In response to the COVID-19 crisis, healthcare organizations across the country rapidly activated spaces on existing campuses as well as off-site to increase capacity for the patient surge. Ultimately, millions of dollars were spent on projects that were largely unused, thanks to social distancing flattening the curve. However, as we look ahead to a potential second wave in the fall or to future epidemics/pandemics, is there a better way to respond to patient surge? In this webinar, healthcare design experts will review the design solutions delivered to support COVID-19 patient surge, the lessons that will guide us in responding smarter and more cost-effectively next time, as well as how this new knowledge should shape the planning of future healthcare buildings.
