Health care leaders are facing huge challenges that demand a fresh and innovative strategy to deliver high quality care in response to as yet undefined reimbursement and quality performance measurements in the ambulatory setting. This presentation will challenge the traditional ways we view the design of ambulatory care facilites. This session will enable attendees to:

Identify best practices and national models of "safety net" community health centers.
Understand the evidence-based research for design of ambulatory care facilities.
Learn about new models of care being implemented by physicians as they try to respond to the new normal of reduced reimbursement, the steady increase and complexity of chronic disease management, the focus on prevention, and the tsunami of the newly insured.
Discover how the baby boomer demographic will influence facility design.
