Description
Having the "latest and greatest" in technology gives hospitals and physicians a competitive advantage in today's healthcare market. A new generation of digital imaging, linear accelerators, proton beam therapy and gamma knives is unleashing powerful advances at the touch of a button, but the massive equipment, miles of wiring, and metallic casings come at great cost. This session enables attendees to:
•Balance the environmental experience with the specific technology.
•Design for the patient, technician, and physician experience.
•Increase desired clinical outcomes through reduction of patient anxiety, efficiency, and focus on quality.
