Discussion Post: Using Evidence-Based Design Principles to Design
Imagine you are the health care administrator who 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 attached Evidence Based Design Principles document 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:
o Describe the evidence-based design principle for each layout.
o Describe the impact on the stakeholders' experience with each placement (e.g., patients, medical staff, hospital staff, family, and visitors).
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
