Over the past decade, the evolution of healthcare economics has seen dramatic, and often revolutionary changes, profoundly impacting how healthcare is funded, delivered and received. 

These ever-changing economic conditions have a collective influence on the built environment. 

Key trends, including liquidity, surging costs, the labor crisis, mergers and acquisitions, and the influence of venture capital are predicted to continue impacting healthcare and healthcare design for years to come.

This Voices of the Industry panel discussion offers a unique opportunity to hear from industry thought leaders who will explain the current state of affairs and the macro trends impacting the industry, helping the audience decipher the financial undercurrents and anticipated headwinds. 

They’ll also share insights on how healthcare fiscal policy and execution is evolving, and offer implications for designers to engage with their clients in creating short- and long-term paths forward.

 

 

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the current financial and economic conditions that will shape future projects in very different ways and how they will alter design outcomes.
  • Demonstrate that business as usual is not likely economically sustainable - reshaping decision-making parameters and changing how firms go to market and craft design philosophies. 
  • Increase awareness of the current healthcare financial status and immediate forecasts.
  • Discover the current market pressures related to healthcare operations and other drivers of healthcare architecture.

 

 

VOICES is The Center for Health Design’s premier visionary discussion forum. These hosted interactive webinar panels engage key leaders, from across our industry in discussions that address critical issues, trends, and opportunities of importance in Healthcare and the future of the built environment.

  • Each session will feature a panel of exemplars who will share their experiences from their unique perspectives with a guided discussion and facilitated Q&A.
  • The facilitated format will have extended Q&A with live chat from virtual attendees, post-session recording, and chat notes available.
  • The series's goals are to help individuals and organizations make a difference by illuminating key opportunities, strategies, and innovations while providing a clear link to helpful and thought-provoking resources at the end of each session.

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.  For further details about how to self-report CEUs to IDCEC, please CLICK HERE.  

 

**As of July 9, 2020, The Center requires a CEU management fee for AIA credits and verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org with any questions.
