IRCAD recently hosted a working group from the National Academy of Medicine to discuss “Hospital Architecture of the Future.” Professor Jacques Marescaux shared his vision for evolving care organization and technological innovation. The delegation toured the Baxter-built “Smart Operating Room,” a futuristic environment featuring no-touch screens and advanced telecommunications for telesurgery. We thank M. Gandjbakhch, M. Richard, M. Langevin, M. Agathon, and M. Lajonchère for these insightful exchanges.
