SPECIAL SESSION: The Nurse's Role in Designing and Moving Into A New Hospital

Description/Overview: How do you move a hospital? Very thoughtfully. This presentation will discuss one hospital system’s move from an aging and dated city landmark to an ultra-modern, state-of-the-art, environmentally conscious healthcare facility. We will discuss multiple unique aspects of the preparation and execution of the move. From harnessing staff engagement and planning to the physical move day, we will discuss the lessons learned and provide recommendation to hospital professionals planning an upcoming building project and move.
