Evidence-Based Design in the NICU Environment Where: Tama, FL AIA Office When: March 3, 2010 at 6: 30 pm Credit: 1 CEU Hour Description A growing body of research evidence demonstrates that environmental conditions, such as lighting quality, acoustics, and privacy affect the well-being of patients, family members and staff (Ulrich et al. 2009). Perhaps nowhere in the healthcare environment is this more important than in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) where fragile infants fight for survival. In response to the increasingly apparent need for developmentally appropriate environments, a growing number of hospitals are constructing single family rooms in the NICU. These environments are purported to reduce infections, increase privacy, and support parent bonding, kangaroo care, and breast-feeding. During this session, the presenter(s) will share information regarding the field of evidence-based design in general, with a specific focus on research involving NICU environments. Specific examples will be provided.

An Evidence-Based Approach to Healthcare Art In this presentation we will provide an overview of the evidence on the impact of art on health and operational outcomes for hospitals. We will share how the research informs practice, and the challenges and opportunities of an evidence-based approach. The case-study of an evidence-based art program with its post-occupancy evaluation will be shared. We will explore the uncharted territories where more information is needed. We will then discuss research studies conducted in-house, with an insight into research design, human compliance issues, and overcoming logistical challenges to conduct research in a private firm. Finally, we will discuss the critical need of a collaborative model to practice evidence-based design and conduct meaningful research. Evidence-Based Practice: Application and Evaluation of an Evidence-Based Art Program Where: At your office, or American Art Resources Office Evidence based design is based on the application of best evidence towards design decisions and then an evaluation of whether the decisions made fulfilled the goals and objectives of the design. For the Mays Clinic in M.D.Anderson a completely evidence-based approach was used to develop a comprehensive art program. Criteria and guidelines for art selection were created based on the existing literature. The artwork was then installed in accordance with these guidelines. 5 years after installation a post occupancy evaluation was conducted with 210 patients and 240 staff members. In this presentation the process of implementing and subsequently evaluating evidence based design for healthcare art programs will be discussed alongwith findings of the P.O.E.

Sustainable Design of Healthcare Facilities Forum: Online EDAC ID: E10-001-BAC Description: This course explores theories and practices of sustainable healthcare design, what it means to create a healthy and healing environment, and how to balance the complex demands of hospitals with those of environmental issues. Topics will include energy and water use intensity, toxicities in building materials, daylighting and opportunities for connections to nature, greening a healthcare campus, use of rating systems, and more. About 40% of the class directly addresses evidence based design topics; the remainder addresses topics specific to sustainability that don't overlap with evidence-based design. The class is broken down into the following weekly units:
