Consider the needs of behavioral health patients in every healthcare space you design...
The mental health crisis around the world continues to grow at alarming rates that affects individuals of all ages, ethnicities and socio-economic positions.
These challenges reach far beyond the behavioral health unit into a myriad of care settings.
Now, more than ever, it is imperative that these settings respond to complexities of care, provide flexibility to fluid care needs, and offer equity to patients.
To meet the increased demand for care, support improved care and enhance staff safety, today’s design, facility and care professionals have to advance their understanding of the environment’s impact on behavioral healthcare and learn how to incorporate the best and latest design solutions throughout all healthcare settings.
This live, in-person workshop leverages discussions from across the industry, provides the latest in design thinking for behavioral and mental health care settings and offers state-of-the-art best practices through thought leader presentations, case studies and panel discussions. Attendees will have opportunities to pose questions to workshop faculty and interact with fellow attendees in fun and innovative ways.

Presentation – Understanding Operational Factors in Behavioral Healthcare: The Impact of Design on Staff Efficiency and Effectiveness
Behavioral health has a bad reputation for being unprofitable. Low reimbursables are the obvious culprit, but design is another significant driver. This presentation will demonstrate examples of design decisions that force providers to choose between good care and financial viability, and an action plan to design spaces that are optimized for operational efficiency and therapeutic effectiveness.
