Health Design Collaborative offers a unique service and design perspective rooted in a philosophy of teamwork and respect.
Our collaborators and strategic partners share a culture of service: to clients, to consultants with which we work, and to one other.
We design around the delivery of care. This means designing from the inside out to best enhance patient flow and experience, effective staff flow, and physician efficiency in patient visits per day. Since Primary Care providers are compensated on patient visits and services, emphasis is placed on Physicians Patients per Day and quality services offered. As today’s medical providers face competition and declining reimbursements rates, there is demand for even more efficiency in the way they practice and provide care.
Three basic fundamentals drive the HDC approach to healthcare facility design:
- The patient experience is fundamental to healthcare design.
- Hospitals are designed to maximize the use of natural light and materials.
- The rapid pace of change in the healthcare industry makes financial, operational, and design strategy critical to successful delivery of care.
- Help physicians and hospitals identify best practices
- Affect patient outcomes, staff satisfaction, & organizational behavior
- Strengthen a health system’s sense of mission, community, identity, and economic viability
