Healthcare Design - September 2016 - 65
at the onset of change,
people translate the need
for respite with a private
office space, and that's
not the case."
The four-story building
has room for approximately 60 employees per
floor, 25 of those being
physicians. A systems
furniture solution was
designed to provide a
thick work wall along the
corridor, creating a buffer
from patient corridors,
says Josie Briggs, senior
associate and interior
designer with NBBJ.
Each four-person pod
offers designated seating
and open work spaces.
Low acoustic partitions
between pods maximize
communication among
the 12 to 17 pods per
floor. A white noise or
sound-masking system
is installed around each
teaming area.
"It provides an even,
almost imperceptible
level of background
noise that masks adjacent
conversations. This
system is used in both
the open work pod
areas and at the exam
rooms, where the system
dampens sound from
adjacent exam rooms,"
Briggs says. "Sounds
may still be heard from
adjacent spaces, but
they are audible, not
intelligible." The pod
system allowed the walls
to have fewer layers of
drywall and didn't have
to extend to the underside
of the floor slab above,
thereby saving cost and
preserving flexibility. "It
protects you from the
hubbub of the clinic,"
Shafaie says. "We've
laid it out where we can
make modifications with
furniture change, rather
than structure change."
From their work pods,
team members directly
observe patients in exam
rooms, quickly determining when the patient
is ready for a medical
assistant or a physician.
Patient histories and
preliminary intakes are
collected and discussed
between the medical assistant and the
physician before the
physician enters the
exam room. From the
pod vantage point,
staff may spot and
promptly intervene
when the patient lingers
post-appointment,
perhaps wanting to talk
further with the doctor
or to receive assistance
exiting the area. Other
before-and-after staff
conversations occur
in real time thanks to
impromptu huddles
among staff situated in
the four-person pods.
"Workspaces that
support employee efficiency-that make their
work easier, quicker,
leaner-provide direct
benefits to patients and
the public. Staff's ability
to work more productively means they have
more time to give to the
patients and families,"
says Sarah Markovitz,
principal with NBBJ.
