Abstract:
Healthcare facilities are among the most complicated facilities to plan, design, construct and operate. A new breed of hospitals is considering the impact of the built environment on healthcare worker productivity and patient recovery in their design, construction, and operation. A crucial subset of healthcare facilities are children's hospitals where the consequences of poor building system design and performance have the potential to seriously impact young lives with compromised health. Green facilities are not always pursued: they are perceived as difficult to build and costing more than equivalent conventional hospitals. This study explored the design process of the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) and Penn State's Hershey Medical Center Children's Hospital to understand the critical steps and processes for green children's hospital design. Producing a series of process maps that identify the key characteristics in the complex design requirements of a green children's hospital, this paper reveals the importance of design process to design quality. More broadly, this research will help future project teams meet the complex design requirements of green children's hospitals.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify barriers to use of outdoor spaces in Texas pediatric healthcare facilities. BACKGROUND: Available research on hospital healing gardens and outdoor spaces has indicated that despite several health benefits of garden visitation for staff, patients, and family members, these amenities are not being used to their fullest capacity. Previous researchers have recommended design features such as comfortable seats and adequate shade to increase garden visitation in healthcare setting. However no quantitative data have demonstrated significance of correlation between presence of these design features and garden use. The present study served to statistically support design guidelines suggested by previous researchers and introduce new guidelines. METHODS: Site visits and surveys were conducted in five green outdoor spaces in three pediatric hospitals in east Texas. Hospital visitors, family members, and staff responded to questions concerning barriers to garden visitation, their visitation habits, and satisfaction with the garden features. The study was reviewed and approved by Institutional Review Boards of the relevant hospitals and academic institutions. RESULTS: A negative significant correlation was found between staff garden use and dissatisfaction with quality of seats and poor shade. While quality of seats didn't impact visitor and family member garden visitation, a significant negative correlation was found between poor shade and their garden use. CONCLUSIONS: The study served to statistically support previous design suggestions for hospital gardens, and introduced new design guidelines. Design recommendations include functionality, visibility, accessibility, exclusivity, and availability of shade and seats.

Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of a standardized educational program to improve nursing competency on newly graduated nurses in a children's hospital after developing and applying a pediatric nurse education program. The effectiveness of the program was confirmed by evaluating the clinical competency and field adaptation.Methods: In the first step, an education program was developed using the analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation (ADDIE) model. As a second step, a similar experimental study of a single group repeat measures design was conducted to evaluate the clinical competency and field adaptation over time after application of the program. Additionally, a focus group interviews were conducted to collect subjective data on the effects and improvement points of the program.Results: As a result of applying the program, there was a significant change in the clinical competence and the field adaptation of newly graduated nurses in a children’s hospital. The categories derived from the focus group interviews were “getting special guidance,” “better care,” “becoming a nurse at a children's hospital” and “winning together.”Conclusion: It was confirmed that the education program enhances the clinical competency of new nurses in children's hospitals. In addition, it provided the necessary data to understand the experiences of new nurses, help them adapt effectively, and establish appropriate interventions.

Abstract:
Healthcare constructions are public buildings that necessitate technical, healing and medical conditions, require common action from a number of disciplines and accommodate differing scales within themselves. Recently, these constructions have been a field of study whose momentum have continued to speed up for varying disciplines in terms of healing factors. This condition can be evaluated in terms of the basic requirement of “well-being” for each individual, the fact that the definition of health has become more comprehensive and the changes on spatial requirements in accord with developing technology. The definition by World Health Organization (WHO) will be distinctive for designers. WHO stated that “Health is not only protection from diseases and microbes but also a state of well-being physically, mentally and socially.” Furthermore, excitement, hope and other positive emotions that can be conveyed to human soul through design can be viewed as the basis of health philosophy constructed on the condition of “well-being” Even though the concept of health involves a comprehensive definition, its perception by users indicates change over time and it can be considered that this perception is far from a holistic approach in parallel with the definition of health. Healthcare constructions include places that have negative connotations in the conscious of the society. The design of modern healing places as livable spots, environments to where feelings of belonging can be attached and environments of relaxing and healing therapeutics has become a delayed requirement. This will only start with understanding the role of place on healing. Hospitals can be regarded as type of constructions that are convenient to healing reading. Therefore, the efforts to create theoretical background have been put forward in this study in order to evaluate the relation between healthcare constructions and perception of places to provide reading over hospitals. The study will mention hospital buildings in the historical process and changes on the healing perception of people. It is impossible to design the study independent of users in this healing reading from past to present. With the evaluation carried out in this respect, today’s spatial construction perception will be evaluated over The Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne, Australia and providing recommendations on construction design is targeted. Keywords: Healing Places, Hospitals, Hospital design, Healing Design, Healthcare Constructions, Spatial Perception.

