Whether we’re clinicians, designers, business owners, or architects, we share a common goal: to create environments that improve the experiences of patients, caregivers, and staff. NIHD member Lily Man, RN, MN, LSSBB reflects on her experience at Healthcare Design Conference + Expo.

In the rapidly evolving field of healthcare, the design of Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) plays a critical role in ensuring not only the safety and efficiency of care but also compliance with stringent accreditation guidelines.

In 2019, the Yellow Brick team identified a gap in information related to the Transition and Activation of new healthcare facilities and spaces. They challenged themselves to fill this gap by writing a guide that could be leveraged by those tasked with the responsibility of leading a new facility activation project.

NIHD is a proud Association Partner of Healthcare Design Conference + Expo! Our hosted events include a member dinner, Pre-Conference Workshop, a reception and booth #1309 in the exhibit hall. 

Having the right board members who are qualified and willing to serve is a key factor in getting results. And an informed and participative nominating process is necessary to getting the right people in place.

As a bedside nurse and nurse leader, Kaycee was an alien on a strange land in a healthcare design role about 7 years ago.  Even after being a nurse manager on a previous new floor project, she didn’t know what was her role was, how hard she should advocate for operational flow and what change orders did late in the project. In her new role, NIHD member Kaycee Shiskowsky has learned to integrate a focus on schedule, budget and clinical operational flow.

Recently, a new Industry Partner, Patcraft® / ShawContract®, invited NIHD to learn more about their products, meet their leadership team, and explore ways to share with one another and work together.
