Virtual Environment Team

This project aims to develop a virtual model creation process that aids in the design, build, and realization phases of hospital construction. It seeks to bridge the gap between designers and caregivers during the design phase, improve way-finding training before occupancy, and enhance patient interaction within the hospital environment. By maximizing process efficiencies and optimizing design through virtual environments, we can effectively prepare healthcare professionals and patients for navigating new facilities. This innovative approach addresses the common challenges in healthcare construction and design.

  2. Vision… • Develop a virtual model creation process to interactively aid in the design, build, and realization phase of a hospital construction process.

  3. 2 3 1 2 3 Hospital Design & Build Process • Design Phase: • Disconnect between designers and end-users (care-givers). • Build Phase: • Little to no way-finding training provided before move-in. • Lack of process planning. • Occupancy Phase: • Lack of patient interaction outside of hospital. • Little to no way-finding training provided before visit.

  4. 1 2 3 Vision throughout design & build process… Virtual Model Completion • Promote interaction between patients, nurses, etc. • Remotely educate on way-finding • Advertise. • Maximize way-finding transition. • Maximize Process Efficiencies Aid in optimizing design before it’s built. Hospital Design & Build Process Progress

  5. 1.Design Phase • Principle • To increase effectiveness with designing better workplaces by integrating verbal and behavioral feedbacks from nurses. • Evidence • 28.9% of nursing staff time was spent walking (Burgio et al. 1990) • the impact of unit layout on the amount of time spent walking (Shepley 2002; Shepley and Davies 2003; Sturdavant 1960;)

  6. 1. Design phase • Solution • Nurses are randomly assigned to different units. • They are asked to explore the unit and perform several medical tasks. • The distances and time used, and their verbal feedbacks are collected. Unit A Unit B

  7. 2. Build Phase • Principle • Maximize way-finding transition. • Improve process efficiencies and reduce errors. • Evidence People with virtual environmenttraining outperform people without training • times to perform route tasks • left-right directional judgments Hunt, M. E. (1984), Foreman, N., et al, (2005)

  8. 2. Build Phase • Solution • Nurses will be trained to perform medical tasks with the optimized routes before they move into new building. • Different nurses may have different tasks/ destinations. • A nurse in ICU will be trained to locate key locations of • Medication room • Support room • Equipments • Certain people etc.

  9. 3. Occupancy Phase • Principle • Provide transparency of the environment to patients and visitors. • Solution • Users can use the virtual environment to know how to find key locations in the hospital. Destination: ED Distance: 200 Ft Turn right now
