Two AHRQ-funded studies, based upon a series of focus group sessions with trauma team members at six U.S. hospitals, revealed that physical and technological design of trauma rooms create challenges for clinical staff that impact #PatientSafety. The studies found that clinicians may be challenged by workplace factors such as inconvenient locations of computed tomography scan equipment and excessive, uncontrolled noise and light. One study published in Facilities found that unorthodox design approaches were associated with slowing the course of care and concluded that patient safety, provider technology needs and workflow efficiency should be considered when designing trauma rooms. https://bit.ly/3VdKC6j
