DAS Becomes Certified EDAC Advocate Firm

In a time of mass information and increased competition, the healthcare design industry cannot rely solely on individual or company experience to provide the best patient-centric design practices or solutions for healthcare clients. Evidence-based Design Accreditation and Certification, or EDAC, has brought a higher level of accuracy and scientific rigor to the design world in a way that promotes meaningful and improved healthcare outcomes for patients, their families and healthcare staff. Today, healthcare clients are more highly educated than ever before, demanding evidence to support design decisions. At Distinctive Art Source, the evidence-based design process is intrinsic to our consultancy philosophy. The Center for Health Design has acknowledged our efforts in upholding the values and goals of evidence-based design and has certified Distinctive Art Source as an EDAC Advocate Firm.

Barbara Harriman, President and Creative Director at DAS, affirms, “It’s an exciting time in the industry and we are proud to be part of a global team of professionals using evidence-based design to create visionary healthcare environments.”
