Civilian and government healthcare systems are experiencing a broad crisis in maintaining the patient experience stemming from a wide web of world events and frayed interconnected resource dependencies that have reduced access to care while driving higher system costs. Unanticipated population migrations, the backlog of routine medical care, reduced access to care, lack of providers, and resource droughts have all contributed to uncertainty in healthcare infrastructure planning and operations that medical planners must navigate daily to restore future patient care and trust. This presentation seeks to provide the audience of health system architects, engineers, operators, and medical suppliers with an overview of how these problems intersect and to discuss mitigation factors needed to address the dislocated patient landscape.
