We've added to the web site the slides from the opening plenary presentation, "Becoming an Architect of Healing." Leland Kaiser, PhD illustrated how health care professionals can serve as architects of healing, designing care based on the qualities they want to elicit in patients. Take a moment and view this presentation.
It's coming! All attendees at the conference will receive the first copies of the executive summary of Evidence for Innovation.
This summary is your first look at the product of a visionary partnership - between NACHRI and the Center for Health Design. It is a comprehensive review of evidence-based design in pediatric settings and it presents a solid business case to gain support for these elements in your hospital. Finally, it gives you specific recommendations on how you can implement these principles in your next building or retrofit project.
All conference participants will receive a copy of the full report in late May. Copies also may be ordered through the NACHRI Web site.
View the Executive Summary in PDF and other NACHRI Transformation by Design resources.
