treatments, and support services-occur in the
suite, " explains Dr. Suresh Ramalingam, executive
director of Winship Cancer Institute
of Emory University. " We wanted to create the
best possible patient experience and an environment
that promotes healing. "
FROM VISION TO REALITY
The process of translating the patient-centered
care vision into a physical building was helped
considerably by cardboard mock-ups of each
floor, constructed one by one in a nearby warehouse
during the planning stages. " It wasn't
just a portion of the floor, but the entire floor, "
May says. " This allowed the team to spend
time in the space to confirm flow, relationships,
room sizes, etc. The care teams ran scenarios
and exercises that drilled all the way
down into details of equipment layouts, millwork,
and more. "
The decision to group populations according
to cancer types provides benefits to both
patients and staff, and it started with the recognition
that " cancer " is a big tent: " No one gives
you a diagnosis of 'cancer.' You get a specific
type of diagnosis, which looks different for each
patient, " Treu says.
For patients, the care communities, which
are connected by two-story communal lobbies,
provide an opportunity to interact (as
much or as little as they want) with others who
can relate specifically to their diagnosis. For
clinicians, it's a setup that maximizes consultation
and coordinated care. " Cancer care often
requires multiple types of treatments with

specialists from various medical disciplines, " Ramalingam says. " The
idea was to design the space to best enable that collaboration. "
PATIENT-CENTERED DESIGN
On the outpatient floor of each care community, the patient has a universal
room where they'll be tended by various clinicians during the visit as
needed. In addition to the core disciplines of radiation oncology, radiology,
surgery, pathology, hematology and medical oncology, and pharmacy,
the room might also support consultations with everyone from dieticians
