The Health Design Podcast · Benjamin Bassin, MD, EDAC

The COVID-19 pandemic has created many stressors and challenges across all levels of low to highly resourced health systems. However, it has also shown the incredible number of opportunities for innovation, ingenuity and system re-engineering. This team believe it is time to support a paradigm change and advocate for healthcare’s next big investment: intentional and embedded partnerships between clinicians, designers, and architects with dedicated resources to ensure an effective collaborative environment to help solve healthcare’s greatest challenges.

Fix Room 16! Designing Healthcare Facilities to be More Resilient & Equitable

Title: Fix Room 16! Designing Healthcare Facilities to be More Resilient & Equitable
Podcast: Design is Everywhere, Design Museum
Date: May 28, 2020

This is one of the main reasons we’re quarantined, not just to keep ourselves safe from the virus but also to “flatten the curve,” and help our hospitals keep up with a growing number of cases. On this episode we talk about how hospitals are designing solutions for surge capacity and what lessons there are for the future of hospital architecture. Those lessons could be very important as we may see new spikes in COVID-19 and as we must adapt facilities to be equitable for all patients, healthcare workers, and staff. We’re joined by Dr. Diana Anderson, a doctor architect, or Dochitect, currently a geriatric medicine fellow at the University of California, San Francisco; and Dr. Esther Choo, she’s an emergency medicine physician and health services researcher based in Portland, Oregon at Oregon Health & Science University, and she’s the chief medical advisor for a startup called Jupe, which is creating pop-up medical facilities. Plus our weekly dose of good design.

Dochitect co-hosts the Design is Everywhere podcast! Listen HERE.

Listen to @dochitect discuss the idea of what is the moral imperative of the architect to communicate research to clients and discuss potential benefits and harms of design. “Architects are sometimes torn between thinking about the state of healthcare outside of their individual project to a client,” Diana shares. “And I think we often have reservations about measuring design quality.” This and more on the changing face of the healthcare design from a “dochitect’s” perspective.

Alex: What do you get when you mix a doctor and an architect?

Eric: An Archidoc?

Alex: No a Dochitect. What do you get when you mix a gerontologist with an architect?

Eric: A gerontolitect?

Alex: No an environmental gerontologist.

Re-designed spaces also have the potential to improve outcomes for older adults and people with serious illness. Further, redesigned spaces can improve quality of life for healthcare providers, and those benefits may be passed on to our patients.

What is PeerSpectrum? “The practice of modern medicine is rapidly changing, and increasingly complex. Finance, negotiation, communication, technology, personal branding and data analytics are just some of the “non-medical” skills now required of modern physicians. Simply keeping up isn’t enough. Going it alone won’t cut it either. Staying ahead requires the help of specialized experts who can be resources for your practice. This is the podcast to find those experts, both inside and outside of medicine. Turn your downtime into up-time and recharge with incredible stories and unique perspectives from your entire spectrum of peers.”
