Architects and Planners

Maintaining the highest standard in care is a direct result of a properly designed patient care workspace. Proper utilization of space can help improve patient outcomes, staff efficiency, and family satisfaction. One of the best ways to achieve this is to standardize locations of equipment and supplies, along with adequate space for documentation and work areas.

At Dräger, our philosophy is to design each room ‘from the patient out’ by creating a cockpit of care. Designing from the patient out is a process of considering the patient, the bed/incubator, and all items necessary for patient care before you determine how they will be stored, supported or interfaced with the building – such as from the wall, on a boom or beam. Considerations must be made for staff, sight lines and overall workflow. Through detailed planning and consultations, we can help you optimize your clients’ efficiency, use of space, and budget.

To ensure that design projects meet your customers’ expectations from day one, we use a proven methodology and follow best practices. As a result, new or redesigned acute care workplaces optimize the performance of clinical teams, streamline efficiency, and put the patient at the center of care.

Our 3D rendering software brings workplaces to life before they are built. In our state-of-the-art Design Center, you can work with our experts to plan your project in realistic clinical conditions. In this environment, we have created a mini hospital – including emergency, operating room, intensive care unit and neonatal care unit. Here, you can individually put together products and systems to create your clients’ ideal clinical design, and then experience these workplace solutions live.

Our design process includes:

• Planning workshops to determine requirements
• Workflow analysis and documentation
• Interactive 3D planning software to visualize designs early in the planning phase
• Dräger Design Center for hands-on workplace design
• Technical drawings
