Design Grand Rounds
Place + Purpose + People
Design Grand Rounds Leaders’ Workshop
Clinicians, decision-makers, subject matter experts, and designers evaluate design challenges and opportunities.
Together, we translate your brilliant ideas into effective design and planning concepts to improve the delivery of health and care.
We work with your team to develop a strategic roadmap that leverages the synergy between design and health care professionals. We advance value-driven design adaptations for existing facilities, renovations and new healthcare settings.
Medicine changes at a faster pace than buildings. Together, we seek to radically improve the experience and outcomes by design, considering new and emerging technologies, diagnostics, health data and systems that address the complex needs of patients, visitors, providers, and staff.
Our global network of consultants provides expertise in medical, scientific, social and design domains.
Facilitated discussion explore how spatial and functional design can influence health care and outcomes. We consider the critical challenges and opportunities that you have encountered during small renovations through large scale capital projects at your institutions.
The Design Grand Rounds Workshops apply improvement science and innovative approaches to consolidate the group's expertise, develop common themes, prioritize critical needs, and outline solutions.
We hope you will help us to develop more effective means to create places that serve your purpose, patients and providers.
