Offering a uniquely interactive day of consultation, this program prepares you to enter the larger HEALTHCARE DESIGN program with a better understanding of EBD concepts. As a result, you might even stimulate more lively exchanges with your peers during the Educational and Roundtable Discussion sessions. Upon registering for this clinic, The Center for Health Design will require you to complete a questionnaire prior to attending, which will be sent to you in late summer. This information will help us match you to a consultant who fits the needs of your project. Each attendee receives a bundle of EBD books and resources from The Center for Health Design ($200 retail value). Cost: $285. Breakfast and lunch is included. Space is limited to 60 attendees. Practice EBD participants are invited to attend the EDAC Exam Preparation Workshop, which follows this program at 3:00pm (no additional fee). Brought to you by: EDAC | ||

The faculty will discuss the Safe Health Design focus of Joint Commission Resources which integrates Evidence Based Design principles and industry knowledge with Joint Commission Standards and how this work has impacted hospitals across the globe. The faculty will describe the standards that are critical to patient safety and quality which are not often discussed at the “design table”. Additionally, as of January 2011 The Joint Commission amended the Environment of Care Standard EC.02.06.05 from using the Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospitals and Health Care Facilities, 2001 edition, published by the American Institute of Architects; to the 2010 edition, administered by the Facilities Guidelines Institute (FGI) and published by the American Society for Healthcare Engineering. This workshop will explore the 2010 FGI Guidelines as they relate to planning, design, construction, and commissioning of new or renovated health care facilities and steps that can be taken to ensure compliance with The Joint Commission standards. Key topics that will be covered: Life Safety & Emergency and compliance with TJC EC.02.06.05 and section 1.2 of the FGI Guidelines.
