Nurses in the design process

A gallery of images of nurses working with design teams and the results of their work. Read the related article "Nurses make their rounds in health care design."

As a result of staff feedback, architects at Akron Children's Hospital were able to redesign the ambulatory surgery prep/post-anesthesia care unit three times in one day; they also decreased the emergency department square footage by 11 percent, for a savings of more than $1 million.
