Collaboration and Teamwork in Healthcare Facilities
As healthcare transitions to a team-based approach, communication between healthcare personnel plays an increasingly important role in delivering quality patient care. Many environmental factors contribute to better communication, such as team spaces, functional paths, and visibility between people. Patient privacy and the importance of “heads-down” provider work are also at play. These factors create challenges for healthcare design.
Through our teamwork projects, we take a multi-faceted approach to understand the needs of healthcare workers in diverse systems to provide best practice guidelines.