Abstract:
Engineering and medicine has been intertwined for a very long time and in the recent years the relationship has been getting stronger and more important to the advance of healthcare. Surgeons and engineers are collaborating are using 3-D models to plan complex procedures. To do that, engineers must speak a language surgeons can understand. This article looks at how Boston Children's Hospital has invested in the Cardiac Surgery Research department and wants engineers engaged “in the room where it happens.” Then they can observe, study, and communicate with surgeons to truly understand their problems and the type of solutions that they would want to use.

Abstract Background The nationwide decline in pediatric admissions to community hospitals threatens the sustainability of small pediatric residency programs. Little is known about the response of small programs to this challenge. Objectives We report on the design and evaluation of an innovative, collaborative model for pediatric inpatient training between an academic community medical center and a children's hospital. Methods We describe the operational, academic, and financial features of the model. Outcome measures include patient volume and subspecialty mix, resident and faculty perceptions as reported in an anonymous survey, and Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Residency Review Committee (RRC) review. Results In 2003, Albert Einstein Medical Center (Einstein) closed its pediatric inpatient unit and established an independent teaching service at St Christopher's Hospital for Children (St Christopher's) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Under the new model, patient volume and subspecialty mix more than tripled. Einstein residents and faculty identified 5 major strengths: level of responsibility and decision making, caring for medically complex children, quality of teaching, teamwork, and opportunity to participate in academic activities at a children's hospital. St Christopher's leadership reported increased volume, no disruption of their residency program, and no dilution of clinical teaching material. The Einstein program was reaccredited by the RRC in 2006 for 2 years and in 2009 for 4 years. Conclusion A collaborative model for inpatient training was successful in maintaining a community hospital–based pediatric residency program. Positive outcomes were documented for the residency program, the parent community hospital, and the collaborating children's hospital.

Abstract:
This study was conducted to increase our understanding of children and young people’s experience of a hospital environment and to identify the salient attributes of the physical environment in their experience. There were three specific aims: to describe children and young people’s experience of a hospital environment and identify what constitutes a supportive paediatric environment; to examine the role of the physical environment in patients’ feeling of well-being; and to highlight the capacity of participatory research with children and young people to inform evidence-based paediatric design. At this stage, there has been very little healthcare design research carried out with populations of children and young people. Well-being research with children and young people in paediatric environments that identifies the potential supportive attributes in this environment is also very limited. Historically research on children’s health and well-being has been dominated by a focus on the prevalence of disorders, problems and disabilities. More recently, in response to the change to health promotion, positive attributes have been included in well-being and satisfaction measures. At this stage, there are still many fewer positive measures. Within the body of literature that exists in healthcare, healthcare design research, and well-being research, there are only a small number of participatory studies that focus on children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation, and an even smaller number that include children and young people’s experience of hospital environments. The picture that is created by the research that exists is patchy. There is a need for a more holistic understanding of children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation and of hospital environments from their own perspectives. Based on these gaps in current knowledge, two research questions were developed. The first was concerned with describing children and young people’s experience of the sociophysical environment of a paediatric hospital. The second question was concerned with understanding the role of the physical environment in children and young people’s feeling of well-being in a hospital environment. In addressing these questions, the intention was to identify attributes within the hospital setting which collectively comprise a supportive environment for children and young people and which contribute to children and young people’s feeling of well-being in a paediatric setting. The current study was conducted as an exploratory qualitative case study and carried out at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, in Sydney, Australia. Using participatory research techniques, the sequence of the study included two pilot studies and the main study. The focus was on understanding the experiences of longer-term patients of a paediatric hospital environment. In the main study 25 children and young people, aged between 9-18 years, who had been in hospital for at least a week completed semi-structured interviews in which they talked about their response to the environment of the hospital and their experience of hospitalisation. Data analysis was completed using a combination of concept mapping and thematic analysis techniques. Preliminary findings were used as the basis of a further member-checking task carried out with a further six children and young people before conclusions were reached. The findings reveal that children and young people’s experience of a paediatric setting involves a number of major areas of influence including their personal situation, their social experience, their interaction with the physical environment, opportunities and characteristics of the organisation, and the effect of time. The findings also reveal that children’s feeling of well-being within this experience is linked to their ability to feel comfortable in the environment, to maintain a positive state of mind, and to remain positively engaged with the experience and the environment. This research reveals a dynamic relationship between children and young people and a paediatric environment that children and young people actively manage and shape. It reveals some of the key considerations in children and young people’s experience of hospitalisation. It also reveals why these considerations are important and what role they play in patients’ experience and feeling of well-being. These findings provide the basis for further research and they have implications for future design and research practice in paediatric healthcare settings.

