DON THOMAS
The principal and director
of interior design at BWBR
discusses the top five trends
and issues getting his attention
right now
1. DESIGNING
BEYOND BIG DATA
Healthcare providers
have been sending
out a clear call to the
design community to be
better listeners. They're
asking us to not only
create safe, functional,
and sustainable healing
environments based on
data (that's now a given
baseline), but also to be
keenly focused on helping create an experience
that enables an authentic
and meaningful patient
and care team partnership. This call means
we need to dispel our
certainties of solutions
and work hard at being
excellent listeners to patients-to really hear their
stories and design with
compassion, empathy,
and love.
fascinating to understand
that we're just beginning
to comprehend the significant effect mental health
has on just about every
aspect of healthcare and
related industries.
design and is key to
more effectively familiarize teams with new
ways of working and to
reinforce process and
cultural changes.
4. THINKING OUTSIDE
3. HUMAN COMMIS-
THE SILO
2. BEHAVIORAL
SIONING IS KEY
HEALTH'S IMPACT
We utilize building
commissioning to verify
that all the systems work
optimally and efficiently
together. Seldom, however, do we consider
commissioning end-users
on how to actually use
their new environments.
This phase is a planned
series of events for all
staff to showcase process
change, integrated
technology, and unique
Imagine an inpatient
room that becomes an ED
exam room or overflow
post-recovery room-all
within a 24-hour period.
Dedicated spaces that are
used only two hours per
day might be a thing of
the past. Hospitals can't
afford to have expensive
spaces, technology, and
trained personnel sit
idle. We need to think of
spaces as multipurpose
and extremely flexible.
For a sector so long forgotten, behavioral health
is having a big impact on
healthcare design today.
Creative design solutions
in behavioral health
facilities are now being
applied to collaborative
care, such as behavioral health services in
primary care, innovative
ED models, and addiction/recovery centers. It's
5. IS OUR DESIRE FOR
EVIDENCE RISKING
INNOVATION?
In such a dynamic and
ever-changing industry
as healthcare, the only
areas of innovation
open to design seem to
be in operations, Lean,
or processing. If that's
true, we're in danger
of "tweaking" our way
to mediocre solutions.
We absolutely need
to use the evidence
and research data of
the built environment
on healthcare and the
healthcare experience,
but we also need more
intentional balance
early in the process to
find innovation through
design.
