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

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.

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.

Title: Architecture and Medicine Podcast with Diana Anderson and Emi Kiyota
Date: October 17, 2019

Dochitect is featured on the Geripal Podcast!

Alex: What do you get when you mix a doctor and an architect?

Eric: An Archidoc?

Alex: No a Dochitect. What do you get when you mix a gerontologist with an architect?

Eric: A gerontolitect?

Alex: No an environmental gerontologist.

Re-designed spaces also have the potential to improve outcomes for older adults and people with serious illness. Further, redesigned spaces can improve quality of life for healthcare providers, and those benefits may be passed on to our patients.

Listen to the podcast with Dochitect Diana Anderson, MD, M. Arch (UCSF geriatrics fellow) and Emi Kiyota, PhD, environmental gerontologist.
