SUMMARY:Material Matters in Healthcare Settings
DESCRIPTION:BIFMA and AAHID collaborate on a timely topic for the North American design community! \nREGISTER TODAY! \nMaterial Matters in Healthcare Settings \nSpecifying materials and finish surfaces for healthcare projects has become increasingly complex. Lessons learned from the pandemic emphasize the critical need to balance durability\, cleanability\, and sustainability. By developing comprehensive Owner Project Requirements (OPR) with input from an interdisciplinary team\, decision-makers can identify\, prioritize\, and specify products that effectively support the health and well-being of patients\, residents\, staff\, and visitors. \nAn expert panel will share strategies for aligning the diverse needs of stakeholders—including the C-suite\, facility management\, infection control\, environmental services\, quality assurance\, and frontline care teams—alongside design professionals\, product manufacturers\, and installers. Attendees will gain insights into how multi-attribute certifications\, ecolabels\, and performance characteristics can streamline product selection and enhance decision-making. This session will equip attendees with the knowledge and resources to confidently specify products that meet performance demands without compromising sustainability\, ultimately leading to more effective and resilient healthcare environments. \nWho Should Attend \n\nA&D Professionals\nSales/Marketing Professionals\nFacility Managers\, Owners & CEOs\nInstructors and Students\nManufacturers of Commercial Furniture and Accessories\nSuppliers to the Commercial Furniture Industry\n\nPresenters \nBarbara Dellinger\, MA\, FIIDA\, EDAC\, CHID\, MDCID\, NCIDQ; Principal; Dellinger Consulting\, LLC \nAs a healthcare interior designer for 40 years\, Barbara has provided planning and interior design for projects ranging from small clinics to very large\, 1M+ sq. ft.\, $1+B military hospitals.
