Women in Health Care Research and Design
Discover how leading healthcare design researchers are advancing evidence-based practice—translating research into practical design strategies that improve health outcomes and shape the future of care environments.
About the live course
Research is essential in advancing evidence-based design and fostering innovation in health care environments. This webinar features accomplished international women researchers based in the United States, each of whom has made significant contributions to health care design through rigorous research. Presenters will introduce themselves, share their key work, and highlight architectural design recommendations and practical applications from their studies. The session will also address current gaps in health care design research and explore emerging directions to guide future innovation. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how research drives best practices, informs design decisions, and improves outcomes in health care architecture.
- Learn how rigorous research findings can be applied to create health care environments that support patient well-being, staff efficiency, and overall operational effectiveness.
- Explore practical architectural strategies and innovative design solutions derived from current health care design research focused on improvements in patient health, safety, and welfare.
- Recognize existing gaps in health care design research to inform future architectural planning, programming, and design initiatives that support health, safety, and wellness.
- Understand how international research perspectives can inspire locally relevant, culturally sensitive, and forward-thinking health care facility designs.
