When Cedars-Sinai Medical Center partnered with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) on a simulation center to study trauma care workflow and procedures, the team replaced traditional walls and ceilings with movable pieces that could flex and adapt to various needs, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website. Research teams can change the proportion of the room and move or remove walls to help visualize design preferences.
These include plans to begin demolition of current structure and hospital site preparation in 2026 and open the outpatient center and ambulatory surgery center in 2027.
