Healthcare Design - March 2015 - 26
tempting to repeat previous solutions that
once worked well but are not in tune with
today's greater concerns for patient comfort, efficiency, and sustainability," added
another healthcare architect.
But perhaps the biggest challenge to
innovation is simply knowing what needs
to be innovated and why. Where should
industry members focus time, effort, and
money on creating new solutions?
And where does it make more sense
to use what we know?
Healthcare Design turned to its
audience of industry professionals to
weigh in. The Innovation Survey was
conducted online November 2014
through January, with 398 respondents sharing their thoughts. Of those,
36.3 percent were from architecture
firms, 18.4 percent from healthcare
providers, and 15.4 percent from suppliers or vendors, with independent
consultants, engineering firms, interior
design firms, construction firms, educators, and landscape architecture
firms represented, as well.
Starting point
All building projects start at the
same point: identifying a provider's
goals. And the key to any innovation
is figuring out what it's meant to
accomplish. For survey respondents,
the single most important objective
for design programs was patient
outcomes, garnering 31.2 percent
of respondents' votes, followed by
patient satisfaction at 25.3 percent
and efficiency at 17.7 percent.
The most common secondary
objectives were patient satisfaction,
infection control, efficiency, and staff
satisfaction.
So how is the industry doing at supporting operations
and healthcare providers'
goals through innovation? For
the most part, just OK.
Respondents overwhelmingly selected that "some innovation" was happening across the board, from project planning
For survey respondents, the single
most important objective for design
programs was patient outcomes.
