Delivered in an Integrated Design Event (IDE) style, this hands-on focused approach utilized full-size mock-ups, allowing for brainstorming ideas and challenging the status quo. This Lean approach to design also allowed for testing the seven flows of healthcare. This challenged the existing facility solution, current operational approaches to clinical services, identified operational savings, and potential patient and staff satisfaction opportunities. We used space syntax to place the care team stations in higher visibility areas, potentially increasing the probability of impromptu conversation and teamwork. The resulting design layout included four large, centralized care team stations.
