Dialogue Details
Design standard or design guideline – what’s the difference?
The development and use of design standards has evolved over time. Originally, these standards were used as a starting point and basis for the design of health care facilities. Today, they have become increasingly more important and are used to improve project delivery, reduce maintenance and life cycle costs, and support care delivery.
This webinar offers a unique opportunity to hear from leaders in the healthcare industry, who will provide examples about how they create and use design standards that apply to health systems of all sizes, space types, furnishings, the building envelope and different operational models. They’ll discuss how often standards are updated, what drives the need for new standards and most importantly, share their point of view on why standards will continue to be beneficial and change the design process in the future.
This panel is comprised of members of The Center for Health Design Built Environment Network (BEN), a group of executive-level professionals who are dedicated to improving safety, quality, and sustainability in healthcare.

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. For further details about how to self-report CEUs to IDCEC, please CLICK HERE.
**As of July 9, 2020, The Center requires a CEU management fee for AIA credits and verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org with any questions.
