Created by Institute for Patient-Centered Design, Inc., the Patient Experience Simulation Lab is a unique workshop established to present realistic patient scenarios to demonstrate the importance of patient-centered design. This workshop was set inside the full scale model of The 2012 Patient Empowered Room. Participants experienced this environment from the perspectives of the end users, each having the opportunity to move about the space assuming the role of the patient
or family member in a pre-determined scenario. During this process, attendees collaborated with other participants to identify critical design considerations and to discuss new ideas.
