There is a growing body of research that connects the built environment to safety and quality outcomes. However, this information can be difficult to access, interpret and apply. This webinar addresses the ongoing development of a set of interactive and visually engaging annotated diagrams that can help to improve patient, staff, organizational, and even community-wide outcomes within hospital, outpatient, clinical, and home-based environments. The visual translation of research and use of familiar language enables design professionals, healthcare providers, and the general public to quickly and easily understand the design strategies that can be implemented to improve safety and quality outcomes.
Gain familiarity with a resource that translates technical and complex research for design application.
Access information that links key design strategies with desired healthcare outcomes.
Discover the common safety and quality outcomes within a variety of healthcare environments.
Distinguish between user healthcare needs based upon age, ability and treatment in home-based environments.

Many attendees of The Center for Health Design’s webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting a verification certificate. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org
