DESCRIPTION

Facility design developed with Lean principles in mind reduces long-term operating costs, increases patient and staff satisfaction, and improves clinical quality and outcomes. Just back from the Healthcare Design Conference in San Diego, SIMUL8’s Brittany Hagedorn will share insights from discussions with architects and designers, and share real life examples of how simulation has been used to improve layout design. We’ll also showcase LeanHDX, designed for architects and planners, to create evidence-based healthcare facility designs that both eliminate waste and maximize performance. Register today and join us as we explore how simulation is transforming healthcare facility design. If you're unable to attend don't worry, you can still register to receive access to the workshop recording and slides.

Session Tracks

There were session tracks for many focus

areas of design, including interests such as:

Evidence Based Design Research

Improving the Patient & Family Experience

Designing for Wellness

Optimal Operations

Lean Methodologies & Simulations

SIMUL8 Corporation | SIMUL8.com | info@SIMUL8.com

Design Methodology Survey

1. Do you consider process flow when

developing your layout?

2. Do you use Lean principles when

designing a healthcare space?

3. Do you currently use a tool to help you do

this?

Happening Today

The Current State of Healthcare Design

SIMUL8 Corporation | SIMUL8.com | info@SIMUL8.com

What do we mean by “Design”?

Intentional decision making about a

spatial layout and flow through a built

environment.

SIMUL8 Corporation | SIMUL8.com | info@SIMUL8.com

Many Challenges

Only one

chance to do

it right.

Lack of

quantifiable

assessment

tools.

ROI is difficult

to calculate.

Long time

horizons for

investment.

Are EBD

conclusions

widely

applicable?

Minimal

feedback

loop.

Rapidly

evolving

facility needs.

Large capital

and financing

needs.

Evolution or Revolution?

LeanHDX: Design with Your Process in Mind

SIMUL8 Corporation | SIMUL8.com | info@SIMUL8.com SIMUL8 Corporation | SIMUL8.com | info@SIMUL8.com

Is incremental improvement to the

way we do design enough?

Or do we need to fundamentally

rethink our approach?

Evolution or Revolution?

SIMUL8 Corporation | SIMUL8.com | info@SIMUL8.com

Background:

• Inpatient pharmacy rehab.

• To reduce errors, installed an automated picking system.

• Successfully prevented adverse drug events!

• Created physical mock-ups to ensure adequate space.

Challenges:

• No way to adequately test demand timing & queuing.

• Resulted in large queues for the picking system because two

terminals were not enough to meet demand.

Case: Patient Safety

SIMUL8 Corporation | SIMUL8.com | info@SIMUL8.com

Background:

• Outpatient MRI facility (expansion)

• Only had funds to do 2 mock-ups

• Tested zone layouts in order to prevent metal accidentally

entering the MRI area

Challenges:

• Only the most likely scenarios were tested;

• Unable to test additional creative layout ideas;

• Unable to test process timing, so ended up building changing

rooms that were unnecessary

Case: Cardboard is Expensive

Comments from the Field

Once the project budget is

set, there is not usually

additional money – so we

have to find ways to get

creative with what we have.

We only have one

chance to do this, so

it has to be right the

first time.

I need more ways to

“try before I buy”

my new layouts.

I am an architect –

but I no longer

design buildings. I

design systems.

In the past, I only pulled out

“the big guns” [simulation] for

the really important projects.
