Mobile clinic project helps bring healthcare to remote areas
Moved to Care design challenge requires designers to create a clean, sterile environment for small surgical procedures, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website
The Moved to Care design challenge required designers to create mobile clinics — a clean, sterile environment for small surgical procedures; a temperature-controlled space for storing medicinal drugs; and basic wash, toilet, and kitchen facilities, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website. A multidisciplinary team from the U.S. took home top honors in the professional category with a prefabricated mobile clinic design that’s 538 square feet and expands to 1,614 square feet when side decks are deployed.
Their safety measures included training staff in de-escalation, active-shooter response drills and equipping 6,000 employees with duress notification badges.
