Who We Are Institute for Patient-Centered Design, Inc. is comprised of patients, healthcare professionals, and design professionals dedicated to improving the healthcare environment through advocacy and education. Patients Our contributing patients live with chronic illnesses that require regular healthcare maintenance. They have spent a great deal of time receiving medical care in diverse environments, ranging from very poor to excellent. These patients share their personal experiences to promote awareness and improvement to the environment of care available for all patients. Healthcare Professionals Our advisory committee is comprised of healthcare professionals. These individuals provide clinical information on the requirements of a healing environment. They also provide insight on necessities that enable medical staff to deliver the best care. Design Professionals We utilize the expertise of professionals in the fields of architecture and medical planning. They offer insight from the design and construction fields to translate the information gleaned from patient experiences into design goals and principles. |
Purpose
Institute for Patient-Centered Design, Inc. is a nonprofit organization,
recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as tax exempt under section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Institute was founded by
Patients and Design Professionals with the purpose of giving patients a
voice in the development of the healing environment. Healthcare providers,
medical staff, and design teams spend countless hours defining the
requirements of a healthcare facility. Although these are key individuals to
develop a successful project, the end users - patients are often excluded
from this process.
Our Organization
Institute for Patient-Centered Design, Inc. provides education and
resources to healthcare providers and healthcare designers to address the
needs of patients. Many designers lack first-hand experience in the
challenges that patients face. Our organization seeks to enlighten these
professionals on the "patient experience" and to advocate for the
appropriate environment of care and resources to promote optimal healing
conditions.
Our Board & Advisors
Institute for Patient-Centered Design has a diverse board of directors
representing design, public engagement, education and patients. This
board utilizes the expertise of advisory committee members. Our Advisors
represent patients, healthcare professionals and design professionals, all
working to improve the quality of the healthcare environment.
