Nature at the Center: A Case Study for Integrating Biophilic Design in a Dialysis Clinic

{"version":"0.3.0","atoms":[],"cards":[],"markups":[],"sections":[[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"From Roger Ulrich\u0027s research and the numerous evidence-based studies, we know that connecting patients to views of nature can directly impact health outcomes. This session will walk through the Rainier Beach Clinic case study. The project team utilized an evidence-based process to build on this research and put nature at the center of a dialysis center, seeking to improve patient health outcomes and staff satisfaction. "]]],[1,"p",[[0,[],0,"As a recipient of a 2021 COTE Top Ten Award, 2021 Healthcare Design Award, and 2021 Healthcare Environment Award for ambulatory care settings, the Rainier Beach Clinic has been recognized for its innovation, blending innovative design concepts, sustainability performance, and an evidence-based process to reimagine a more patient-centric dialysis care environment. The presenter will also share how biophilic design strategies can be implemented in various settings and projects, linking research to the built environment and allowing architecture to take a more active role in the health and well-being of occupants."]]]]}
