The Ideal Cancer Center: Using a Patient-Centered Care Model Created by Designers Recovering from Cancer Treatment
Hosted and Presented By: Taylor Design
In 2024, an estimated 2 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer according to the National Cancer Institute. As cancer evolves with new treatments and technologies, its crucial that healthcare facilities are designed to meet the needs of both patients and the teams caring for them. Modern cancer treatment centers must not only focus on essential medical functions like diagnosis and treatment but also care environments that support patient comfort. Well-being, and better health outcomes. Our presenters, designers that have experienced cancer treatment, will explore the best ways to develop ideal cancer centers; state-of-the-art cancer care facilities that enhance both patient experience and clinical care.
Learning Objectives:
1.Understand patient-centered care, including the wide variety of cancer patient experiences during the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, and how the built environment affects the delivery of care.
2.Examine the challenges of creating the Ideal Cancer Center which provides patient-centered care for inpatient and outpatient environments with seamless transitions between the two.
3.Review the variety of modalities for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, as well as approaches to cancer treatment and recovery which extend beyond the body, to the mind and emotional well-being.
4.Evaluate the lessons learned creating whole-body, patient-centered cancer care - including multi-purpose spaces for activities such as patient recovery from chemotherapy and radiation therapy, physical restoration of body tissues and functionality when the treatment has ended, and spaces for patient caregivers to gather to discuss care and provide each other with emotional support.
