The Value Analysis of Lean Processes in Target Value Design and Integrated Project Delivery
Author(s): Nanda, U., Rybkowski, Z., Pati, S., Ai, D., Kalyanaraman, N., Nejati, A.
Integrated project delivery (IPD) is a project delivery method that integrates systems, people, business models, and practices in order to optimize project results and maximize efficiency. IPD is also characterized by early involvement of key participants, collaborative decision-making, and liability waivers.

A Study of Hospital Inpatient Unit Design Factors Impacting Direct Patient Care Time, Documentation Time, and Patient Safety
Author(s): Clark, T., Combs, S.
Architects have experimented with numerous inpatient care unit (IPU) designs, such as racetracks, “T-shapes,”, “L-shapes,”, triangular forms, and many others. There is no clear consensus on how the designs of these spaces and other physical features within IPUs influence healthcare provider productivity, safety, and overall effectiveness.

Designing Team Rooms for Collaboration In The Outpatient Clinics
Author(s): DuBose, J., Lim, L., Westlake, R.
Healthcare systems in the U.S. are gradually shifting from “episodic” care delivered in silos to more team-oriented and coordinated approaches. Ambulatory care environments in particular are adopting the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model, which is an integrated, team-based model designed to optimize treatment and management of patients.

Environmental Correlates of Safety and Efficiency in Emergency Departments
Author(s): Pati, D., Harvey, T. E., Vincent, D., Evans, J., Pati, S., Bazuin, D., Derr, M. A.
Whether from professional or governmental institutions or from the popular press, stories abound of the challenges EDs (emergency departments) face (Berger, 2006). Every day, EDs have to treat an ever-rising number of patients coming through their doors, many of whom have highly complex conditions.

Analysis of Departmental Area in Contemporary Hospitals: Calculation Methodologies & Design Factors in Major Patient Care Departments
Author(s): Allison, D., Hamilton, D. K.
Ratios used to calculate proposed departmental gross square footage constitute key information used in the process of programming, planning, and design. The ratio of net [usable] square footage to departmental gross square footage is commonly called the “net-to-gross ratio.” It is used by programmers, planners, and consultants to project the total area of proposed departments based on programmed net square feet required to perform the proposed workload of the department.

The American Disability Association created the Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) in 1991 to address the needs of the physically disabled population. A large percentage of the U.S. population requires assistance for daily routine activities, whether it be the aging population or those with conditions that limit mobility, such as arthritis, stroke, or poor balance.
