“Everything happens in the hallways”: Exploring user activity in the corridors at two rehabilitation units

Author(s): Colley, J., Zeeman, H., Kendall, E.
This research study focused on recording activities occurring in corridors of a Spinal Cord Injury Unit and a Brain Injury Unit and how the design of the corridor influences the activities affecting patients and staff experience. The study results focused on three factors: mobility/movement, delivery of care and experience of that care, and finally “spillover space” activities (activities occurring in the corridor other than mobility/movement).

Safety, Performance, and Satisfaction Outcomes in the Operating Room: A Literature Review

Author(s): Joseph, A., Bayramzadeh, S., Zamani, Z., Rostenberg, B.

Human skin is covered in both pathogenic and non-pathogenic flora, which can be transmitted from surface to surface in a way that may or may not be associated with nosocomial infection. The transmission of microorganisms within healthcare environments presents the possibility of nosocomial infection, especially in the cases of Staphylococcus aureus, enterocci, Pseudomonas spp, Klebsiella spp, and Acinetobacter spp.
