Description
Building a replacement children's hospital in an urban site offered unique challenges to the design team from Lurie Childrens Hospital, a member of the Pebble Project. Hear how the design team worked with program and care providers to develop innovative clinical and operational processes that overcome the vertical and horizontal challenges and provide a safe, effective health care environment. This session will enable you to-
• Explain, using examples from the case study, how building height affects health care processes and patient outcomes to ensure these issues are addressed during project planning.
• Collaborate with patient care providers to develop clinical and operational processes that address the challenges of multi-level health care facilities, using examples from the case study.
• List the aspects of health care facility design, as shown in the case study, that a project team may need to adapt when designing a multi-level health care facility.
• Explain the importance of planning, as shown in the case study, for delivering a health care facility project that supports quality patient care and staff effectiveness.

  • Appreciate the impact of the vertical hospital form on medical planning and design.
  • Gain insight into the potential opportunities for research on this vertical model and its implications for future projects.
  • Understand the impact of the vertically organized hospital on clinical operations.
