Clinical trials are becoming a strategic differentiator for hospitals. In a recent article, HOK's Colleen E. Harrington, IIDA, and Kathleen Schwarz outline how “trial-ready” cancer hospitals embed clinical research into everyday care. They highlight how purposeful design and planning can streamline trial operations, support specialized staffing and infrastructure and expand equitable access for more patients. For hospital leaders considering capital investments, the article offers a great first look at how building design can accelerate innovation while delivering lasting organizational value. 🔗 Discover more: http://bit.ly/4nnVwAU
This is genuinely an eye opening read.. I've never thought how architecture itself can catalyze cancer research.. The idea of “trial-ready hospital” where spatial design supports real time collaboration, integrated labs, and patient access to trials.. This is more than designing for care, it’s designing for scientific progress..! Thank for sharing..! It’s quite a nice insight on health care architecture.. ✨
Such an important lens - architecture as a lever for better access, smoother trial operations, and faster innovation in cancer care!
