She works in a clinical advisory role for Odell Associates in Richmond, VA and Charlotte, NC. Odell is a nationally recognized healthcare design firm with projects all over the world. It has plans to incorporate more of these research studies into each project. Design outcomes are better, sometimes needing less user meetings. Odell wants nurse satisfaction and patient safety guiding the design. They too reduce the time it takes for a nurse to answer the call-bell and reduce the time it takes for patients to receive their medications, both of these reductions will increase patient satisfaction scores. Odell wants nurses to feel as though they have an advocate in their architects.
