In the United Kingdom, one of the most intensively used ancillary rooms in an acute ward is the soiled workroom (dirty utility room) which “provides for storage of single use containers used for collection of human waste, its subsequent disposal and other associated activities, and the temporary holding of used equipment, materials and refuse prior to transfer to the disposal point to await collection.” A hospital planning team requested a review of a proposed standardized soiled workroom to establish whether a proposed design would provide an optimal layout for efficient and safe clinical activities.

Nursing is a stressful job, and the impacts of stress on performance are well documented. Nursing stress, however, has been typically addressed through operational interventions, even though the ability of the physical environment to modulate stress in humans is well known. This study explores the outcomes of exposure to exterior views from nurse work areas.

Mock-Ups as “Interactive Laboratories”: Mixed Methods Research Using Inpatient Unit Room Mock-Ups

Simulations allow designers and researchers an opportunity to evaluate how users may interact with a proposed environment prior to the construction of a design. While mock-ups have been used in healthcare environments to assess the efficacy of design solutions, to help clients experience proposed design decisions, and to make changes prior to the building phase and evaluate products and technology, minimal literature exists detailing multiple or mixed methods that can be used to evaluate the results associated with the use of mock-ups from a participatory, qualitative, and quantitative perspective.

Hospital Room Design and Health Outcomes of the Aging Adult

Private patient rooms have become the industry standard since the American Institute of Architects (AIA) recommended including private patient rooms in the design of all new acute care hospital construction projects. This recommendation was made due to research suggesting that private patient rooms help reduce infection, increase caregiver efficiency, provide greater privacy, and offer greater opportunity for families to participate in the healing process of their loved ones. Private patient rooms also have been linked to reductions in medication errors, noise levels, and potential for falls. However, evidence has yet to document if private patient rooms are advantageous to all patient populations, nor has it established the actual relationship between room type and health outcomes.

“Evidence-based” implies the use of “scientific” evidence, often obtained through academic research such as RCTs, risk-benefit analysis, and meta-analyses of series of studies, particularly in the area of medicine. EBD, similar to EBM, is to use best-available evidence to inform design decisions.

Objective: The goal of this project was to create an easy-to-administer and inexpensive tool that can help indentify usability issues in a patient room bathroom during the design process so improvements can be made before the final product is constructed and put into operation. Background: The bathroom is an essential part of any hospital patient room, yet it is associated with nurse...

Research has shown many direct and indirect health benefits related to views of nature and access to nature. As hospitals begin to integrate ecological sites, it becomes imperative to understand the interconnection between future users’ attitudes and preferences, intended health outcomes, and the design features within the natural environment.

The transportation of patients inside a hospital, or intra-hospital transit (IHT), has received little attention in literature relating to hospital design despite having a negative impact. The layout and design can negatively affect travel distance and time, which can be reflected in patient complications and health outcomes.
