Evidence Based Design - Answer-The process of basing decisions about the built
environment on credible research to achieve the best outcomes possible
4 things EBD can achive - Answer-1. reduce errors
2. improve patient and staff satisfaction
3. enhance efficiency
4. support technologies in HIT and genomics
7 Key Trends and Challenges - Answer-1. Public focus on quality and patient safety
2. healthcare cost and reimbursement
3. aging population and caregiver shortages
4. health information technology
5. genomics and technology
6. disaster preparedness and ER saturation
7. environmental safety and sustainablity
8 Steps of EBD - Answer-1) Define evidence based goals & Objectives
2) Find sources for Relevant Evidence
3) critically Interpret relevant evidence
4) Create and innovate evidence based design concepts
5) Develop a hypothesis
6) Collect baseline performance measures
7) Monitor implementation of design and construction
8) Measure Post occupancy results
3 types of observation - Answer-1) "Casual" - conducted early in the phase and is
less structure, without scoring procedures, which are often present in systematic
observation
2) "Systemic" - predetermined plan, including sampling, time arrangements, and
recording instruments
3) "Participant Observation" - is a qualitative approach. Instead of being unobtrusive,
researcher actively participate in the observed activities and interact with the
participates in the study.
What are the 6 different types of research design? - Answer-1) Experiment/
Randomized controlled trial
2) Quasi-experiment
3) Before-after study
4) Prospective vs Retrospective Study
5) Correlation study
6) Survey Research
3 Different Research Methods - Answer-1) Quantitative approach
2) Qualitative approach
3) Mix Method approach
