Best Practice Tools
The analysis of user experiences during design is a common practice
as well. Over half of participants also said they either usually or always
analyze patient and caregiver movements so that resulting designs
are lean and improve user workfl ows.
Building Information Modeling / Virtual Design and
Construction (BIM/VDC)...
When your organization executes major healthcare facilities
projects, how prevalent are the following practices?
Utilizing BIM/VDC
Patients/caregivers sharing experiences during design
Analyzing movement to design lean workfl ows
Using Evidence-Based Design (EBD)
Attaining LEED for healthcare certifi cation
Attaining Net Zero and/or energy independence
*Provider and architect responses were similar
Always Usually Sometimes
BIM/VDC was identifi ed more than any other design and
construction practice as a tool that is always utilized in major
projects. Both healthcare providers and architects see many
strong benefi ts of BIM/VDC (see lower right-hand chart).
All Respondents*
Almost Never Never
Evidence-Based Design (EBD) was utilized somewhat less on major
projects than other practices. However, 50% of healthcare providers
said that interest in EBD is growing signifi cantly at this time, which was
more than what was reported for either BIM/VDC (20%) or LEED (32%).
As found in last year’s study, some architects struggle with the
practical utilization of EBD. For example, 47% do not feel there is a
suffi cient base of quality evidence available to utilize EBD broadly on
projects, and 60% agree that in too many cases EBD is simply used as a
persuasive tool to help market a predetermined design.
Although energy effi ciency was mentioned as an important goal by
many participants, LEED certifi cation, Net Zero operations, and other
similar goals were pursued the least on major projects among the
practices evaluated.

Delivery Method Trends
Comments from Healthcare Providers
“We’re looking at IPD to get more stakeholders involved earlier.”
“IPD offers better collaboration, budget, and schedule efficiencies.”
Comments from Architects
“IPD offers more partnering and teaming opportunities and brings the whole team on board early in the process.”
“Clients believe they have greater control over cost and schedule with DB, but as more see the successful results of
IPD projects, they are considering this option.”

2012 Survey
There was a large increase from our survey a year ago in the
portion of healthcare providers who said interest for IPD was
growing within their institution.Alternative delivery methods such as Design Build and the more
recent emergence of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) aim to enhance
project collaboration and outcomes by aligning the goals of project
participants and involving parties early in the process.
Of respondents who have never entered into a formal IPD
contract, 18% nonetheless said they use behaviors / functions
affi liated with IPD. This “behavioral IPD” approach may offer a
straightforward option to achieving integrated project goals.
At the same time, fewer architects now perceive growing interest in
Design Build. Interest in IPD was thought by some architects to come
at the expense of DB. Like healthcare providers, many architects are
attracted to the early teaming opportunities IPD aff ords.
It remains unclear how well the actual practice of IPD will be received.
Only half of architects who have used IPD would recommend it for a
future project, and while just seven healthcare providers in our survey
have used IPD, none would recommend it for a future project.

�HDR ArchitectureCentral Washington Hospital:HQDWFKHH��:DVKLQJWRQ EBD Goal:
7R� LQFUHDVH� FDUHJLYHU� HIÀFLHQF\�through the implementation of evidence-based design strategies in the design of a new patient bed tower at Central Washington Hospital.
Challenge:
(%'�67(36�$33/,('�
Solution:
To achieve this goal, HDR was challenged to integrate the latest research findings, EMR technologies, evidence-based design strategies and Lean operational efficiencies into the patient tower design. Specifically, the design team hypothesized that building a standardized and same-handed patient room would decrease errors and increase caregiver efficiency.
Lean studies were performed during programming through construction as staff transitioned into the new facility. A workflow analysis was completed as part of a comprehensive process improvement study of travel patterns for nurses and doctors using handheld PDA devices that track staff travel times. This same study was repeated one year post-occupancy in the new bed tower. Data collection for the PDA study was done with “Time Study RN”, a PDA handheld used by the nursing staff. The PDA alerts them at random intervals to indicate their location, what task they just completed, and what task they are currently completing. This was used to track clinical behaviors and to identify opportunities for improvement for the newly designed space.
Three units were analyzed including Critical Care, Medical Oncology and Obstetrics. The care delivery time results were then compared against “Time Study RN” benchmarking data and were stratified into value-added, value-enabling, and non-value-added time categories. Travel densities were also vetted indicating over 49% of nursing travel was spent between patient room and nurse station or document server. This provided clear direction for designers that decentralized workstations could decrease travel distances for clinicians. Layout optimization was then used to map processes in the new design layout. Travel distances were calculated and new workflow processes were identified. The travel study indicated for all units measured, that the time spent on value added care, the time spent on direct care, and the aisle effectiveness all increased from current to future state workflow and generally outperformed the national benchmarks for their corresponding unit types.
Additionally, HDR conducted a post-occupancy evaluation, (POE), one year after occupancy. User focus groups were held to gather feedback from the staff on how well the design of the building supports their work processes. A survey was also distributed to supplement the findings of the focus groups. The POE revealed that overall the staff is very satisfied with the design of the new facility. The surveys also revealed areas in communication and technology that were not functioning properly and have since been addressed.
