"BUILDING FOR TOMORROW:

Creating a Patient-Centered Built Environment in Behavioral Healthcare Facilities"

(a total of four hours of training time on compact disc)

Whether you are budgeting $3,000, $300,000, or $30 million for renovation, expansion, or new construction in the next few years, it’s time to think about how you will get the greatest value from each dollar spent. Experts in the design and construction field, as well as your peers who have recently completed renovation or new construction, have learned a tremendous amount about safety, clinical appropriateness, and efficiency in design of inpatient behavioral healthcare environments. Whether you provide care in a general hospital unit, the behavioral health department of a medical center, a residential treatment facility, or a freestanding psychiatric hospital, this CD will help you make what others have learned work for you and your patients. Learn from experts about their best designs and hear what other NAPHS members have learned from their experiences. What were their best ideas? How did they organize the project? How did they decide to renovate vs. expand vs. build new facilities? How did they gather the ideas of their team? What expert/consultant advice was helpful? How did they finance construction? How did they anticipate future needs in the design decisions of today? How did they manage during the renovation/construction phase (effect on/working with staff and patients)? What would they do differently?
