What do you think is a pressing issue/controversy today with healthcare design?

There are many important issues impacting the healthcare design field today. Changing technology, changing reimbursement and insurance profiles, improvements in infection control, new marketing strategies, evolving delivery methods, and changing demographics are just a few. The financing of how we meet these changing needs is the most pressing issue.
