Author(s): Alqahtani, F., Alanazi, M., Alassaf, W., Aleanizy, F. S., Aljahany, M., Joseph, M., AlRaye, M.
Since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, healthcare facilities have provided services to patients with suspected or confirmed cases of this and other highly contagious respiratory illnesses. In some areas, emergency departments (EDs) have become important resources for patient populations without other ways to access medical care.

Determining the number of bariatric beds needed in a U.S. acute care hospital

Author(s): Magazine, M., Murphy, M., Schauer, D. P., Wiggermann, N.
The growing prevalence of obesity in the U.S. creates increased healthcare costs including costs associated with providing care for “patients of size” (> than 300 pounds). Too many bariatric beds are an unnecessary expenditure and too few contribute to negative patient and organizational outcomes. Better understanding of bariatric bed demand can improve operational efficiency.

Mental health outcome measures in environmental design research: A critical review

Author(s): Shin, J., Dennis, S., Mohammed, H.
While recent studies show a relationship between well-being and the built environment, few focus specifically on mental health. This study found that access to nature and other design elements of the built environment can improve positive affect (pleasurable feelings), vitality (energy or aliveness), executive functioning (memory, concentration), mood, and general well-being—while also decreasing cortisol (stress).
