The result of a week-long 3P full-scale protoyping lean event, the design of this multi-specialty 28,000 s.f. medical office building focuses on provider collaboration, clinic flexibility, and efficiency. The Sutter staff worked alongside the Boulder Associates project team to analyze current and ideal work flows and to create full-scale cardboard mockups of the design which were tested, revised, and perfected throughout the week.

The building features seven pods, each with a centralized, collaborative work area that promotes communication among the care teams. This patient centered medical home model of care allows the provider team to work together to address the patient’s healthcare needs. Self-rooming, one-stop exam rooms, and a patient-tracking system reduce inefficiencies and improve the patient experience.
