Previous studies have examined how specific building characteristics contribute to instances of dry eyes and headaches among office workers; however, this has yet to be explored within healthcare environments. The results of this study found that room types, indoor air quality, and visual quality all influenced rates of dry eyes and headaches in healthcare workers.

Staphylococcal, particularly methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), infections are pervasive in intensive care units (ICUs). However, little research focuses on areas of contamination within neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), even though Staphylococci can cause severe infection in infants.

Since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, healthcare facilities have provided services to patients with suspected or confirmed cases of this and other highly contagious respiratory illnesses. In some areas, emergency departments (EDs) have become important resources for patient populations without other ways to access medical care.

The growing prevalence of obesity in the U.S. creates increased healthcare costs including costs associated with providing care for “patients of size” (> than 300 pounds). Too many bariatric beds are an unnecessary expenditure and too few contribute to negative patient and organizational outcomes. Better understanding of bariatric bed demand can improve operational efficiency.
