One of the key components for limiting spread of healthcare–associated infectious disease is the practice of adequate infection control. A cornerstone of infection control is ensuring that healthcare workers wash their hands at appropriate times. Some reports suggest that role models, group behavior, and the level of managerial support influence reported levels of compliance. However, few studies have prospectively evaluated the association between hand-hygiene compliance and building design.

Surgeon performance in operating rooms directly impacts quality of car, healthcare productivity, patient satisfaction, and many other healthcare outcomes. However, while performing complex surgical tasks, surgeons are often exposed to fatigue and stress caused by organizational, environmental and team-related factors. Common stressors in operating rooms include noise, inappropriate temperature, sleep deprivation, time pressures due to scheduling, workload, and unsuitable ergonomics.
