Lookout
While the pressure the U.S. healthcare market is
under shaped what was and wasn't seen in the
submissions this year, it's also influencing what
jurors anticipate is on the way-particularly when it
comes to the next wave of innovation.
"The delivery of care is changing. The innovation
will be dictated by data, technology, and the need
to be nimble, flexible, and responsive. Design and
delivery will be more in sync. Reduced waste will
apply to process and production," says Upali Nanda,
vice president and director of research for HKS and
executive director of the firm's nonprofit Center for
Advanced Design Research & Evaluation (Houston).
Saaty-Tafoya says her hope is that innovation will

generation that will rely heavily on IT in the care
delivery process. "We have some of this technology now in the form of health-monitoring devices,
but it's in the early days and we can expect a
new era of automation and advanced applications to shape healthcare service delivery and
facility design in the near future," Lambur says.
With reform and revenue influencing much
of what's been built in recent years, the exact
shape healthcare design will take-and the next
solutions to evolve into standards-is still up in the
air. "Our design industry believes the future to be
innovation, but its current state is still in transition,"
Stokes says. HCD

be illustrated in the evolution of building components.
"I would love to see more repurposed materials,
manufacturing techniques, and sustainable sources
for decreasing costs and increasing durability of
structural materials and finishes," she says, with other
jurors calling for the increased use of prefabrication
and modular building components.
Another inescapable piece of the future of healthcare is technology and fulfilling the needs of a digital

CHKD's goal was to fully renovate

The PICU department was

third floor of the hospital.
It was the design team's primary

and colorful environment for very
sick children while still promoting a

new rooms were also designed to
accommodate isolation patients, if

stressed-out parents during a very
difficult time.

station was completely demolished
and rebuilt on the same centralized
footprint. The juxtaposition of the

into a Northern Lights theme. The

The Northern

Lights concept
was continued
at the new family lounge area in
the wall colors, furnishings, and
artwork. The designers created a
space to decompress in a comfortable spa-like atmosphere. This
area includes a kitchenette and
sleep rooms with individual showers and toilets for those parents
staying with their children around
the clock.
The design team's objective was
met by providing a bright, appropriate design for the PICU department
that's been praised by the staff,
parents, and patients alike.
Solidifying the project's success,
