Creating the facade of Cincinnati's West Hospital involved an artistic vision, mock-ups, a dose of technology and a leap of faith, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website. Designers wanted to make the connection between the facade and Ohio’s history as a center of production of art pottery with a mosaic tile wall system, according to the article.
Their safety measures included training staff in de-escalation, active-shooter response drills and equipping 6,000 employees with duress notification badges.
