Abstract Introduction: Simulation-based hospital design testing (SbHDT) applied during the design of a healthcare facility ensures that the architectural design supports safe, high-quality, and efficient care delivery beyond applicable building code compliance. This prospective investigation assesses the financial impact of SbHDT in the form of cost avoidance.

Rather than cull through the 70,000 books on innovation or the billions of Google search results, join Dr. Ellen Taylor in this webinar about the sources of innovation in healthcare design. Dr. Taylor will outline the interplay between invention, inquiry and innovation, identify eight sources of innovation, and provide examples of the resulting innovations (or potential innovations) specific to healthcare design. By understanding the sources of innovation, we all may be better positioned to recognize opportunities for innovation.  

In this webinar, presenters will share how they are collaborating with a technology partner to use real-world data collected across ambulatory settings to inform decision making and continuous improvement across a project and asset portfolio life cycle.  

This webinar offers a unique opportunity to hear from Mardelle, and three of the book’s contributing authors, for a thoughtful and multi-faceted discussion on the role that designers, academics, and practitioners can have to achieve maximum societal contribution. They’ll explore peace endeavors at six scales of the physical environment: sustainable and equitable design, architecture/environmental psychology and interior design, and share their favorite examples of “peace projects.”

Join these visionary leaders who will share their real-world experiences and memorable stories from their work and leadership roles, and most importantly, a path forward towards opportunities for the future of Peace by Design.  

The upcoming Voices of the Industry webinar will feature a panel from the Pediatric Environment Network {PEN}, bringing together a diverse group of leaders with unique viewpoints. They will share insights from PEN’s recent activities including collaboration and case studies. This webinar will provide an overview of key trends, issues, and challenges in the field. Panelists will discuss their perspectives on the future of pediatric environments, and the audience will have the opportunity to participate and engage in the conversation.   

This webinar will explain how various environment-behavior studies can contribute to healthcare design through EB theories, models, frameworks, and research methods. In addition, this webinar elaborates on the linkages between EB studies and evidence-based design theory development and research. The presenter will also explain research-practice integration through healthcare case studies demonstrating how projects have explicitly or implicitly utilized these theories.
