Evidence based medicine -> evidence based practive -> EVIDENCE BASED DESIGN physical design variables that support decision making www.healthdesign.org/research/reports Principles:
- Improve quality and saftey
- Patient and Family centered
Hospitals are too noisy!
3 zones in a room: 1. family zone 2. patient zone 3. care giver zone
hospital contruction costs ~ $300 per sq. ft
- incorporate nature, art, music
- moving control from the institution to the individual
- decentralized nurses stations
- sound absorbing ceiling tiles
- acuity adaptable rooms
- flexible spaces
- oversized, windowed single rooms
- computerized order entry
- PDAs
- HAND WASHING
= fewer falls, fewer patient transferes, less infections, reduced nurse turnover, reduced drug costs
