Noise in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) can be a primary factor for stress for preterm infants, their family, and staff. High sound levels can potentially harm sensorineural systems of the infants. Literature shows that low background sounds are crucial to neurological development of preterm infants.

Literature indicates that the steady increase in the demand for radiological services in the past several years has not been matched by a proportionate increase in the number of radiologists. The authors cite literature stating that patients wait long periods for outpatient radiological services. Healthcare system managers believe that optimizing productivity of radiologists could help address...

More and more designers and other stakeholders are emphasizing that the design of healthcare facilities need to be informed by patient perspectives. Authors indicate that even though the intent in the architecture and construction industry is to incorporate patient-centered design, there is little research reflecting the perspectives on the design factors in healthcare facilities.

The Institute of Medicine has identified poor communication among the patient care team as one of the most common causes of serious errors in patient care. There was a desire in this organization to create a culture of team-oriented continuity of care by changing the mindset of handoff reporting to handover reporting communication among multidisciplinary care team members on key aspects of the patient’s daily plan of care. They developed a communication tool that included key areas of care (tests, care goals and progress toward those goals, treatments, and consultation recommendations) and printed the topic areas on the glass door of the patient room. The information was updated regularly throughout the day/night so that the most current information on patient status was available any time for rounding by various care providers, specialists, and consultants. The information was also available for viewing by the patient’s family.
