One of the biggest challenges healthcare staff members face is stress. There are myriad factors contributing to this challenge, but at its core, it is caused by the very reason healthcare exists -- to care for people. Every day, staff are dealing with emotional, high-stress and often traumatic situations involving patients and during COVID, it has been more extreme. There are few situations where healthcare workers can walk away, so they must deal with this stress continually in the moment and in the workplace. This is where biophilic design -- increasing connectivity to the natural environment -- can make a significant difference.

This webinar will focus on how we can use the elements of biophilic design to create meaningful work and restorative spaces to support staff in various environments within the healthcare workplace. Biophilic principals and case studies will be shared.

 

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the concepts of Biophilia and the benefits to the human experience.
  • Identify the physiological and emotional factors associated with providers and staff in the designed healthcare setting.
  • Describe the tools that can be utilized as design professionals incorporate Biophilia into project design.
  • Through case studies, learn how a variety of Biophilic principles have been utilized through design to improve the healthcare workplace.

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.
