Description
Looming changes to the structure of health care delivery in the U.S. will significantly affect inpatient care. This masters-level session will present theories on how future trends may change how acute care inpatient rooms are designed. In addition, research results and best practices in patient room design will be presented. Attendee participation will be encouraged. This session will enable you to:

● Discuss research results regarding issues such as Lean operation efficiencies, patient safety, infection prevention, and patient room design.
● Assess potential future changes in technology and systems that will affect the patient room.
● Examine effective inpatient room configuration and size for different acuity levels bridging 23-hour or less stays to the most critical of care.
● Discuss how Accountable Care Organizations, and a decline in inpatient reimbursement, will change the inpatient setting.
