Improving Safety in Crisis Stabilization Units: Leveraging AI and Physical Mock-up Simulations
HOK’s Virginia Pankey will participate in a panel discussion at the Healthcare Facilities Symposium & Expo on crisis stabilization units in mental and behavioral health settings.
The session will explore how AI tools and full-scale mock-up simulations can be used to improve the design and safety of crisis stabilization units for patients experiencing mental and behavioral health crises. Virginia will share insights from simulation-based research and user feedback, highlighting key considerations such as ligature resistance, nursing station visibility and furniture stability.
Join the panel discussion on September 24 at 1:45 PM PT.
