Using design thinking to transform cancer care

Enhancing the quality and delivery of cancer care

The Broward Health Medical Center (BHMC) infusion center wanted to modernize their outdated, busy adult infusion center to transform the patient care experience, as well as staff workflow & efficiency to help them better compete in a highly competitive market for oncology care.

 

The Broward team envisioned a redesign with a twofold purpose:

 

  • Solve entrenched logistical issues
  • Differentiate BHMC from the competition

 

This goal was validated by Broward winning the healthcare design award 2014 and the healthcare Avatar award for continued experience improvements over a sustained period. Patient satisfaction scores increased to 100% after opening.*

Creating an exceptional patient experience leveraging design thinking
"This new design is absolutely going to impact positively on the patient’s experience. It is going to take it to world-class. It is going to impact our financial results.”
