3 top tracks to follow at the Healthcare Design Conference

If you are attending the Healthcare Design Conference in Orlando, you should wonder: “What do I want to learn?” At Shield, we decided that we want to concentrate our learning efforts on 3 topics: patient experience, evidence-based design and patient safety.

It’s easy to be overwhelmed when looking at all the sessions available! You only have so much time and if you plan on focusing on the topics mentioned above, you will have to make decisions. To make it easy on you, we picked the top sessions for each topic. Here at the 3 top tracks to follow at the Healthcare Design Conference: 

Session 1: Sunday 17, 9:20 am – 10:20 am—E12 “Design and Technology—Optimize Patient Outcomes and Clinician Satisfaction”

Session 2: Sunday 17, 10:40 am – 11:40 am—R09 “Health Care Design from the Patient and Family Perspective”
