Physicians traditionally don’t view space as a component of patient care delivery. Nurses, however, treat the physical space as part of the continuum of care. They attempt to triage the sickest patients, based upon bed availability, to locations with greatest visibility and adjacency using a ‘neighborhood’ or team approach. Nurses view their unit as a ‘one size does NOT fit all’ situation. This is the underlying construct of precision medicine. In this webinar, presenters will discuss the next step of precision medicine in the ICU environment and how to adapt the existing space to improve patient care. They used the Caring Behavior Inventory 16 survey to understand the patient and family perspective of care delivery according to location of their patient room. The study focused on four questions related to the physical space and will report the results of this pilot study. Their demonstration will promote discussion on where the optimal caring locations can be for both the care team and the patient and family.
Understand precision medicine and its relationship to caring and the healthcare built environment.
Identify architectural components in the 'Caring Behavior Inventory 16' model.
Recognize theoretical and simulated models of caring related to the layout of intensive care space.
Discuss next steps for future design incorporating caring behavior inventory results.
Susan O’Hara, PhD, MPH, RN, Assistant Professor, Clemson University School of Nursing
Susan O’Hara, PhD, MPH, RN is an assistant professor teaching Community Health Nursing in the Clemson University School of Nursing following completion of a post-doctoral faculty and embedded scholar position with the Schools of Nursing and Architecture at Clemson University’s School of Health Research (CUSHR). Dr. O’Hara, served as the director of cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation where she wrote the first hospital business plan to determine feasibility of building a new rehabilitation center in an adjoining community catchment area. This business plan was based on the triangulation of epidemiology, economic, and clinical care outcome data. She has also presented nationally at academic and professional conferences and has published her research work. Her current ethnographic research interests are focused on Macrocognition in the Health Care Built Environment – how the layout of a space affects interprofessional adaptation of cognition to complexity and patient care quality and safety as well as the relationship of caring to the physical layout. She is also working to better understand the relationship between the home physical environment and patient care.
Dr. John Cull, Assistant Professor, Medical Director of Medicine/Surgery ICU, Greenville Health System
Dr. Cull completed medical school at Wake Forest School of Medicine. He did his surgery residency at Rush University Medical Center and his Critical Care/Trauma fellowship at Cook County Hospital. He received grant funding from the Gift of Hope Grant Program to perform research identifying structural barriers to organ donation. Dr. Cull began working for the Greenville Health System in 2015 as a trauma/critical care surgeon. He is the medical director of the Medicine/Surgery ICU and serves as program director for the newly created Surgical Critical Care Fellowship. He has worked closely with Clemson on multiple projects. Dr. Cull along with Dr. Sehorn has developed a Clemson/GHS research collaborative that pairs Clemson undergraduate students to assist USC-Greenville medical students to complete student developed research ideas. Over the last 3 years he has successfully partnered with Clemson faculty resulting in the following ongoing research projects:
• Early detection of shock using micro pH probes (Dr. Hai Xiao).
• Machine Learning to Determine Fluid Responsiveness in Patients (Dr. D Hudson Smith)
• Teamwork and ICU design to improve outcomes (Dr. Susan O'Hara)
• Moral Distress of Nurses in the ICU (Dr. Marissa Shuffler)
