PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP | 2024 PDC SUMMIT

  • “What is evidence-based design (EBD)?”
  • “How can it improve health, safety and business outcomes?”
  • “What do I need to know to start using EBD in my practice or on my next project?” 

This interactive, four-hour, pre-conference workshop will provide you with an introduction to an Evidence-Based Design (EBD) process and offer practical guidance to get you started. Using a blend of educational content and experiential activities, this workshop will teach you about the EBD process, how to find and apply research to determine design interventions and strategies, and how to gather data to evaluate and continuously improve your outcomes. 

As financial pressures and performance expectations increase, new healthcare construction and major renovation projects are challenged to justify the project and demonstrate effectiveness and return on investment after completion.

To support healthcare executives in making the business case for their design and construction decisions, there exists a vast and growing body of knowledge that links the design of the physical environment with a wide range of measurable improvements.

By applying an evidence-based design process, health systems can maximize their capital investment by quantifiably improving patient safety, quality, and satisfaction, enhancing workforce recruitment and retention and producing a multi-year return on investment.

Attendees will receive an EBD Toolkit to prepare you to be a better client or partner. Project examples that illustrate the application of and the business case for using the EBD process in a variety of settings will also be shared.
