Efficient workflows and physician and staff support areas are creating a more collaborative workforce culture, which has become a magnet for recruiting top talent. Incorporating organizational values that translate into a facility design can shape a high-performing culture. 

Designing an environment that fosters collaborative, team-based care and an approach with efficiently designed clinical areas, allows nurses to spend more time with their patients. A positive work environment with amenities and staff respite space throughout, including access to gardens, patios, and daylight, can reduce stress and promote healing for patients, families and workforce. This webinar will offer strategies and best practices to foster these environments and case study examples demonstrating this approach. 

 

Learning Objectives

  • Examine design strategies to promote and support colleagues, physicians, and patient safety using technology, infrastructure, and enhanced processes.
  • Design a great place to work, where physicians and colleagues desire to practice at the medical campus and recommend it as the regional healthcare facility of choice.
  • Increase value and satisfaction for patients and families, physicians, and colleagues.
  • Establish elements of design standardization throughout the hospital for increased caregiver efficiency and safety.

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.
