MICHAEL MCLANE PHOTOGRAPHY, COURTESY OF TAYLOR DESIGN L E FT: With consideration for the patient experience upon arrival, the UCSF Heart & Vascular Center, which opened in April and consolidated the system's cardiovascular services under the roof of a multidisciplinary clinic, is designed so that patients are immediately greeted by a staff member and a panoramic view of San Francisco. T O P : An offstage hallway and shared work space in the staff hub of the UCSF Heart & Vascular Center allow direct access to patients via doors in the back of the exam rooms. The exam room also has a second door for patient use. A B O VE : An offstage staff hub is just outside an exam room at the UCSF Heart & Vascular Center. The onstage/offstage design delineates between the public-facing spaces and staff and clinician-only spaces. NOVEMBER 2016 61
