Healthcare Codes

Physicians, nurses, patient representatives, and architects will have the opportunity to learn from each other and collaboratively redesign the way we address key issues in the ED.

The Guidelines for Healthcare Design and Construction, for many years, has included tables listing minimum requirements for the number of electrical, medical gas, and nurse call devices at various locations throughout a healthcare facility... Time to re-examine these requirements through more research with healthcare facilities.

We are launching a program to bring together clinicians from around the country, to work with teams of designers to identify opportunities for improved outcomes at the nexus of health delivery, patient experience, and infrastructure. The first event, September 18, will focus on the Emergency Department--"Reimagining the ED" Design Workshop.
