Executive Summary:
Successful stewardship of a healthcare organization is without a
doubt challenging in a world full of change and where human
environments forever need attention. In this context, stewards of the
transformation process must be open to the innovations available when
facility and culture-change agents engage in continuous conversation.
They must also consider the possibilities afforded by joint
optimization of facility design and the process of culture change.
This paper presents inspirational examples of the exponential value
of proactively engaging multiple disciplines in creating safe and
effective environments for care. More importantly, the stories address
the benefits of productive dialogue between agents of culture change
and those involved with facility design. And, ultimately, illustrate
how evidence-based design now validates what many of us have
intuitively known - that organizations will only thrive if they create
a culture of engagement and dialogue.
