Paul Whitson is moderating a round table discussion with Neil Halpern, MD, Chief Critical Care Medicine Service, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at the Healthcare Design 08 conference in Washington DC.
HEALTHCARE DESIGN 08 is the premier conference devoted to how the design of responsible built environments directly impacts the safety, operation, clinical outcomes, and financial success of healthcare facilities now and into the future.
Paul and Neil will present this exciting new ICU that leverages design and technology to increase stakeholder participation, increases patient comfort and caregiver effectiveness, and utilizes limited space. Features include state-of-the-art equipment, wired and wireless communication technologies and finishes, individual staff work areas, and card-access pass through supply cabinets. Technologies, such as LCD privacy (e-glass), webcams and equipment "booms," allow flexibility in room layout, acuity level and treatment options, and improve infection control and facilitate room cleaning between patients.
