Condition Critical

Course Description

Clinicians are under pressure to provide exemplary care, yet ever-changing industry demands are contributing to the lowest level of engagement among their peers. You’ll hear the reasons why workplace design is an important factor in improving both the clinician’s and patient’s experience. You will also learn how workplace design can have a significant impact on clinician behaviors, attitudes, well-being, and ultimately organizational health. Finally, you will explore the implications of design for clinician resiliency, respite, and restoration.
