In the presentation our DHA team will enthusiastically identify lessons learned from the project. We will give context to the purpose and need of the state-of-the-art teaching facility to the DoD Health System and the important role of technology, resilience and patient-centered in the design of the building. We will give the purpose of the presentation to the attendees at HFI. The purpose is to share valuable lessons learned with the HFI attendees to spark better planning and design on future healthcare projects. Our team will share our key findings through research of what makes a working dental clinic with a teaching program successful. Lastly, we will summarize our conclusions detailed in the lessons learned and make important recommendations to the HFI attendees of the seminar. This is truly a future ready Healthcare Facility that was designed with mindfulness to the key factors of technology, resilience, and patient-centered design.
