What will we need hospitals for in 2030?

As the chief clinical officer of a health system that includes five hospitals, I start almost every day by asking myself the question, “What will we need hospitals for in 2030?” How much that we do today will be safely done either at home or in the ambulatory setting in the near future given advancements in point-of-care diagnostics, telehealth, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, robotics, drones, 3D printing, virtual reality, 5G, etc.?
