Caritas Consortium 2013Recreating Caring Environment for Patients, Families and
Team while Moving to a New NICU
Intent to Contribute Statement:Building a new hospital or unit and relocating to a brand new space is very exciting. The
planning for the new Kaiser San Francisco NICU has started in 2007 and the project
took 5 years to complete. The nursery was moved to a beautiful new space in
September of 2012. This experience presented the NICU team with incredible
opportunities for learning, growth and navigating unexpected challenges with
equipment, logistics, communication, altered workflows while adapting to the new
space and continuing to provide reassurance and healing caring environment to
worried families of the sick infants. The NICU team would like to share their story and
lessons learned at the next Caritas Consortium, as well as present the outcomes and
most recent patient satisfaction scores that might reflect the effects of relocation to
the new space. We believe that by sharing our learnings, we may help many others
who anticipate moving into the new hospitals in the near future.
