Answer:
It is critical that you consider new workflow patterns when starting design, as most organizations adapt their process based on the restrictions of space or resource availability. Consider a 10-25-year horizon and evaluate different scenarios to determine what changes in volume, services, or techno logy might do to flow. This can add 10-12 weeks to what people might assume to be 2 sessions; but is essential to understand why it is done this way now and whether it can be improved from both a staff and patient perspective.
