The Center for Health Design - Research in a Snap

JANUARY 2023

In this edition . . .

You will find nearly 70 new Knowledge Repository entries from November and December with links to summaries/abstracts. Download the current edition.

Hot Topic: Patient Experience – Several new studies focus on the patient experience, especially in terms of perceived quality of care. The research topics span from smaller scale design features (e.g., screens for patients to view their EHR, visual aids, and ceiling displays) up to larger scale environments (e.g., operating suits, patient units, and EDs).

The Center is still providing free access to our online Infection Control Toolbox and our always-open-access Knowledge Repository containing over 800 resources on infection control & prevention.

Other topic areas in the Snap include:

Experience
Safety
Care Across the Lifespan
Building Systems & Technology
Design & Evaluation

Placing Users at The Center: Evaluating Exam Room Design for Improved User Experience

A 2022 study by Matić and colleagues defines spatial measures that can be used to support functional scenarios for different users, including patients, clinicians, and care partners. Findings suggest that certain configurations for the provider workstation and exam table may support patients (but may create tradeoffs for other user needs).
