How to create the healing environment of the future White paper on healthcare facility planning and design 


Read in the white paper about how today’s healthcare markets require a re-examination of the way care facilities are planned, designed, built, and operated. Additionally you will find out how a Value Partnership with Siemens Healthineers can help you with these important tasks. 

Digital technologies are a significant solution to enable optimization of proposed as well as existing facilities. Simulations, including VR simulations, can offer end-users and planning and design staff a realistic view of the conceptual design, enabling them to optimize the efficiency and satisfaction of both patients and staff before committing to “real world” action. These tools are part of a larger shift toward digitalizing healthcare, which will enable data-based decision-making on both clinical and non-clinical issues. 

Designing and operating a modern healthcare facility require the collaboration of planners and designers, medical technology partners, and hospital staff. In addition, clinical departments should come together around care pathways, rather than departmental fault lines, in order to deliver the best possible quality of care and experience for all involved.

Siemens Healthineers Stavanger hospital planing

Helse Stavanger University Hospital, Norway 

Helse Stavanger HF, a university hospital in Stavanger, Norway, collaborated with Siemens Healthineers to optimize the layout of their new radiology department. Through thorough assessments and involving staff in the planning process, the recommendation was made to double the department's floor space. This initiative aims to consolidate all services in one location, improve workflow, and enhance patient and staff satisfaction. The new plan, designed around patient pathways and including essential ancillary facilities, seeks to maximize efficiency and create a positive healing environment.