Abstract:
Hospitals are constantly evolving to keep pace with the latest medical technologies. Whether it is a refurbishment of an existing facility or the addition of a new unit, the design process usually focuses on the technological requirements rather than the human elements of such an undertaking. The Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis presents an architectural opportunity to incorporate psychology of the environment into the design and construction of a new Cancer Unit. By balancing the technological requirements with the physical and psychological needs of the pediatric bone marrow transplant and hematology/oncology patients, one can create a healing environment more conducive to a rapid recovery.

This study was conducted to increase the understanding of the involvement of children in the design process of the children's hospitals environment from their perspectives. It was aimed to build rich picture of the process, methods, benefits and problems associated with engaging children during the design process of children’s hospital. It also provides a set of guidelines to apply for the process of involvement, which can be applied in future design projects conducted with children. The research methodology employed a case study approach, including two case studies: Royal Alexandra children’s Hospital and Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. The process of identifying children’s preferences and considering them into the different stages of the design process is described. Different research techniques have been applied, including literature review and synthesis, interviews and content analysis. The contribution of this research is to address the gap identified in the literature and practice between the hospital design process and the needs of its users, i.e. children. It is intended to addresses the role of user perspective, the empowerment of the users, and the quality of the final outcome. These issues are examined from the points of view of hospital staff, designer, PFI. As a result, a better understanding of children and young people’s participation during the design process of hospital was achieved. The research has produced a set of guidelines for the process of involvement, which can be applied in future design projects to support project teams to define the process and tools for children’s participation.

Abstract:
Children are the most important asset for the society's future. They develop into maturity depending upon how they are moulded by their families, society, and the environment. They are very sensitive and could easily get influenced or affected by the slightest change. Therefore it is important to maintain a normal set-up for them under all of their routine and disturbed mental and physical conditions.Sickness and hospitals are one thing that affect a child's psychology. Children dread to get into the harsh technological environments of today's medical environments. Hospitals are constantly evolving to keep pace with the latest medical technologies. Additions or refurbishments or a totally new set-up usually focuses on the technological requirements rather than the human element of such an undertaking. The Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis presents an architectural opportunity to incorporate psychology of the environment into the design and construction of a new outpatient unit. By balancing the technological requirements with the physical and pschological needs of a child patient, one can create a healing environment more conducive to a rapid recovery. This thesis explores one of the possibilities of creating such an environment.

Abstract:
This research focuses on four main topics: Children’s’ Cognitive Development as it relates to age-appropriate interior design; Children’s Hospital Design and healing environments; Public Spaces in Hospitals – interior architecture and interior design; Contextual Issues – specifically, the religious, ethnic and national context of Palestine. Literature indicates that research is needed in the design of healing environments for children in order to create spaces that are child-friendly and meet their cognitive development needs. There is little research available about the design of the public areas of children’s hospital including the main entrance, atrium and thoroughfares. Also, most empirical research uses traditional social science methods to understand the requirements for healing environments for children (e.g. interviews, observations). Few studies use design- or arts-based approaches. Furthermore, most research has been conducted in the West, with little research from other countries, like Palestine, where few hospitals are devoted only to children. This research aimed to determine: (1) key design factors, functions, constraints and programme requirements for designing the public spaces of children’s hospitals in an age-appropriate way to promote healing; (2) how context-specific issues relating to Palestine play a role in determining the key design factors. From a critical analysis of the literature, specific research questions and the development of a primary research plan were developed. The main research question is: For a new children’s hospital in Palestine, how should the public areas (i.e., main entrance, atrium, and throughfares) be designed so that they are suitable for all age ranges and promote healing? In Palestine, qualitative data were collected during nine co-design and cocreation workshops that included arts-based activities and semi-structured interviews. Participants included children from 3-18 years, parents, doctors, nurses, reception and admissions staff, and four groups of designers. All participants, excluding the designers, participated in drawing and modeling activities. The use of drawings with children is an indispensable tool because their verbal expression is often not highly developed, and because preferences and ideas can be expressed more intuitively. Similarly, models can be effective tools because children can express ideas and preferences about form, materials and size through them in a way that words alone cannot describe. This study uses a thematic analysis approach to analysing the qualitative data. The results of data analysis were sorted into main themes and sub-themes. The key findings of this study are: context-specific issues (i.e. culture, gender, separation and religion issues); physical environments: interior architecture and interior design – medical spaces (e.g. emergency, outpatients, triage room and others); non-medical spaces (e.g. play areas, indoor and outdoor green areas, entertainment activities, spaces for eating, reception, waiting areas and admissions); interior design elements (e.g. image design, art, form and shape, wayfinding signage, and colours); and environmental considerations (e.g. noise, hygiene, smell, and light). These findings will inform guidelines and recommendations and will be supported by visual models for the design of children’s hospitals, particularly public spaces in the particular context of Palestine. The guidelines will contribute to the creation of supportive healing environments for all stakeholders, but particularly for children. This study demonstrates that practical design methods in the research process can be very effective in fostering creativity and in drawing out ideas and preferences from young children and other stakeholders. Such methods provide a novel approach to the design of healing environments for children.

