A New Risk Factor: The Role of Layout in Intensive Care Unit Survival

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summary Sentence: This session discusses emerging research exploring the impact of physical environment design on patient outcomes in four intensive care units at Emory University Health System.

Full Summary: This session discusses emerging research exploring the impact of physical environment design on patient outcomes in four intensive care units at Emory University Health System.

Emerging evidence shows that architectural and interior design in intensive care units can be a risk factor for patients, over and above any patient characteristics.  Novel application of existing research tools enable the analysis of well-established, quantified measures of visibility and patterns of clinician behavior. This session discusses emerging research exploring the impact of physical environment design on patient outcomes in four intensive care units at Emory University Health System. Learn key environmental influences on spatial risk as well as how morphology (space syntax) analysis in the design phase can improve patient outcomes.

  • Describe how spatial morphology analysis can be used during design.
  • Describe the mechanism between layout and nursing surveillance activities.
  • Identify design principles to mitigate spatial risk.

Explore opportunities to impact the evidence base.
