Working collaboratively with clients, together we improve outcomes for patients and families.
Comprehensive and Fast: SmartDesign
Our approach accelerates the design process with open channels of communications, clear responsibilities, and creative collaboration.
Planning
Master planning creates a comprehensive roadmap to achieve a client’s vision. This long-term strategy meets current needs while offering flexibility for the evolving healthcare landscape of tomorrow. Using evidenced-based design and work flow consulting, master planning identifies ways to improve the bottom line, not strain it. E4H has completed over 150 master plans for clients ranging from small community hospitals to 1,000-bed medical centers.
Architecture
E4H’s unique live-design approach encourages dialogue, fosters collaboration, and invests end-users in the process. The rapidly changing forces that affect healthcare organizations require flexible and LEAN design that can grow and change with shifting needs and increased budget demands. E4H’s process drives efficiency in time and budget, providing value to the client and speed to market.
Interior Design
An integrated interior design approach addresses the mission and culture of clients with innovative and thoughtful palettes that appeal to the senses. Longevity and functionality are based on an in-depth knowledge of healthcare operations, infection control, and sustainable materials. E4H also provides furniture & finish coordination for clients to create a turn-key experience.
