Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Our team developed comprehensive planning and programming concepts for Thomas Jefferson University Hospital’s (TJUH) inpatient orthopedic, medical/surgical, and respite care units. This involved an in-depth analysis of the hospital’s existing facilities and patient care workflows to create designs that optimize functionality, efficiency, and patient experience. We collaborated closely with hospital administrators, medical staff, and stakeholders to understand their needs and priorities, ensuring that our concepts addressed both current and future demands.
For the inpatient orthopedic unit, we focused on creating a healing environment that facilitates patient mobility and recovery, incorporating state-of-the-art rehabilitation spaces and ergonomic room designs. In the medical/surgical unit, our planning emphasized efficient patient flow and enhanced care delivery, with strategically placed nursing stations, advanced medical equipment, and flexible patient rooms that can adapt to varying levels of care. The respite care unit was designed to provide a comfortable and supportive environment for patients requiring short-term care, featuring serene and homelike settings to promote relaxation and well-being. Our programming concepts aimed to enhance the overall patient experience while improving operational efficiency and supporting TJUH’s commitment to providing exceptional healthcare.
