Executive Program

"IMPROVING OUTCOMES BY DESIGN: Building the Hospital of the 21st Century"

A program for healthcare executives and design firm principals developed and presented by The Center for Health Design and sponsored by Turner Healthcare. Since 2001, Turner has been supporting these executive programs — covering ground-breaking topics such as evidence-based design research, research examples, and putting the evidence into practice.

This brand new, two part, half-day program -- which has been developed by a multi-disciplinary group of healthcare and design experts -- starts by exploring the converging forces that are currently shaping the industry. Healthcare leaders will gain fresh insight into and understanding of how the design of the built environment is one of the revolutionary strategies that can optimize patient safety, quality, and satisfaction, as well as workplace safety, satisfaction, productivity, and energy efficiency.

Part two of the presentation takes a deep dive from the practitioner's perspective into how to implement an evidence-based design process, using the latest data from The Center's Pebble Project research initiative and current thinking coming out of our EDAC (Evidence-based Design Accreditation and Certification) program.
