Maybe you’re a nurse who has often wondered, “Didn’t the architect know we need storage space?” Or maybe you’re a physician’s assistant with a great sense of design. Or maybe, you just know you have some great layout ideas that would make all your fellow care providers’ lives so much better…Whatever the motivation, we have learned that involving someone from the hospital with a practical understanding of the clinical enterprise is critical to designing and delivering a successful new hospital or renovation project. We call this person the “clinical liaison.”
Presented by the architect, planner, and clinical liaison (a nurse in this case) who together delivered a hugely successful new nine-story bed tower for Inova Loudoun Hospital, we will demonstrate how the clinical liaison provided continuous advocacy for the client, propelled good decision making, and helped streamline operations. Using real-world examples, we will persuade you that you, too, need a clinical liaison on your upcoming building project!
