The document summarizes Herman Miller's exhibit at the NeoCon 2013 conference. The exhibit focused on how design can support healing, work, and living through innovative and human-centered solutions. It showcased environments and products for different areas of healthcare facilities, including welcome/waiting areas, exam rooms, caregiver workspaces, patient rooms, and labs. The exhibit emphasized the power of design to improve experiences for patients, caregivers, and families. It also highlighted some new and noteworthy products from Herman Miller like expanded storage options for the Compass wardrobe and new seating for treatment and sleep environments.
5. A Continuum of Care If it’s a place for healing or a place
to work, it’s our domain, and we have innovative solutions
to help people do great things and impact outcomes.

putting guests and patients at ease and helping caregivers
work more comfortably and efficiently.

Key Messages

6. With our combined portfolio of Herman Miller, Nemschoff,
and Geiger products, Herman Miller Healthcare can support
people wherever they work.
According to one study, every physician a health system
hires requires over 5 FTEs (full time equivalents) of non-
clinical staff. Where are these people going to work?
That’s the question that drove us to expand the scope of
solutions we showed this year at NeoCon.

7. Research has shown us that cues from our physical
environment drive how we feel and what we do, and that’s
true at home, in the office, or in a healthcare environment.
In response to these shifts, we’ve developed a more
organic, human-centered approach we call the Living Office.
We’ve teamed with some of the world’s leading minds to
learn more about how people think. By leveraging this
science, we create intuitive spaces that support the diverse
needs of patients, families, and caregivers.
The result is a more natural and desirable workplace that
fosters greater connection, greater productivity, greater
creativity, and greater prosperity for everyone who spends
time in it.

8. Our message has focused on the Power of Space to
demonstrate all the things a well-designed environment can
do. This year at NeoCon, we continued to build on this
message by illustrating how space can improve everyday
experiences for patients, guests, and caregivers; the people
who are at the center of our designs.
