Healthcare systems are rethinking their next generation medical facilities, creating smaller, more accessible, value-driven buildings. This webinar will share case studies and lessons learned from new and emerging examples of care delivery, including microhospitals; virtual care centers; and innovative clinical care models that are more nimble, cost and operationally efficient, and respond more directly to patient expectations. The most recent in the Hospital ICONs series, this webinar spotlights projects exemplifying ground-breaking operational concepts, unique designs responding to the current medical marketplace, and new models of care delivery. Attendees will view important project data, interviews  with project leaders, architectural photography, and post-occupancy feedback on these innovative facilities.

 

Learning Objectives

  • Assess patient outcomes and experience from smaller and more efficient facilities.

  • Discover the effectiveness and appropriateness of smaller facilities.

  • Identify the role(s) these facilities play in larger health systems.

  • Explore the possibility that these facilities are part of the future of healthcare.
