Planning + Design
Designers hold the keys for unlocking health outcomes through efficient and safer staff movement. This session will demonstrate how staff time gets “trapped or squandered” in traditional and even newer plans. The presenter will trouble shoot 8 design criteria including: distances traveled by shift; room and bathroom safety; Covid-mitigation, materials movement; and staff collaboration. View designs that facilitate comfortable dining, intuitive memory enhancement, and getting outside. Obtain new design tools by viewing early example case studies, tracking capital and operating costs, and using 2-dimensional mock-ups early in planning. Finally inspire sponsors, staff, and designer/engineering and regulatory peers to use Lean Design for more meaningful staff outcomes and improved caregiving.
