Discussion Post: 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. On the worksheet, you should:
1. Describe the evidence-based design principle for each layout.
2. Describe the impact on the stakeholder's experience with each placement (e.g. , patients, medical staff, hospital staff, family, and visitors).
The response should include a reference list. One-inch margins, Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space and APA style of writing and citations.
