedding redundancy, scalability, and resilience directly into the design process so care delivery remains uninterrupted during outages or system strain. The discussion emphasizes cross-disciplinary collaboration among architecture, engineering, and informatics, reframing resilience beyond system uptime to include human factors, equity, and compassionate access to technology-enabled care. Through real-world examples, attendees will gain a practical framework for designing healthcare facilities where technology not only supports operations, but also reinforces safety, empathy, and the patient-care mission in every scenario.