Abstract:
Abstract Playgrounds have a number of key design elements intended to protect children from serious injuries. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimated that most playground equipment-related injuries occurred when a child fell from the equipment onto the ground [1]. It was estimated that in 1999 approximately 206,000 playground equipment-related injuries required a hospital emergency room visit [2]. Specifically, for children under five years of age there were 29.1 injuries per 10,000 children and for children ages 5 to 14 years old there were 34.8 injuries per 10,000 children. At the time, about half of the injuries on public equipment occurred on playground climbing equipment [2]. With the recent heightened public focus on children’s head injuries, this paper will review the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) data to better understand the injury trends over time, quantify risks associated with playground equipment usage and discuss the design features intended to mitigate these hazards. The analysis is restricted to children ages 2 to 12 years of age who were injured during the timeframe 2000 to 2020. The focus of the analysis will be head injuries resulting from falls associated with playground climbing equipment. The severity of injuries will also be discussed. Further, the identified head injury characteristics will be evaluated relative to the performance requirements outlined in the industry standards and CPSC guidelines.

Abstract:
Physical, social and mental well-being is the basic assumption which allows children to experience hospitalization positively. In this age of medical-scientific progress and technological development on hospital equipment, the designers of instruments for healthcare focus their activities on developing a coherent patient-centered approach which aims to consider the person globally. Currently, the rigors of the humanization of pediatric care are elaborating products which have both technological innovation and effective design specifications on children’s implicit needs and expectations. Mainly, the active, collaborative, and coordinated presence and accessibility of the family and of the pediatric patient in the care setting are unachieved goals in this field. The article presents the research project Oplà, a 3D acquisition system, as a demonstration of how emerging technologies, culture, communication and collaboration can help significantly in mapping out new diversification measures in standard clinical practice, to enhance the assistance services, by adopting a Human-centered approach strengthened by the iterative process of design thinking.

Abstract:
Emergency Department (ED) is a complex care delivery environment in a hospital that provides time sensitive urgent and lifesaving care [1]. Emergency medicine is an unscheduled practice and therefore providers experience extreme fluctuations in their workload. ED crowding is a major concern that affects the efficacy of the ED workflow, which often is challenged by long wait times, overuse of observation units, patients either leaving without being seen by a provider and non-availability of inpatient beds to accommodate patients after diagnosis [2]. Evaluating ED workflow is a challenging task due to its chaotic nature, with some success using time-motion studies and novel capacity management tools are nowadays becoming common in ED to address workflow related issues [3]. Several studies reveal that Electronic Medical Record (EMR) adoption has not resulted in significant ED workflow improvements nor reduced the cost of ED operations. Since raw EMR data does not offer operational and clinical decision making insights, advanced EMR data analytics are often sought to derive actionable intelligence from EMR data that can provide insights to improve ED workflow. Improving ED workflow has been an important topic of research because of its great potential to optimize the urgent care needed for the patients and at the same time save time and cost. Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) is a wireless automatic identification and data capture technology device that has the potential for improving safety, preventing errors, saving costs, and increasing security and therefore improving overall organizational performance. RFID technology use in healthcare has opened a new space in healthcare informatics research that provides novel data to identify workflow process pitfalls and provide new directions [4]. The potential advantages of RFID adoption in healthcare and especially in ED has been well recognized to save costs and improve care delivery [5]. However, the large upfront infrastructure costs, need for an integrated health information technology (HIT), advanced analytical tools for big data analysis emerging from RFID and skilled data scientists to tackle the data to derive actionable intelligence discourage many hospitals from adoption RFID technology despite its potential advantages. Our recent pilot study on the RFID data analytics demonstrated the feasibility of quantifying and analyzing two novel variables such as ‘patient alone’ time defined as the total time a patient spends alone without interaction with a health care staff in the ED and ‘provider time’ defined as the total time a patient spends interacting with any health care staff [6]. The study motivated a more comprehensive big data analytics of RFID data which can provide better insights into optimizing ED workflow which can improve the quality of care in the ED and also reduce cost. In this work, the authors attempt to describe the RFID adoption in the ED at the Saint Mary’s Hospital at Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, MN, a level one trauma center both for children and adults as a step towards optimizing ED workflow.

