Hospital design in care-centred workplaces
—The hospital architecture design & planning is of crucial long-term importance to functionality and successful patient care. It forms the basis for optimal hospital processes, thus minimising the workloads of hospital personnel. At the same time, patients benefit from faster healing processes and more well-being. After all, the solutions you provide need to be future-proof, so it’s essential to integrate trends and future technological developments.

Want to build a better hospital? It starts with better communication.
Volker Merker, a noted German hospital architect and planning consultant, explains why establishing a shared language and project vision for all the involved stakeholders in a hospital development venture is an essential first step.

Training of new workflows
New designs in patient care environments require new ways of thinking and acting from medical personnel in the hospital – which makes training a key element in rolling out any new hospital design.

Better ergonomics brings better care
Prof. Dr. Jürgen Held, a specialist in medical workplace ergonomics, talks about what his field can contribute to the design of healthcare facilities and the challenges of bringing the ergonomic perspective into the design process.

Stakeholder management for effective hospital planning
The project of creating and equipping a new or refurbished hospital space is highly complex and is shaped by many different factors. With this level of complexity and the divergent perspectives of the various actors involved, achieving optimal results is inherently difficult and subject to multiple risks. Stakeholder management is an approach that helps you to address the different perspectives of different actors in complex project situations.

Top technology trends in hospitals
Technological change driven by digital innovation is transforming how care is delivered and managed in the hospital. These changes are impacting every area of the hospital.
