You’re working on a specific project type and want to know all you can about the evidence. You want to know the latest on noise or another outcome. You want to find out more about a layout issues for planning. You may have internal databases, you can look at other projects, but you also want to know what the research says. Keeping up with the latest research can be a challenge, and often you have to pay for papers. The AIA Academy of Architecture for Health and The Center for Health Design (a non-profit that advances design to improve outcomes) have created a substantial knowledge repository of research studies covering a range of topics that grows on a daily basis. There are currently more than 4,000 entries and more than 700 summaries. This session will cover the scope of the Knowledge Repository, and how to use it, through a live demo for behavioral health, as an example.
After participating in this webinar attendees will be equipped to:
Understand the foundation and on-going direction of the Knowledge Repository.
Gain knowledge related to the availability of various journal articles and whitepaper studies related to safety.
Recognize the value of using peer-reviewed research in addressing both familiar and unfamiliar design problems to achieve the best possible result for well-being.
Be equipped to navigate the Knowledge Repository to effectively access its contents using a case example of behavioral health design.
This session is part of the Beyond Basics Series by the Academy of Architecture for Health. The web-based 60-minute seminars are tailored to provide established healthcare design professionals with conceptual and practical knowledge applicable to their practice.
