Please Join IIDA New England on August 6, 2008 for Healing Colors in the Healthcare Environment.

Presenter: Tara Hill

Emerging research continues to reveal the influence of architecture and design on all aspects of health care- including speed of patient recovery, length of hospital stays, frequency of medical errors, and rate of staff turnover. Therapeutic environments that foster a sense of control; provide greater privacy and feature elements from nature have been shown to have a positive impact on patient health.

This seminar explores the principles of evidence-based design, using leading-edge application examples to demonstrate how the use of natural elements, and color palettes that reflect nature, can help create a healing atmosphere for patients and positive working environment for staff. This seminar covers the principles of evidence-based design, and introduces the Dupont™ Corian ® Healing Colors Collection.
