#ACHA recognizes that staying up-to-date on current trends and changes across the healthcare design industry can be challenging. Fortunately, we hold exclusive Town Hall events throughout the year for Certificants to gather, share, and explore current challenges in healthcare architecture, as well as new ideas and perspectives. These recurring events help us to not only uncover healthcare design issues but also generate solutions. Our latest Town Hall topic, “Shifts in Sites of Care,” delved into how evolving patient and caregiver protection protocols, adoption of new care technologies, updated practices, and responses to utilization of available labor have all impacted approaches to the delivery of healthcare. We are proud to continue to create coveted opportunities for our current and future Certificants to collaborate and discuss ways to help transform healthcare through better-built environments. To join future Town Halls, consider becoming ACHA-Certified at the link below. #Certificants #HealthcareDesign #Healthcare #HealthcareArchitecture #Architecture #Design #HealthcareInnovation #Networking https://lnkd.in/gAx4RGpK

In our recent blog post, we dive into the history of hospitals and their journey from service-based care to comfortable, patient-centered environments. Hospitals are the most complex of all building types, both in their physical structure and their competing priorities. Healthcare architecture has been integral to the shift from functional designs that have persisted for centuries to more inclusive and service-based care.

MPS' Cullen Pitts participated in this year's State of Healthcare Construction Report. On the topic of "What do healthcare leaders need from their design and construction teams today?" Cullen said, "Helping with the long-term strategy – 30 years or more out – is needed today. With so many facilities aging out, more master planning and strategic thinking are important steps before allocating funds.” Would you agree?

Whitespace Service, in partnership with Flatfoot Engineering, undertook a critical mission: improving the environmental conditions in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NNICU) at Life Roseacres Hospital. Our solution? A cutting-edge Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV) rooftop unit. The Challenge: Inadequate Airflow and Comfort The existing unit was inefficient, failing to provide essential airflow, heating, and cooling. This compromised both patient comfort and staff well-being. Insufficient air changes also posed health risks, impacting indoor air quality. Our Solution: Precision-Engineered VRV Rooftop Unit We replaced the old system with a state-of-the-art VRV Rooftop Unit. This advanced technology ensures superior efficiency and precise control over environmental conditions. But we didn’t stop there. Prioritizing Air Quality Recognizing the critical role of air quality in healthcare, we focused on ventilation. Strategic design and innovative technologies now ensure continuous fresh, clean air throughout the NNICU ward. Impact: Happier patients, healthier staff, and a safer environment.
