Dr. Anjali Joseph Discusses Healthcare Design in Inc. Magazine.
In the typical medical practice, smart design is rarely implemented. Research can help us implement smart designs that improve patient health. The pandemic has resulted in a closer look at patient-centric design.
Researchers with the Center for Health Facilities Design and Testing Develop and Implement New OR Design
Elements of a new operating room design, developed by Anjali Joseph, David Allison, Dr. Scott Reeves, and other researchers with the Center for Health Facilities Design and Testing at Clemson University, have been incorporated into the R. Keith Summey Medical Pavilion at the Medical University of South Carolina. The New York Times recently covered the implementation of the new design developed by this multidisciplinary team.
