This project involves the detailed design and prototyping of elements on the headwall and footwall to beemployed in either acute care patient rooms or acuity adaptable/universal patient room designs. It representsa new cycle of an iterative design-fabrication-research process involving a collaborative team of healthcarearchitects, industrial designers, an interior designer, students, healthcare equipment companies and theirpersonnel, healthcare providers, along with periodic consultants and experts in several other disciplines. Itinvolved professionals in each primary discipline working as and with faculty and students at two Universitiesin two Countries and served as both a design research and teaching/learning experience. This submission buildson a series of earlier design concepts, prototypes, testing and evaluation cycles including formal researchstudies involving simulation and informal observational and feedback from clinicians on elements employedin an actual healthcare facility. Four separate cycles of research/design/fabrication/evaluation culminating inprototypes built in 2003, 2006, 2007 and 2009 led to the results of the prototype design features included inthis 2012 submission.The underlying charges of the proposal have not changed dramatically over each iteration, but have beenreframed as the healthcare context has changed and new information was learned in each cycle of research,design, fabrication, evaluation and redesign. The underlying premise is to optimize health, comfort and controlfor patients, staff and families by: Providing a setting that is safe, therapeutic, green and sustainableProviding a setting that supports positive patient/family/staff centered experiencesEnabling efficient and effective clinical care and health outcomesProviding an adaptable setting that accommodates changing needs over timeThe proposed headwall and footwall elements were each envisioned as a plug and play kit of parts that couldbe adapted or interchanged over the life of the room, or used in various ways over the life of a patient stay.The intent was to design features that would allow adaptation and design variation for both function andappearance in each application initially and over time.A COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN PROJECTCLEMSON UNIVERSITY CARLETON UNIVERSITYINTRODUCTIONThis proposal also benefits from lessons learned from work by others at the primary submitting institution ona concept room for the year 2020, which also built on the earlier work mentioned above. However, instead ofenvisioning what might be possible in 10 or more years, this submission was charged with exploring what mightbe possible and feasible today, or tomorrow, in terms of clinical practices, regulation, affordable technologiesand market ready products in an era of increasingly constrained resources in healthcare. It looks at a two tofive year window of application. The features included in the proposal are being explored to bring to marketwith collaborating partners who are recognized leaders in the healthcare furnishings and equipment market.Patient Room Prototype v2012INTR ODUCTION

PROJECT SCOPE & PROCESS06-15The charge in this cycle was to work within the project “site” of the basic prototype room footprint developedand refined in earlier cycles and focus design revisions and refinements on two primary features of the patientroom: the headwall and footwall. Two sites were envisioned. One was the refined 2007 prototype as built in asimulation lab on a healthcare campus and the second is a mock-up within a “black-box” room last refined in2009 in a clinical simulation training facility in a school of nursing. The actual fabrication was to be built in the“black box” room on campus. The team had to design elements that would fit within both prototype room sites.All elements of both versions of the patient room were to remain except the headwall and footwall elements.The fabrication in the black box room in the Clinical Simulation Training Lab(CLRC) in the School of Nursingprovides access to nursing faculty, students and a full compliment of inpatient care clinical equipment. Theblack box room is a space that can be demolished and rebuilt to the building structure. The overall lab is usedsimulation training for nursing students and the prototype room is used for teaching when not undergoingredesign, fabrication and research studies.INTERSTITIALZONESAVAILABLEFOR REDESIGNAS NEEDEDClinical Simulation Training LabClinical Simulation Training LabA COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN PROJECTCLEMSON UNIVERSITY CARLETON UNIVERSITY1.0 Project Scope and BackgroundDEMOPatient Room Prototype v20121.0
