HCS 529 WEEK 3 Using Evidence-Based Design Principles to Design

Using Evidence-Based Design Principles to Design

Imagine you are the health care administrator that has been reviewing the architect’s recommendations for toilet placement within the new wing of the hospital. The architect has provided you with four toilet placement options. The options are outboard, inboard, same-handed, or nested layout. It is important to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each recommendation prior to providing your opinion of the placement to the architects.

Use the Using Evidence-Based Design Principles to Design Worksheet to organize your research of evidence-based design principles and the four toilet placements within the new wing of the hospital.

• Describe the evidence-based design principle for each layout.
• Describe the impact on the stakeholder’s experience with each placement (e.g., patients, medical staff, hospital staff, family, and visitors).
• Cite at least 1 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references to support each evidence-based design principle.

Cite at least 4 peer-reviewed, scholarly, or similar references to support your assignment.

Part 1:

Imagine that you were tasked to build or redesign a health care facility in your local community.

Research health care facilities in your area that may need renovation, or to find out what type of facility may be missing. Your research will help you select your project focus.

• Clinic
• Doctor’s Office
• Hematology Lab
• Hospital Security Layout
• Outpatient Clinic
• Custom Facility Plan

*Note: If a Custom Facility Plan is selected, students are responsible for emailing the faculty member for approval for selected facility prior to submitting the assignment.

Access SmartDraw® and select facility template. This will be used in the Week 4 facility planning assignment.

Save your design after you have selected the facility.

Part 2:

Write a 750- to 1,050-word paper in which you describe your selected facility. Include the following elements in your paper:

HCS 529 WEEK 6 Incorporating Feedback for Final Presentation and Design

During this week, you will review and possibly incorporate the feedback from the team member who reviewed your final project. You will use your team member’s feedback as well as your faculty’s feedback from Week Four to make corrections or adjustments to your final project. This week you will complete a feedback and summary form that will detail any corrections or adjustments you made based on the feedback from your faculty and team member.  You will also turn in your final presentation and design again to be reviewed with your feedback and summary form. Remember that it is ultimately your decision to incorporate feedback from your learning team member and your faculty; however, if you decide not to incorporate feedback, you need to explain why you did not.

Incorporate the necessary changes recommended by your learning team member and your faculty into your presentation and SmartDraw® Design.

Complete the Feedback and Summary Form.

Click the Assignment Files tab to submit your Feedback and Summary Form, final Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation, and final SmartDraw® Design.
