Kris Baird, RN on Pateint/Caregiver Centered Design:
Centering End-Users & Patient Outcomes in Healthcare

Start With End-Users

"You've got to start your integration early. Who are you inviting to the table? It's crucial that from the very beginning and throughout, you've got to involve operations. Too often, decisions are made without input from the people who will actually use the space or technology, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities."

Design With Purpose

""When designing healthcare spaces, begin with the end in mind. It’s not just about creating something esthetically pleasing, but making it functional for staff and safe for patients. Thoughtful design should reduce unnecessary steps, support quiet and collaborative spaces, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes."
