Institute for Patient-Centered Design, Inc.
Family-Centered Cancer Care Simulation Lab
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the needs of clinicians delivering care on an oncology unit.
- Identify the needs of patient/family users receiving care on an oncology unit.
- Simulate the activities that are necessary in each space in order to better understand the function that should be served in the design of such space.
- Discuss design strategies for addressing the needs of the end users (patients, families, care providers) on an oncology unit.

Date: September 2016, (Information Coming Soon)
Time: 5:30 - 6:30 pm Networking Reception | 6:30 - 7:30 pm Discussion
Location: Nashville, Tennessee
Course Description:
Pediatric Oncology Simulation Lab will be set inside a mock-up of an inpatient pediatric oncology space. This environment will enable participants to experience, identify and discuss the challenges that users face within the space, and brainstorm on design solutions to address such needs. Facilitated by patients, families, healthcare providers, health facilities managers and academic researchers, participants will receive a comprehensive overview of the design considerations of an oncology space.
