Healthcare Is Broken
• Experientially• Financially• Spiritually
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED:FACILITATING CULTURAL CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE THROUGH THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
p y
Take a New Approach• Goals:
Redefine what healthcare means.Determine how best to execute that care.I t b th d
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED:FACILITATING CULTURAL CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE THROUGH THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Incorporate both new and traditional concepts that enhance the healing process.Embrace change in healthcare creatively.
The Challenge• Imagine a different
healthcare experience.
“Some men see things asthey are and say, ‘Why’?

A Different Point of View• We need to change our
point of view.
We looked at McCune-Brooks Regional Hospital

SETTING THE STAGE
Learning From DisneyEvidence-Based Design Hypotheses
Learning from Disney• The Disney Experience
One of the world’s greatest marketers.• Key concepts in creating an
experience:L k f t iti t t i
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED:FACILITATING CULTURAL CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE THROUGH THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Look for opportunities to create surprise & delight.Make individuals feel special.Be true to your brand.People talk about their experiences.
Learning from Disney• Create a Memorable Experience“Work is theatre…Even those businesses which do not yet stage experiences must understand that whenever employees work in front of customers an act of theatre occurs…
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED:FACILITATING CULTURAL CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE THROUGH THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
front of customers an act of theatre occurs… the question isn’t whether your employees are performing, it’s whether they are performing in mundane or memorable ways.”
— Joe Pine & Jim GilmoreWelcome to the Experience Economy
Harvard Business Review
Evidence-Based Hypotheses• Patient Satisfaction:
Access to nature will increase patient satisfaction scores.
• Pain Management & Medication Use:Large windows & lack of shadows will
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED:FACILITATING CULTURAL CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE THROUGH THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
gimprove pain management scores & decrease medication use.
• Patient Safety:Wide entries at patient rooms & at patient toilets will help reduce slip & fall incidents.
SEPTEMBER 30, 2009 9
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED:FACILITATING CULTURAL CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE THROUGH THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Evidence-Based Studies• Bright light (natural & artificial) can
improve health outcomes:Bright light reduces the effects of depression, agitation, SAD, bipolar and other disorders.
— Seven distinct studies (1996)
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED:FACILITATING CULTURAL CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE THROUGH THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
Sunlight in patient rooms improves psychosocial health, quantity of medications used, and medication costs.
— Walch, et al. (2004)
Patients who suffered heart attacks had half the mortality rate in sunny rooms.
— Beauchemin & Hays (1998)
Evidence-Based Studies• Effect of light on improving patient
health:Exposure to bright morning light is effective in reducing agitation in elderly patients with dementia.
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED:FACILITATING CULTURAL CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE THROUGH THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
— Lovell, et al. (1995)
Exposure to morning light is more effective in reducing depression than evening light.
Views onto sunny spaces were twice as effective as those that looked onto spaces in shadow.
— Beauchemin & Hays, et al. (1996 to 2006)

BIG IDEASSeven Ideas for Transformation
The Big Ideas• We developed several “Big Ideas.”
They became the framework for our new hospital;And were essential in the way we looked at the interaction between:

The Big Ideas1. Create a new patient experience.2. Bring care to the patient, not just
figuratively, but in actual practice.3. Provide a healing and restorative

environment for patients, families & staff.
The Big Ideas4. Integrate nature as key part of the
healing process.5. Engage all senses in the patient
care environment.
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED:FACILITATING CULTURAL CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE THROUGH THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
6. Provide “on-stage” & “off-stage” spaces.
7. Tell a story.
1. A New Patient Experience• Create a new patient experience.
Experiences begin in the community & are rooted in the culture of the hospital.
• “Beacons of Light” Announce a place that nurtures a sacred

2. Bring Care to the Patient• Bring care to the patient — not just
figuratively, but in everything we do.We examined and questioned everything:
Roles, responsibilities, relationships,

6. On-Stage & Off-Stage• Provide both “on-stage” and “off-
stage” spaces.“On-stage” areas:
The hospital is a stage in which employees “act” as caregivers.
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED:FACILITATING CULTURAL CHANGE IN HEALTHCARE THROUGH THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
gThey help set the stage for a positive experience.
“Off-stage” areas:Were created for employees to de-stress, rejuvenate, and re-energize for their roles.
