Abstract: Modern trends in the society development such as population
growth, increase of longevity, development of medical technologies and
trend of business digitalization require adaptation of the services offered by
health organizations to the new conditions The article provides a reference model of a health organization based on the Smart Hospital concept.
Keywords: Smart hospital, AI-artificial intelligence, ecosystem, re-engineer, digital hospital, HER- electronic health record.

   INTRODUCTION
   

Smart hospitals combine state-of-the art hospital design with the latest virtual care technology, AI-driven decision support, connected IT sensors and robotics, all interconnected by digital platforms to fundamentally re-engineer how care is delivered across a health ecosystem. This redefines the way patients consume care from their smartphones to a smart hospital and beyond. In a smart hospital, people, the environment and systems are connected in real time. The vast amounts of data generated through this interconnectivity are used in intelligent ways to improve the quality of core processes of personalized and safe patient care and efficient, high-performance [1].

   MAIN PART
   

“Digital hospital” was firstly introduced with the aim of transferring paper-based systems and patient files to electronic helath records (EHR)[2]. Afterwards, the triple concept of care, health and cost was developed in 2007, emphasizing on improvement of care and health while decreasing related costs in every healthcare organization [3].With the increased acceptance of EHR among the healthcare society, a large volume of clinical and financial data was produced which resulted in improved clinical research, better decision-making for managers and highlighting the need for technological maturity in that era [4]. With the approval of The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act in 2009, this use increased exponentially [4, 5]. After a while, the world “digital” was slowly replaced with “smart” and the initial attempts for developing smart hspitals were started and many research studies and operational projects were conducted in this field [6].

Traditional hospitals that successfully complete the transformation to becoming a smart hospital can radically improve the patient experience, personalize medical treatment, better utilize scarce and expensive resources, and greatly minimize errors.It is almost impossible to think about a non-digital world today. digital technologies have changed our life style and they have also affected many domains including health domain. We are all aware that paperbased hospitals have changed a lot to be paper-less. Then a new term was born which is “smart hospital” and studies have been conducted in this eld, so this study was designed to conduct a comprehensive review about smart hospitals.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Hospitals have a wide range of assets that are essential for their operation and thus need to be protected. While some smart hospital assets are also relevant in traditional hospitals, others are quite characteristic of smart hospitals since they are intelligently connected and able to take decisions autonomously. Among these assets are, for instance, mobile client devices, identification systems and interconnected clinical information systems. The specific assets that characterise smart hospitals are at the focus of this section. The concept of smart hospital is a complex and vast concept and achieving it requires years of cooperation between multidisciplinary teams and following various medical standards. Although this concept has yet to reach its ideal maturity in the current era, due to the rapid technological advances, this future for healthcare services seems reachable. Furthermore, one must notice that implementation of smart tools in hospitals should not be considered as the same as achieving a smart hospital. Moreover, since implementation of smart hospital requires a great deal of investment and has a long return of investment duration, therefore, it is expected that academic researchers with limited budgets are only able to develop and implement smart tools in hospital settings. As a result, development of a smart hospital is only possible by large and credible companies.
