Healthcare Architecture that Delivers for Patients, Staff, and Providers
Creating environments that enhance patient outcomes and experiences is central to healthcare design. But that requires more than just considering the patient's needs. BHDP's holistic approach to healthcare design supports provider objectives while optimizing staff productivity and fostering meaningful connections between patients, caregivers, and staff.
Putting the Patient at the Center of Healthcare Design
Every provider wants to maximize patient outcomes and there is evidence that facility design plays a significant role in supporting that objective. But with new competitive threats emerging, creating a positive patient experience can be just as important.
At BHDP, we enable both through a proven patient-centric approach that produces spaces that shape activity and behavior, support strategic outcomes, and deliver a distinctive and indelible patient experience.
Leveraging principles and learnings from our Higher Education, Retail, and Workplace markets, our healthcare designers augment their expertise with a broad cultural perspective that allows them to anticipate and stay ahead of macrotrends like retailization that are shaping the healthcare landscape today. The result is emotionally connected spaces that inspire users, improve overall engagement, and enrich the healing connection between patients, caregivers, and providers.
Strengthening the Connection Between Staff, Patients, and Providers
Clinical staff productivity and satisfaction are closely aligned with patient experience and provider success. Environments that contribute to staff efficiency and morale help enable positive experiences for patients and their families while enhancing staff recruiting and reducing turnover.
Our approach integrates the needs of patients and staff holistically to create environments optimized for both. Our healthcare designers know clinical care workflows—and how technology is transforming them—and apply analysis and ergonomics to optimize productivity while reducing fatigue and physical stress. They also have a deep appreciation for the critical role clinical staff play in the success of every healthcare facility and understand that environments that don’t support staff ultimately don’t work for patients or providers.
Delivering Bottom-Line Impact for Healthcare Providers
Providers want the best space possible—within set budgets and timelines. At BHDP, we bring a business mindset to every project that respects those critical factors while seeking to get the most out of available resources through creative thinking and innovation.
Our experience across related industries and our highly collaborative design process allow us to uncover opportunities that may not be evident in initial project specifications. In our experience, providers don’t want firms that simply execute on a plan. They want to engage with healthcare experts who will be accountable, challenge expectations, and work diligently to develop the best solution in every situation.
If you are looking for a partner you can trust to get the most out of your budget and create an environment that optimizes the experience of patients, staff, and caregivers, connect with one of our specialists.
