A New Peace of Mind – a podcast episode on the changing meaning of security in 2020, including our health

September 22, 2020 / Dochitect / Design for Clinical Staff, Design for Patient Safety, Design for Resiliency

Presentations

Title: A New Peace of Mind
Podcast: Pacific Content
Date: September 22, 2020

Episode Summary

2020 has been a year of instability and upheaval, so it’s no surprise many of us have been especially focused on our security. And that comes in many forms – securing our health, our homes, our finances, and even our digital lives. We used to talk about ‘safety in numbers’ – but during the pandemic as we’ve been in quarantine and isolation, we’ve had to rethink what security looks and feels like today. In this episode, hosts Shannon Murphy and Erin Shea explore how this need for fortification has been accelerated by work-from-home orders and lockdowns, and how this year has changed our idea of security for good.

Physician Engagement and Perspective in the Lean Facility Design Process

September 16, 2020 / Dochitect / Design for Clinical Staff, Design for Resiliency

Presentations

Event: 6th European Healthcare Design 2020 Congress, Awards & Exhibition
Presentation type: Poster presentation, Lean Design
Presenters: Ben Bassin, MD, Cemal Sozener, MD, MEng, Diana Anderson, MD, M.Arch, Juliet Rogers, PhD, MPH
Date: September 16, 2020

Clinician involvement is essential to the success of any healthcare design project centered around patient care delivery. Practicing physicians can contribute valuable clinical knowledge to healthcare design projects to ensure the final product meets desired patient care goals.

There are many challenges in obtaining optimal physician engagement in longitudinal design projects, including time constraints, differing priorities, competing interests, insufficient knowledge of design and development process and understanding the value of their contribution.

Because many challenges exist to optimizing physician participation in the process, balancing the perspectives of both the practicing clinician and the healthcare administrator and healthcare consultants are paramount in creating successful healing environments.

AdvantAge Ontario: Designing the Long-Term Care Home for COVID and Beyond

August 31, 2020 / Dochitect / Design for Geriatrics, Design for Infection Control, Design for Resiliency

Webinar

Webinar Title: Designing the Long-Term Care Home for COVID and Beyond
Webinar Date: August 31, 2020
Organization: AdvantAge Ontario

Monday, August 31, 2020 | 2:00pm – 4:00pm 

AdvantAge Ontario is the association of not-for-profit long term care, housing, and services for seniors: “We’ve seen through the pandemic how a long-term care home’s design can acutely influence its ability to prevent and respond to infection outbreaks. But design also affects many other important elements of LTC living. Whether you’re building new, redeveloping, or thinking about adaptations to your existing building, this webinar will equip you with essential knowledge and fresh ideas to consider as you plan. We’ll have a detailed discussion of current design standards and recent changes, what they could mean for your home, and the less understood role of mechanical engineering. Learn about the influence of design on infection control and alternative design approaches that also address other aspects of resident well-being, such as smaller clustered settings. Examples of the impact of design during the pandemic’s spring surge will be reviewed and the implications of provincial funding announcements will be discussed. Bring all your questions for the final part of this timely session.”

Presentations

Title: “Widening the Lens: Clinical Perspectives on Design Thinking in Public Health”
Podcast: The Journal of Health Design
Date: August 20, 2020

The Health Design Podcast · Benjamin Bassin, MD, EDAC

The COVID-19 pandemic has created many stressors and challenges across all levels of low to highly resourced health systems. However, it has also shown the incredible number of opportunities for innovation, ingenuity and system re-engineering. This team believe it is time to support a paradigm change and advocate for healthcare’s next big investment: intentional and embedded partnerships between clinicians, designers, and architects with dedicated resources to ensure an effective collaborative environment to help solve healthcare’s greatest challenges.

Fix Room 16! Designing Healthcare Facilities to be More Resilient & Equitable

May 28, 2020 / Dochitect / Design for Clinical Staff, Design for Infection Control, Design for Resiliency, Health Design & Ethics, The Physician-Architect Model

Presentations

Title: Fix Room 16! Designing Healthcare Facilities to be More Resilient & Equitable
Podcast: Design is Everywhere, Design Museum
Date: May 28, 2020

This is one of the main reasons we’re quarantined, not just to keep ourselves safe from the virus but also to “flatten the curve,” and help our hospitals keep up with a growing number of cases. On this episode we talk about how hospitals are designing solutions for surge capacity and what lessons there are for the future of hospital architecture. Those lessons could be very important as we may see new spikes in COVID-19 and as we must adapt facilities to be equitable for all patients, healthcare workers, and staff. We’re joined by Dr. Diana Anderson, a doctor architect, or Dochitect, currently a geriatric medicine fellow at the University of California, San Francisco; and Dr. Esther Choo, she’s an emergency medicine physician and health services researcher based in Portland, Oregon at Oregon Health & Science University, and she’s the chief medical advisor for a startup called Jupe, which is creating pop-up medical facilities. Plus our weekly dose of good design.

Dochitect co-hosts the Design is Everywhere podcast! Listen HERE.

Healthcare Architecture: A Moral Imperative

January 31, 2020 / Dochitect / Health Design & Ethics

Presentations

Event: Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics – Seminar Series
Title: Healthcare Architecture: A Moral Imperative
Date: January 31, 2020

There is increasing recognition and understanding of the impact built space has on people.

Healthcare architecture has strongly advocated for patient-centered design, but can the resulting concealment of clinical spaces devalue the role of medical professionals? With a recent paradigm shift towards design quality measurement, has the social responsibility of health architects changed?

Obligations to develop an ethically-based framework to structure design decisions and allocation discussions in healthcare architecture are explored.

Healthcare Interior Design 2.0 Podcast

November 11, 2019 / Dochitect / Design for Clinical Staff, Evidence-Based Design, Health Design & Ethics, The Physician-Architect Model

Presentations

Podcast: Healthcare Interior Design 2.0
Date: November 11, 2019

Dochitect is featured on the Healthcare Interior Design 2.0 Podcast!
Listen to @dochitect discuss the idea of what is the moral imperative of the architect to communicate research to clients and discuss potential benefits and harms of design. “Architects are sometimes torn between thinking about the state of healthcare outside of their individual project to a client,” Diana shares. “And I think we often have reservations about measuring design quality.” This and more on the changing face of the healthcare design from a “dochitect’s” perspective.

Habitats for Healers: Architectural Design for Clinicians

October 28, 2019 / Dochitect / Design for Clinical Staff

Presentations

Event: CENTILE (Center for Innovation and Leadership in Education)
Title: Habitats for Healers: Architectural Design for Clinicians
Location: Georgetown University
Date: October 28, 2019

Evidence-based design has focused on the patient experience, but what is the impact of architecture on those delivering care?

This Plenary presentation by Dr. Anderson focuses on aspects of healthcare architecture which impact the experience of delivering care and clinician well-being. Can space design help address some aspects of the burnout and moral distress experienced by providers of care? What is the role of the clinician in the healthcare architecture process?

Clinicians are increasingly asking to acquire new skill-sets and knowledge in design thinking to develop novel modes of practice and models of care. Dr. Anderson explores how cross-disciplinary collaboration between the architect and the clinician provides a mechanism for positive change in healthcare.
