    While the term “collaboration” is widely used, there’s buzz behind the buzzword. Effective collaboration among owners, architects and contractors is crucial to the successful planning, design and execution of a project. However, what does it mean to truly collaborate? And how does true collaboration lead to higher quality projects that benefit the owner? Challenged by a 48-month timeline to bring 850,000 square feet to life, as well as the pandemic, the team designing and construction Baptist Health Care’s new campus in Pensacola, Florida, thought beyond the typical design-build process and implemented innovative and creative collaboration strategies for success. The project opened on time in September 2023, largely thanks to enhanced collaboration which led to more than 25 early award packages and construction starting just six months after design began. During this presentation, representatives from the owner, program manager, designer and contractor will use this real life example to share the collaboration strategies and tools used to meet this aggressive schedule and provide a superior end product for the Pensacola community.

    Objectives

    • Explain how effective leadership can foster a collaborative culture and guide the team to success.
    • Discuss how collaboration allows diverse perspectives and ideas to come together, leading to a deeper understanding of challenges and more robust problem-solving.
    • List technology and tools that facilitate collaboration, making it easier for teams to work together, share information and coordinate efforts.
    • Implement collaborative efforts that build trust and foster stronger relationships among team members, leading to a positive work environment.

    Design standards are often an undervalued and underutilized asset that owners, planners and design professionals can use to pre-empt a wide range of project challenges that often emerge during the planning, design and construction process. Hear from owners representing three of the world’s most preeminent health systems – Stanford, Kaiser and Medxcel – together with construction and engineering partners, (members of The Center for Health Design’s Built Environment Network), share how standards are developed and currently being used to anticipate supply chain needs, reduce maintenance and life cycle costs, and improve project delivery.

    Standards are NOT going away. In fact, they are becoming increasingly more important in the planning, design and project delivery process for all types of spaces, furnishings and equipment, the building envelope, and to support different operational models. As they anticipate the future, they want to embed and integrate these standards into existing technology and use AI to gather data to better manage their portfolios. The evolution of and application of design standards has and will continue to change the future of the planning, design, and construction process. Don’t miss this opportunity to bring these real-world insights and best practices back to your project team.

    Objectives

    • Understand the difference between a design standard and a design guideline.
    • Learn how standards have and will continue to change the design process.
    • Understand the benefits health systems derive from having design standards.
    • Explore how health systems will use AIA & technology to better manage their planning, design, and construction processes.

    Mental and behavioral health care has been in transition for more than half a century. The evolution of health care facilities to support care for those living with mental illness has accelerated over the past 30 years and is continuing to do so. This presentation will explore the concepts and tenets that formed a new behavioral health care campus for the Sheppard Pratt Health System in Maryland. Many of the concepts are based on the original tenets of the organization from 175 years ago. The speakers will discuss the process of achieving the completion of the new campus, which included a complete change in the Sheppard Pratt Health System leadership and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the administrator of the new hospital — who was not involved in the planning. but is now responsible for running the new hospital, including benchmarking the new facility against national benchmarks and the facility it replaced — will discuss insights on how the new campus was planned to provide care and how it is actually providing care today after two years of full operation. The goal of this presentation is to demonstrate how the facilities we create impact those receiving care in them. To this end, a family member of a patient of the new hospital will provide their thoughts on the new facility and how it has impacted their experience.

    Objectives

    • Explain how the 175-year history and principles introduced by Moses Sheppard and his vision of care are not only still relevant, but fully incorporated into the new Sheppard Pratt Health campus.
    • Discuss challenges resulting from change in leadership and the impact of COVID-19 on the project and how the project moved forward in a manner consistent with the original concepts.
    • Analyze critical environmental and clinical considerations in relationship to current patient metrics and staff satisfaction.
    • Compare goals and post-occupancy findings with the lived experiences of a person receiving care in the new hospital.

    Violence in health care has reached epidemic proportions. The National Institutes of Health reported in 2022 that 73% of all nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses occurred in the health care environment. Up to 38% of health care workers suffer physical violence at some point in their careers. The physical environment is the first line of defense against this violence, and the Security Design Guidelines for Healthcare Facilities demonstrates a reliable method for effectively integrating a safe and resilient design to help mitigate these threats. This session will explore various methodologies utilizing the Security Design Guidelines for Healthcare Facilities that every health care organization, including ambulatory care and outpatient facilities, can employ during the design phases for renovation, new construction and even smaller projects. These methodologies, which use the safety risk assessment (SRA), continue to focus on preparing the built environment to mitigate violence with a special emphasis on weapons detection.

    Objectives

    • Describe design goals that will ensure a safer health care physical environment.
    • Identify opportunities to collaborate more effectively as the designated safety and security subject matter expert on a health care organization’s design team.
    • Create an effective security risk assessment for one’s health care organization.
    • Support the design of the physical environment while ensuring the design supports mitigation of patient violence and increased safety for patients, visitors and staff.
