The Center for Health Design - Research in a Snap

In this edition . . .

You will find over 40 new Knowledge Repository entries from July and August with links to summaries/abstracts. Download the current edition.

Hot Topic: Pediatric Environments – When it comes to healthcare design, there is a great deal of research on environments for adults and aging populations, and even a good deal on design for infants. But when it comes to pediatric design, the evidence base is lacking. So we are excited to see a few new citations in this area in this edition of the Snap! Among these new additions, you will find a paper on a Pediatric ICU, an overview of European pediatric hospitals, and a study using Lego to engage children in the design process.

And the research continues to accumulate on the link between the built environment and COVID-19 (most of which are free/open-access). The Center is still providing free access to our online Infection Control Toolbox and our always-open-access Knowledge Repository containing over 700 resources on infection control & prevention.

Other topic areas in the Snap include:

Experience
Safety
Care Across the Lifespan
Building Systems & Technology

Key Point Summary

The role of hospital design in reducing anxiety for pediatric patients

Hospitals can be a frightening place for children, and previous research has shown that the environment often plays a negative role in pediatric outcomes. A 2018 study by Cartland and colleagues aims to explore how hospital design can support a better pediatric patient and family experience.
