The Representational Function of Clinic Design: Staff and Patient Perceptions of Teamwork

2020-09-15 , Lim, Lisa , Kanfer, Ruth , Stroebel, Robert J. , Zimring, Craig

This study empirically investigates the relationships between visibility attributes and both patients’ and staff members’ teamwork experiences. Teamwork among healthcare professionals is critical for the safety and quality of patient care. While a patient-centered, team-based care approach is promoted in primary care clinics, little is known about how clinic layouts can support the teamwork experiences of staff and patients in team-based primary clinics.

Estratégias de Design para Unidades de Bio-conteção: Criando Ambientes Mais Seguros

2020 , Matić, Zorana , Humphreys, Benton , DuBose, Jennifer

Este artigo apresenta a síntese de uma pesquisa sobre o design de unidades de bio-contenção (UBC) que o SimTigrate Design Lab esteve engajado nos últimos 4 anos. Este documento propõe estratégias de design para projetar UBCs mais seguras e eficientes, no intuito de informar o trabalho de arquitetos, designers de interiores, gerentes de instalações e pesquisadores na área de arquitetura para a saúde. Essas estratégias de design deverão ser consideradas na implementação de UBCs existentes e futuras.

Beyond Co-location: Visual Connections of Staff Workstations and Staff Communication in Primary Care Clinics

2020-08 , Lim, Lisa , Kanfer, Ruth , Stroebel, Robert J. , Zimring, Craig

The importance of communication among healthcare providers has been long recognized, and many healthcare organizations are implementing team-based care, with emphasis on staff communication. While previous empirical studies in various settings illustrate the role of built environments in user communication, there is a lack of quantified interpersonal spatial metrics to predict interactions. This study investigates how interpersonal spatial metrics at different scales predict staff communication patterns by empirically studying four primary care clinics that provide team-based care. We found that staff members in clinics with higher visual connections among staff members reported more timely and frequent communication. We also found that staff members talked to each other more frequently when their workstations were visually connected. The findings of this study are expected to help designers and facility managers provide well-designed team-based clinic layouts, beyond just shared work spaces for team members, for improved staff communication.

Design Strategies for Biocontainment Units: Creating Safer Environments. Translated into Farsi.

2020 , Matić, Zorana , Humphreys, Benton , DuBose, Jennifer

This white paper presents a summary of the work on the design of biocontainment units (BCU) that the SimTigrate Design Lab has been engaged in for the past 4 years. This document outlines design strategies for designing a safer and more efficient BCU, and is intended to provide information for designers (architects and interior designers), facility managers, and design researchers. These design strategies should be considered for implementation in both current and future BCUs. This version of the white paper has been translated into Farsi.

Design Strategies for Biocontainment Units: Creating Safer Environments

2020-02-01 , Matić, Zorana , Humphreys, Benton , DuBose, Jennifer

The SimTigrate Design Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology has engaged in research on the design of biocontainment units (BCU) for several years, from the perspectives of both healthcare worker safety and patient experience. In response to increased awareness of the challenges of caring for patients with highly infectious diseases in the wake of the 2014 Ebola outbreak, Georgia Tech, together with Emory University and Georgia State University, took part in a. multidisciplinary research program (Prevention Epicenter of Emory and Atlanta Consortium Hospitals – PEACH), funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It focused on exploring new strategies to improve the safety of both patients and healthcare personnel during care delivery. The SimTigrate research team focused on ways in which the built environment might support or hinder safe doffing of personal protective equipment (PPE) within a BCU.
