While there are studies focused on the effect that architectural layout, space planning, and adjacencies have on workflow patterns at the unit level, there are few studies at the micro level of individual procedure rooms or surgical suites. The layout of the OR and the placement of equipment may contribute to extraneous and unnecessary movement or create barriers to safety and efficiency, resulting in surgical workflow disruption (SFDs).

This study explored the impact of the workplace physical environment on staff in a residential aged care (RAC) facility in Australia. There is a current and projected shortage of RAC workers in Australia. Historically, research has focused on traditional methods to support the RAC workforce, including staff recruitment, staff wages, funding training, career creation, regulations, work design, staff conditions, staff retention, workforce planning, and new models of care. This study sought to determine the impact of workplace design features on staff.
