A versatile and unique patient exam table from Brewer Company won the overall Best of Competition in the Nightingale Awards 2023 judged by 14 healthcare system facility planners and designers, as well as interior design firm healthcare practice leaders, during Healthcare Design Conference + Expo in New Orleans, Nov. 4-7.
Healthcare Design magazine in partnership with the Center for Health Design and The Healthcare Design Conference + Expo present the annual competition that is managed by Eileen McMorrow, editor-in-chief, The McMorrow Reports/Healthcare, who founded the competition in 1994.
The Nightingale Awards — the industry’s leading program to recognize products related to the healthcare built environment — are named for Florence Nightingale, a tireless advocate for the improvement of care and conditions in military and civilian hospitals in the 1800s. The judging criteria for the awards is the product’s contribution or solution for clinical or operational outcomes; aesthetics and innovation; built environment solution, durability, functionality, and quality; industry certifications and standards; environmental sustainability; and list price. To evaluate the entries, jurors visited exhibitors’ booths before the Healthcare Design Expo opened to examine the products, hear the story of their design and development, and ask questions.
