The cabinetry used in exam rooms and clinical environments is an integral part of the delivery of quality care. The way it is designed and utilized within the clinical environment can often impact workflow efficiency, safety initiatives and the healthcare experience for both patients and caregivers. While a growing number of healthcare organizations are beginning to view cabinetry as a strategic component of the clinical environment, many still view it as an interchangeable commodity—easily substituted with the lowest cost option in the face of budget constraints or cost-cutting efforts. This webinar from Midmark explains why the design of the cabinetry should be a consideration in any purchasing decision. It identifies the five questions healthcare professionals should ask to maximize the value and benefits cabinetry can bring to their clinical environment.

The presentation will focus on the role of intelligent healthcare infrastructure to create sustainable healthcare environments. It will cover sustainability as a concept and examine healthcare in that context to explain why it has come to be such a carbon heavy and unsustainable industry. It will explore how integrating advanced building controls and technology can improve the efficiency, sustainability, and functionality of healthcare facilities. The session will discuss the practical benefits of these intelligent systems, including their contribution to environmental sustainability, improved patient care, operational efficiency and employee well-being. Through real-world case studies and an exploration of future trends, this presentation aims to provide a clear understanding of the intersection between technology and sustainability in modern healthcare settings. It seeks to leave attendees with valuable insights and the encouragement to adopt and promote sustainable practices in the development and management of healthcare environments.

Uncover the near-reality of all-electric hospitals, no longer just aspirational but quickly taking shape on the healthcare horizon. This session will guide you through the challenges and opportunities of designing in an all-electric world, exploring innovative materials that generate electricity and enhance resiliency. Join us to understand the transformative potential of all-electric hospitals, from keeping pace with evolving technology to improving patient experiences. Don't miss this chance to envision the intersection of sustainable design and cutting-edge healthcare infrastructure.

CO2 emissions from healthcare in the world's largest economies account for about 5% of their national carbon footprints.

Increasingly, leading health organizations are looking to decarbonize facilities, improving health outcomes and reducing utility costs. The presentation integrates architecture and building engineering aspects of the process to reduce carbon in facilities, including both operational and embodied carbon. Key principles begin with designing for the patient experience and thermal comfort. This approach focusses on managing peak solar loads, eliminating the need for air changes beyond minimum code required ACH. This model saves first costs, and creates flexibility for alternate comfort delivery systems, like chilled beams. Control systems that integrate process loads enable a new way to manage annual thermal resources. This is consistent with next generation central plants based on pumping energy like heat recovery chillers or ground source heat pumps. These plants provide a thermal regime consistent with chilled beams, enabling the lowest energy use outcomes. Design tools that architect and engineers share are demonstrated as part of a design methodology to achieve this paradigm.
