Description
Clinical and professional healthcare input and expertise is vital to the design process. Architecture firms may engage client staff, clinical consultants, or internal specialists in the desire to create an informed design that meets the requirements of all stakeholders. However, in reality, user groups are often poorly attended or misunderstood, finding the right clinical advisor may be elusive, and/or hiring full-time clinicians on staff may be cost prohibitive. What is the return on investment on desired outcomes when the clinical perspective is included in a shared decision-making model? And what are the real risks when it is? Learn the value of different approaches to understanding the intrinsic requirements of your clients, their staff, and patients through a subject- matter expert presentation. A follow-up panel discussion will share stories of success on the topic. The concluding workshop activity will provide skill-building practice through case-study role-play to demonstrate what works and what doesn't at what cost. This workshop is presented by NIHD
