The vision changed and the team stepped back to reimagine a unit to support their needs and the needs of patients and families.

UK Healthcare Kentucky Children's Hospital NICU (HGA)
The University of Kentucky Children’s Hospital NICU reimagined how a NICU could deliver better patient outcomes. To educate the team about the latest research, a mother-baby consultant, lighting specialists, researchers, and acousticians were added to the team and “Voice of the Customer” focus groups were held. The final design included single family rooms that supported family centered care with spaces for privacy which allowed families to adjust and transition to going home with infants that needed additional care.
