Abstract
Mounting evidence describes inefficiencies in the hospital work environment that threaten the safety and sustainability of care. In response to these concerns, diverse experts convened to create a set of evidence-based recommendations for the transformation of the hospital work environment. The resulting Proclamation for Change, now endorsed by multiple health systems and professional and consumer organizations, cites patient-centered design, systemwide integrated technology, seamless workplace environments, and vendor partnerships as the cornerstones of transformational change.
