Now it's easy to learn the latest in healthcare design and construction with the Details in Design: Healthcare Facility Design & Construction Series. Each 60-minute CD features a panel of experts and comes complete with a step-by-step Power Point presentation to follow along with. They also have the opportunity to earn valuable continuing education credits, including CHFM and CHSP, with all 5 CDs in the series.
Program #1: Supersized Healthcare: Creating Healing Environments for Obese Patients
Many factors have driven recent changes in the surgical environment design from increased privacy requirements for patients to ever changing technology. Several key factors have had the greatest impact, such as the shift from separate Pre-op and PACU units to a merged environment, as well as the increased use of minimally invasive surgical techniques, which have spurred the increased size of Operating Rooms. The greatest recent evolution comes from the co-location of the surgical and interventional arenas.
Obesity is a significant healthcare concern in the United States. More and more healthcare organizations offer the morbidly obese population a “new lease on life” through bariatric surgery programs. Surgical procedures that facilitate controlled, medically supervised weight loss are increasing throughout the country.
Specialty programs, such as bariatric surgery, create unique design challenges and opportunities. These issues, as well as trends in obesity incidence rates, and hospital initiates designed to meet the needs of these patients, and the staff taking care of them, will be addressed during the program.
Program #2: Healthcare Facility Construction – Renovate or Build New?
In order to debate the pros and cons of renovation versus new construction, one must first qualify and quantify the scope of a project. Since there are many types of renovations/expansions, the decision usually will depend upon the size, complexity and age of each key planning unit or support service under evaluation as to whether an owner decides to renovate or build new. Additions/renovations can range from expanding the number of operating rooms in an existing OR suite, to expanding a whole emergency department (both are common requests), to the more simple projects such as adding more storage capacity to an existing materials management area.
However, a much larger decision comes when an owner is trying to decide whether to renovate and expand their existing facility in place, or to build a new replacement hospital. Quick rush to judgment to proceed may lead to substantial unexpected operational and financial outcomes which might unnecessarily further burden the long-term viability of the institution.
This program will provide an opportunity to discuss with recognized experts the process and the resources necessary for this significant decision.
Program #3: Ambulatory Care Facility Planning and Design
This presentation will explore the "From Thought to Finish" steps of developing an Ambulatory Care/Ambulatory Surgery Center. Attendees will learn the important pre-project steps of Strategic Fit, Owner Readiness and Financial Feasibility as well as those activities that take place during the design, construction and opening phases.
Program #4: Planning and Designing Healthcare Facilities for Children
In order to create a warm and comforting atmosphere for children's hospitals, architects and facility managers must put themselves inside the mind of a child. However, designing a pediatric facility doesn't mean just designing for toddlers. Users of these facilities span from age 0 to 18 and sometimes, due to the nature of some illnesses, even older than 18. So how do you incorporate imagery, navigational signs, and a sense of home that is joy giving to both the toddler who cannot yet read and the 18 year old? Join us as we discuss critical issues that should be addressed when designing a pediatric unit that is patient, family and staff friendly.
Program #5: Infection Control During Construction and Renovation
Every Healthcare Facility is at an increased risk of infection when any construction project gets underway. Before you start any construction project, you must have an excellent infection control program in place. This presentation is a must before your next construction project.
