Nemours Children’s Hospital set out to expand cardiac services by adding a 30-bed unit and two ORs. The Integrated Facility Design (IFD) approach took a team of hospital and design professionals and patient family members through a series of engaging interactive workshops to design, experience, and test the space before it was built. Through team exercises, construction of a full-scale “cardboard city,” and testing clinical scenarios, Nemours attained significant gains in efficiency and improvements in patient and staff satisfaction. Join this webinar and hear how the IFD process was followed by smooth construction and occupancy processes that allowed the project to be accomplished within budget, with virtually no change orders, and ahead of schedule.

 

Learning Objectives

  • Review the core principles, elements, and methods of Integrated Facility Design.
  • Discuss the benefits and added value of the IFD application in healthcare environments.
  • Outline the challenges and lessons learned during the cardiac service expansion.
  • Examine the impact of the IFD approach on staff and patients using the post-occupancy data.

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.
