With no known precedent, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia pursued a vision to develop a new pediatric patient care unit: one that would meet the requirements and licensure of an acute care unit, but would provide a safe and supportive environment for patients with a comorbid developmental, behavioral, or psychiatric diagnosis. A multidisciplinary team worked together to envision, plan, and design an environment to support a new model of care for this unique population. Key elements of the project—a remodel of an existing unit—include patient, family, and staff health; circadian lighting; biophilic design; and safety.

 

Learning Objectives

  • Hear the about the patient needs that drove the development of the MBU concept.
  • Identify what unique programmatic and design elements differentiate the MBU from a typical acute care unit.
  • Explore how circadian lighting is implemented to improve patient and staff health and well-being.
  • Summarize the unique model of care and design developed for the MBU.
