SUMMARY:Practical Research: Applying Findings on the Role of Visibility in Healthcare Design
DESCRIPTION:The continuous improvement of the built environment through ongoing research and its application is an essential component of good healthcare facility design. While many accept this as truth\, there is little understanding as to how academic research is conducted or\, perhaps even more importantly\, how to appropriately apply the findings once it’s concluded. \nIn this research focused presentation\, we will introduce the theory and technique of space syntax and observation to explore and measure visibility – and the pivotal role that visibility (visual connectivity) has on essential staff communications and better patient outcomes. From there\, we will continue the discussion to provide examples of how designers and planners can put generic concepts and in-depth research findings into practice to enhance healthcare delivery\, staff efficiency\, and user satisfaction. \n  \nSPEAKER \n \nArsalan Gharaveis\, AIA\, Ph.D.\, NCARB\, IIA\, EDAC\, LEED GA – Senior Medical Planner\, Taylor Design \nArsalan is an architect\, healthcare planner/designer\, educator\, and researcher with over 18 years developing healthcare design solutions that are rooted in evidence-based design. As a senior medical planner\, he enjoys working with clients to create and implement plans that respond to healthcare facilities’ operational needs\, resulting in better patient outcomes. His academic research has been presented at numerous conferences around the globe and published in multiple peer-reviewed journals. \n  \nSPEAKER \n \nJamison Delfino\, NCIDQ\, CHID – Principal & Project Director\, Taylor Design \nAs Principal and Project Director\, Jamison has over 14 years of experience as a design professional focused on the health and science sectors.  Creatively approaching each project with an enhanced sensitivity for patients\, staff\, and caregivers\, she is highly adept at leading diverse project teams while ensuring the design exceeds the client’s expectations.  \n  \nAIA CES: Approved for 1.5 LU|HSW \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n1. Learn how visualization and communication in healthcare facilities can be explored in academic research. \n2. Learn how visual and communication analysis can enhance the effectiveness of facility design in a design firm. \n3. Learn how to apply an evidence-based design process in real life projects \n4. Learn how space syntax and observation can be used to analyze opportunities for staff to visualize patients and other staff. \n  \nPARKING \nFree parking lot + street parking is available. \n  \n*Note to all registrants: When purchasing a ticket\, please double check that the address + zip code that you provide matches the billing information on the card you are using.*
