Image by Sara Kennedy By: Brooke A. Karlsen, MSN, BSN, RN, NEA-BC Maternal care was an early clinical interest for me and this interest inspired me to pursue nursing so many years ago. As a student in the certificate program in Leadership and Innovation in Health + Design at Clemson University, I am enjoying studying […]
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.
Image by Faequa Uniza Rahman By Anjali Joseph The Environmental Design Research Association came into being in the 1960s, led by a group of forward-thinking activists and environmental design researchers who believed that architects and designers held a social responsibility to create environments that supported human behavior and intentions, well-being and performance for everyone. This […]
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 […]
Image by Swati Goel By Swati Goel Approximately 187,000 students enroll in a Ph.D. program each year in the United States. My journey is specific to Clemson University’s Planning Design and Built Environment cohort of 2023, with a concentration in Architecture + health during COVID-19 times. I would say that makes it quite unique. I […]
Image by Sara Kennedy by Anjali Joseph I started my work in healthcare design research more than 16 years ago as a doctoral student at Georgia Tech working with Dr. Craig Zimring on synthesizing the literature on evidence-based healthcare design. This literature review and its follow up study published in 2008 clearly showed that the […]
