June 14, 2022 | 2pm ET | Earn 1 AIA LU/HSW



Description

As health care systems are looking for innovative ways to bring hospital services to rural communities and neighborhoods, health care architecture is challenged to include all the requirements of a licensed 24/7 hospital within a footprint that is a fraction of a traditional hospital while simultaneously designing a community-friendly building that still reflects the healthcare system’s branding.

This course will present case studies of four micro-hospitals, each having its own unique solution while staying true to the micro-hospital model.

Learning objectives

  • Explore the micro-hospital definition regarding services, health care system integration, and location in provision of health care services not otherwise available.
  • Understand micro-hospitals' staffing model as integral for operational success in achieving efficiencies while providing best possible patient safety and comfort.
  • Avoid pitfalls of large hospital mindset leading to cost prohibitive delivery of care.
  • Review the different model realizations of micro-hospitals and the potential of micro-hospital as anchor to medical office building to provide enhanced services to the covered population.
