ZEELAND, Mich., Oct 1, 2024 – MillerKnoll (NASDAQ:MLKN) will appear at the 2024 Healthcare Design Conference and Expo (HCD) this year, with plans to showcase new insights and proprietary research on clinical environment planning that helps patients and healthcare professionals achieve positive experiences amid constant change.
"Healthcare design is unique and requires an approach that centers what patients and staff need now and, in the future," said Mike O'Toole, Senior Vice President, Healthcare. "Our latest research shows that planning is the key. By listening and learning about everyday situations in a facility, we can design flexible spaces that best meet everyone's needs and support impactful experiences in the long-term."
MillerKnoll will feature more than 30 healthcare furniture products during the expo, including a new line of recliners and sleep seating from Herman Miller. These latest designs will join a diverse product portfolio intended to meet specific needs across various areas in healthcare facilities and created based on extensive research into the functions that are most impactful for patients and staff.
MillerKnoll's Director of Research, Michelle Ossmann, PhD, MSN, will also conduct an educational session on mitigating nurse burnout. Building on research conducted by HKS, CADRE, and MillerKnoll, the session will explore the fatigue behind rising burnout rates among nurses and provide deeper insights on how the built environment in healthcare and clinical practices can help.
