Operating in a region of the U.S. where exceedingly high real estate costs constrain hospital expansion, Stanford Medicine Children’s Health began evaluating sensor technology in 2019 as an innovative tool that could enable them to optimize space utilization and increase capacity within the confines of existing building footprints.

The COVID-19 pandemic further escalated the need for creative, effective space utilization solutions to address rapidly changing demands, including mandates for social-distancing, capacity limitation, and to support staff working remotely. In response, advances in sensor technology accelerated, producing a range of new space utilization solutions and options.

This webinar, featuring a case study presented by three strategic space planning experts from Stanford Medicine Children’s Hospital, will provide an in-depth and behind-the-scenes examination of how sensor technology has changed the way space is analyzed, used, and assigned at Stanford. 

Presenters will share how they used proof-of-concepts to evaluate sensor technology and determine the best solutions, as well as best practices. They’ll share valuable lessons learned in developing a business case for sensor implementation, overcoming internal political challenges, and space sharing, closures and consolidations. Attendees will also see how sensors were integrated with a room reservation system for shared resources (i.e. consult rooms, sleep rooms, lactations spaces). 

Attendees will also obtain examples, dashboards, and reports for how space utilization data is being used to resolve space requests and determine how future spaces should be designed.

 

 

Learning Objectives

  • Describe lessons learned for how to assess and implement sensor technology that best meets organizational and clinical space needs.
  • Identify best practices for how to overcome internal political challenges and staff concerns.
  • Provide examples of how space utilization data can be used to understand current space usage and determine how future spaces should be designed.
  • Describe how sensor technology can influence design decisions that improve staff productivity, business outcomes, and financial ROI.

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. As of July 9, 2020, The Center for Health Design requires a CEU management fee for verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org.
