468671 event 1447236952 1475892887 <![CDATA[Critical Metrics for Designing ICU and Medical-Surgical Rooms: Making Research and Analysis Useful]]> This project for a major academic medical center bed tower project incorporates research into the analysis of best-practice case studies of ICU and inpatient rooms. The goal is to help the design and clinical team share a common understanding of how room layouts impact the ability of providers, patients, and families to achieve goals that define excellent, safe, patient- and-family-centered care. Critical process components include (1) identifying key evidence-based functional requirements for excellent care, (2) developing metrics for measuring ICU and medical-surgical room layouts that can be rigorously and transparently applied, and (3) developing good graphical ways to illustrate findings in a transparent, rapidly actionable format

Learn the key requirements for ICU and inpatient hospital rooms that are needed for superior care.
Obtain metrics for measuring design to achieve requirements.
Present findings in an actionable format.
See how research can be effectively applied in these specific healthcare projects.
