CAMA, Inc.—Evidence-Based Process for Healthcare Design The project team for Dublin Methodist Hospital in Dublin, Ohio was instructed by the hospital administration to deliver a hospital design that would revolutionize healthcare delivery. The CAMA design team was encouraged to take measured risks and use an evidence-based design (EBD) approach from which to launch innovative concepts. The resulting design is a 94-bed hospital that blurs the boundaries between inside and outside. It has accessible outdoor gardens, plentiful views, and ample indoor lighting. On arrival at the hospital, greeters welcome and carefully attend to patient and family needs throughout the building. Patient rooms are private, adaptable, and standardized. All rooms include family space equipped for work with wireless Internet and sleeping space for family members. In other hospitals, shared plumbing lines result in making adjacent rooms mirror images of each other. Such differences in orientation make the space less efficient and can lead to medical error because of room layout. The intention of standardization in all patient rooms at Dublin (oriented in the same direction same- handed—not mirror images, all looking the same) is to reduce medical errors and increase staff efficiency. With the use of EBD, the design team was able to learn from other industries about standardization practices that reduce errors and increase efficiency. 1. Family workspace equipped with wireless Internet, reading lamp, mini refrigerator, flat screen television, and large, operable window. 5. Patient station—includes nurse call, lighting controls, Internet access, food service, and education. 3. Bathrooms located on the headwall have a 4’0” wide opening and a handrail leading from the bed to the toilet to prevent falls. 2. Double sleep sofa is available for family members to spend the night. 4. Acuity-adaptable headwall intended to reduce patient transfers. 6. Handwashing sink designed as a focal point and located at the entrance. Investigate and Reflect . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Boundaries organize interior space even if they are not structural or permanent. Inside a restaurant, sitting in a booth, space is defi ned by its partitions and seating. In an offi ce building, glass panels may establish boundar- ies, Figure 7-13 A and B. The height of walls, ceilings, windows, doorways, bal- conies, and stairwells individualizes an interior space. Commercial hotel foyers, for example, appear unique depending on these features.to As you walk from one room another or one enclosed area to another, you experience the interior space. The quality of interior space—its ability to comfort or serve as a sanctuary—is what you experience and remember. In an interior, the size of openings has a signifi cant impact on the human sense of containment. In addition, how much of the space is enclosed impacts feelings about that space. For example, in a room with many windows, the space appears lighter and more open than in a space with one small window, Figure 7-14 . As a person moves through an interior space, he or she may fi nd small or large as well as partially or fully Designer Profilei Kia Weatherspoon, Allied ASID—Passionate Ki a Weatherspoon, pr nc i pal of DETERMINED by DESIGN i n Washisoldii ngton, D.C., was a dancer turned er who fell i n love w i th i nter i or des gn.

Workplace etiquette is a set of guide- lines for appropri ate behavior on the job. An employer’s employee handbook includes a code of conduct that outlines the manner in which employees should behave while at work and when representing the company design fi rm, clients, or the profession. For instance, profes-or sional organizations, such as ASID, have guiding princi- ples or codes of ethics by which members of a profes- sion should conduct themselves ( see Appendix A—ASID Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct ). Companies may defi ne specifi c issues as inappropri ate, unethical, or illegal. For example, employers have rules for maintaining confi dentiality, avoiding computer threats, using company equipment, downloading software. Company Equipmentand Company equipment is designated for business-related functions, not for personal use. Offi ce equipment includes desktop computers, digital tablets, phones, and photocopy machines. Employers provide this equipment to employees to improve effi ciency.
