Over the next several decades, elderly and vulnerable populations will increasingly access acute and ambulatory settings. Older patients, especially those with dementia, are disproportionately negatively affected by traditional healthcare models. The design of care settings is a modifiable risk factor that can facilitate better outcomes. Presenters will review insights gleaned...

There is growing evidence that the design of healthcare environments may contribute to the spread of hospital-acquired infections. However, a knowledge gap persists on how the integrative effects of the environment of care planning and operational interventions influence the transmission of infection-causing pathogens. This presentation will demonstrate the development and...

The purpose of this study is to investigate if there is a physiological stress response to the visual movement and auditory speed of waterscapes. In this empirical study, 118 participants were either exposed to a slow-moving or fast-moving immersive digital waterscape. Pre- and post-anxiety were measured using salivary cortisol and...

This multi-methods study investigated the relationships between window use (blind positions or bed orientation toward the windows) and patients’ length of stay, anxiety, and sleep quality in a cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). Using analysis of patient data, semi-structured interviews, and computer simulations, the study revealed that parallel bed placement...

This session will present findings from a mixed-methods, pre-post study investigating the impact of architectural design on sensory stress for patients, their families, and clinical staff in the ICU. Data consisting of acoustical measurements, sensory stress perception, and staff satisfaction were collected from three hospital ICUs before and after an...

In recent years, the healthcare industry has increasingly focused on standard clinic design as a route to operational efficiency and error reduction, in addition to simplified timelines and predictable costs. It has yet to be demonstrated, however, whether standardized design serves varied service lines. Following up on a project profile...

This research performed an extensive post-occupancy evaluation (POE) on a new cancer infusion center with a pod-like layout featuring semi-private infusion bays and compared results to a pre-occupancy evaluation of two existing infusion centers. The study’s purpose was to investigate the impact of different infusion center designs on staff efficiency...
