THE BEST CARE AT THE LOWEST COST

Cost & ValueSavings from Research-Informed Design

January-February 2011 HASTINGS CENTER REPORT 13

Despite deep and vocal disagreements over health care reform, virtually everyone believes that the current system is not economically sustainable.

We are spending too much and getting too little in re-turn. This recognition has spurred health care leaders to examine every aspect of hospital operations. But what about the health care building itself, the physical envi-ronment within which patient care occurs? Too often, cost-cutting discussions have overlooked the hospital structure. Changes in the physical facility provide real opportunities for improving patient and worker safety and quality while reducing operating costs.

The “Fable hospital,” an imaginary amalgam of the best design innovations that had been implemented and measured by leading organizations, was an early at-tempt to analyze the economic impact of designing and building an optimal hospital facility.1 The Fable analysis, published in 2004, showed that carefully selected de-sign innovations, though they may cost more initially,

could return the incremental investment in one year by reducing operating costs and increasing revenues. Reac-tions to the Fable paper varied. Many felt it presented a compelling case and stimulated health care leaders and architects to think differently about balancing one-time building costs with ongoing operating costs. Oth-ers voiced skepticism about whether the benefits were as great as described and asked for more evidence.

Today, the Fable hospital is no longer imaginary. Dur-ing the past six years, numerous hospitals have imple-mented many of its attributes and have evaluated their impact on patients, families, and staff.2 Several are mem-bers of the Center for Health Design’s Pebble Project, a group of organizations that apply evidence-based de-signs to improve quality and financial performance. Two Pebble hospitals are featured in essays accompanying this article. These and other pioneering organizations and their architecture/design teams are introducing such in-terventions as larger single-patient rooms, which reduce the incidence of health care-associated infections; wider bathroom doors, which reduce patient falls; HEPA filtra-tion and other indoor air quality improvements, which reduce health care-associated infections; appropriate task lighting in medication dispensing areas, which reduces medication-related errors; hydraulic ceiling lifts in pa-tient rooms and bathrooms, which reduce patient and staff lift injuries; and art and music, which reduce anxi-ety and depression and speed recovery.

Since 2004, much has changed that affects decision-making about health care construction and design. It is time for a fresh look at the Fable hospital. Drawing on the latest design and health care knowledge, research, the 2010 health reform law’s emphasis on value and quality improvement, and our collective experience, we present Fable hospital 2.0.

The Changing Health Care Landscape

Five major health care trends are relevant to our analy-sis: the growth of evidence-based design, the safety/

quality revolution, pay for performance and increasing consumer transparency, sustainability and green design, and access to capital.

EssaysEvidence shows that changes in the architecture, design, and decor of health care

facilities can improve patient care and in the long run reduce expenses. These essays detail the state of the research, look inside two hospitals that put some of

these innovations into practice, and consider how design fits into the moral mission of health care.

“But epiphanies rarely occur in familiar surroundings. The key to seeing like an iconoclast is to look at things you have never seen before. It seems almost obvious that breakthroughs in perception do not come from simply staring at an object and thinking harder about it. Breakthroughs come from a perceptual system that is confronted with something that it doesn’t know how to interpret.”GREGORY BERNS (2008). Iconoclast. Boston: Harvard Business Press.

“Unselfconscious cultures contain, as a feature of their form producingsystems,acertainbuilt-infixity–patternsofmyth, tradition and taboo which resist willful change.

CALL TO ACTION

The Future of the Interior Design Profession is on a springboard...

Interiors need to be created within an interdisciplinary team using evidence-based hypothesized outcome driven solutions for all who inhabit built environments


Interior Designers need to be translators of productive, safe, resilient environments for the betterment of mankind



Post graduate programs need to evolve around a finite group of topics that can build a strong foundation for the profession and all whom we serve




A shift in practice methodology must lead to evidence-based design

Post graduate programs need to evolve around a finite group of topics that can build a strong foundation for the profession and all whom we serve
