The Evolving Design of Interventional Platforms

The Evolving Design of Interventional Platforms is a webinar presentation of the development of a standardized support core and a flexible and interchangeable patient room design to deliver patient care today and in the future.

Traditionally, healthcare decisions have been influenced by turf and territory rather than defined by care and collaboration. Emphasis has been inappropriately placed on physician wants rather than patient needs. Care has been fragmented and diffused by treatment site and specialty specific divisions. The challenge is to provide the most flexible and adaptable treatment environments. Today's design must anticipate tomorrow's reality.

The presentation will trace the evolution of recent designs for interventional platforms focusing on the development of a standardized support core and a single, standardized, flexible and interchangeable room to address the ever-changing technology and modes of patient treatment.