Abstract:
Abstract Intensive medical attention of preterm babies is crucial to avoid short-term and long-term complications. Within neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), cribs are equipped with electronic devices aimed at: monitoring, administering drugs and supporting clinician in making diagnosis and offer treatments. To manage this huge data flux, a cloud-based healthcare infrastructure that allows data collection from different devices (i.e., patient monitors, bilirubinometers, and transcutaneous bilirubinometers), storage, processing and transferring will be presented. Communication protocols were designed to enable the communication and data transfer between the three different devices and a unique database and an easy to use graphical user interface (GUI) was implemented. The infrastructure is currently used in the “Women’s and Children’s Hospital G.Salesi” in Ancona (Italy), supporting clinicians and health opertators in their daily activities.

Abstract:
Background. Timely discharge of hospitalized patients can prevent patient harm, improve patient satisfaction and quality of life, and reduce costs. Numerous strategies have been tested to improve the efficiency and safety of patient recovery and discharge, but hospitals continue to face challenges. Purpose. This Technical Brief aimed to identify and synthesize current knowledge and emerging concepts regarding systematic strategies that hospitals and health systems can implement to reduce length of stay (LOS), with emphasis on medically complex or vulnerable patients at high risk for prolonged LOS due to clinical, social, or economic barriers to timely discharge. Methods. We conducted a structured search for published and unpublished studies and conducted interviews with Key Informants representing vulnerable patients, hospitals, health systems, and clinicians. The interviews provided guidance on our research protocol, search strategy, and analysis. Due to the large and diverse evidence base, we limited our evaluation to systematic reviews of interventions to decrease hospital LOS for patients at potentially higher risk for delayed discharge; primary research studies were not included, and searches were restricted to reviews published since 2010. We cataloged the characteristics of relevant interventions and assessed evidence of their effectiveness. Findings. Our searches yielded 4,364 potential studies. After screening, we included 19 systematic reviews reported in 20 articles. The reviews described eight strategies for reducing LOS: discharge planning; geriatric assessment or consultation; medication management; clinical pathways; inter- or multidisciplinary care; case management; hospitalist services; and telehealth. All reviews included adult patients, and two reviews also included children. Interventions were frequently designed for older (often frail) patients or patients with chronic illness. One review included pregnant women at high risk for premature delivery. No reviews focused on factors linking patient vulnerability with social determinants of health. The reviews reported few details about hospital setting, context, or resources associated with the interventions studied. Evidence for effectiveness of interventions was generally not robust and often inconsistent—for example, we identified six reviews of discharge planning; three found no effect on LOS, two found LOS decreased, and one reported an increase. Many reviews also reported patient readmission rates and mortality but with similarly inconsistent results. Conclusions. A broad range of strategies have been employed to reduce LOS, but rigorous systematic reviews have not consistently demonstrated effectiveness within medically complex, high-risk, and vulnerable populations. Health system leaders, researchers, and policymakers must collaborate to address these needs.

Integration of reproductive health services for men in health and family welfare centers in Bangladesh. Population Council, 2004. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh17.1006.

Full text
Abstract:
Since the mid-1970s, the Bangladesh national family planning program primarily focused on motivating women to use modern contraceptive methods and encouraging them to seek services from clinics. In addition, female field workers were recruited to deliver contraceptive methods at homes. The program design facilitated women’s access to information and medical care through clinics and home visits. In the process, however, the medical needs of males were marginalized. Men generally seek services from pharmacies, private practitioners, and district hospitals, and often ignore preventive steps and postpone seeking medical care for chronic health conditions. In cases of acute illness, they often resort to self-medication. As noted in this report, the study’s aim was to integrate male reproductive health services within the existing government female-focused health-care delivery system. The study concluded that reproductive health services for men could easily be integrated into the health and family welfare centers without affecting the clinics’ focus on serving women and children.
