Two to five percent of all patients who undergo an operation will develop a surgical site infection leading to significant mortality and morbidity. The incidence of adverse events such as surgical site infections and surgical errors are an immense problem in the OR due to the highly vulnerable state of the patient and the complex interactions required between providers of different disciplines. Distractions and interruptions are major causes of medical errors during surgery and often lead to serious harm for patients. Additionally, the wide range of equipment used to perform procedures, rapidly changing technology and the physical space where care is provided pose challenges to providing high quality care. Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) were awarded a 4-year grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to develop a safer and ergonomically sound operating room. The Realizing Improved Patient Care through Human Centered Design in the OR (RIPCHD.OR) learning lab proposes a comprehensive approach to contemporary OR suite design. A multidisciplinary team comprising of architects, human factors, operations researchers, simulation experts, anesthesiologists, nurses and patient safety experts are working collaboratively on RIPCHD.OR projects. This project integrates research, studio teaching and practice components through the course of the project with the goal of developing design ideas that can be implemented and evaluated in operating rooms at MUSC.

Literature & Review

Data Collection

Coding & Data Analysis

IRB Approval: - IRB approval was obtained in December 2015 through MUSC’s IRB for year 1 activities that involved human subjects, including video recordings of surgeries as well as focus groups.

Bacterial Load Sampling: - Sampling was conducted during 16 of the recorded surgeries, which are being analyzed separately from the rest of the recorded videos due to possibe variations in behavior prompted by the loud noise of the air sampling equipment.

Advisory Committee: - The technical advisory committee has been formally established. - Met with the RIPCHD.OR project team in person at Clemson University to share their progress to date and obtained feedback on project direction and focus

Discrete Event Simulation Model: - The team is developing a prototype discrete-event simulation model that will enable the team to analyze the PEMSI flows that occurred in the videotaped surgeries. - A key outcome will be to identify the density of occupancy within each region or zone within the OR and the frequency of common paths used within the OR.

AUG ‘16

Case Studies: - The team has conducted case studies at two surgery centers in addition to MUSC to get a broader perspective about OR suite design, including possible alternative and best practice layouts, flows and designs. -The two facilities that were visited included Bellevue Surgery Center in Seattle, WA and the Surgical Services at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center in Spartanburg, SC. -Case study methods included interviews with staff, observations and in-depth assessment of OR and surgical suite areas to map flows and OR design features.

Operating Room Mock-Up: -The team identified and obtained high quality mock-up space that meets project specifications. - In addition, a strong baseline of information has been developed to support a mock-up design and development, including obtaining an extensive equipment list that will inform the acquisition of needed equipment. - The team is also working to determine design and equipment needs to construct an OR mock-up.

This has been an incredible first year for the RIPCHD.OR learning lab. Our accomplishments range from coming together as a coherent and functional team to building a strong knowledge base and shared understanding about the operating room environment. While we focus here on the specific research tasks that were accomplished as part of this project, the importance of developing this team structure cannot be emphasized enough, especially given the diversity of team member locations as well as diversity of disciplines represented. One of the key goals for this year was to build a study framework and systems view of the people, processes, tools and technology, as well as the built environment in the OR, ultimately looking at potential impacts on safety. This study framework would also serve as the foundation for future design, development and iterative testing phases. The key activities accomplished this past year included:

JULY ‘16

PROJECT ACCOMPLISHMENTS | YEAR 1

Focus Groups: - Two sets of focus groups were conducted with surgical team members at MUSC to obtain user input regarding barriers and facilitators to shed light on the observed behaviors as well as to highlight any key areas for future study and development.

RESEARCH CONTEXT The RIPCHD.OR learning lab conducted an in-depth examination of existing operating rooms at the Medical Univsersity of South Carolina‘s campus in Charleston, South Carolina. The research teams observed procedures in operating rooms in two buildings on the MUSC campus to understand current surgical processes, technology and physical environmental conditions. This will help inform the development of future phases of RIPCHD.OR as well as support the design decisions for two future ambulatory surgical centers – one pediatric and the other orthopedic – being planned at MUSC.

PROJECT 1 | UNMASKING OF ANESTHESIA-RELATED ALARMS & COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH QUESTIONS

TEAM 1 is working to extend what is known about alarms, interruptions and distractions for anesthesiologists

in the operating room from a systems perspective. The three aims of this project have the goal of developing and evaluating systems design methods that account for masking and exploring interface design as a means to mitigate the effects of masking.

SPECIFIC AIMS AIM 1

Identify displays and alarms that can be presented in different sensory channels and the potential patient safety consequences associated with specific alarms by conducting observations in the OR and conducting focus groups with clinicians.

AIM 2

Evaluate alternative display designs for information and alarms in Aim 1 by designing and experimentally testing the perceptual aspects of displays that incorporate alternative information presentations (e.g., heads-up displays, tactile displays and gestural displays).

AIM 3

Evaluate how these display strategies would integrate into the new OR suite mockup for anesthesiologists and other OR personal by conducting focus groups and anesthesiologist user evaluations.

A “surgical suite� is a functional procedural service area where surgical services are provided and usually includes an amalgamation of rooms within it, including procedure rooms, clinical support spaces, patient support spaces, and administrative support spaces (Rostenberg & Barach, 2012). The design of the surgical suite has great potential to improve the quality of patient care, patient safety, and overall efficiency. One of the key goals of the surgical suite design is to achieve efficient and safe maneuvering and flow for patients and staff as well as instruments, materials and equipment, and supplies (clean and dirty). Maintaining a clean environment in the OR to reduce risk of infections is also a key design driver that impacts surgical suite design. Different assumptions around separation of clean and dirty flows (e.g., physically separat and shared) have resulted in different types of surgical layouts. However, no studies were found that evaluated the relative benefits of different types of layouts from an efficiency or infection control standpoint. A few studies have explored the potential benefits of parallel processing (performing surgery related tasks such as instrument set up or induction in a different space at the same time the surgery is being conducted in the OR/procedure room) on efficiency outcomes such as turnover times and OR utilization.

Parallel processing: • Induction rooms outside the OR can reduce non-operative time and increase OR utilization by almost 9%. [1] • Individual induction rooms work best for short procedures, while centralized induction rooms support longer procedures more cost-efficiently. [2] • Two induction rooms per surgical suite can maximize operational efficiency, decreases space and equipment requirements and increases flow. [3] • Parallel induction flow can increase patient throughput by decreasing non-operative time from 67 to 38min., which is almost a 5% reduction in operating time. [4]

The operating room is a very high-risk, problem-prone patient care environment. The dynamic medical technology and clinical practice in the operating room has been changing rapidly. Increasingly, diagnostic and imaging capabilities are being incorporated in the surgical domain, and procedures and surgical practices are transitioning from mostly open procedures to techniques that are less invasive and more equipment intensive. There are many new players and sub-specialties involved in providing care in the operating room. The use of a range of equipment and technology places varying demands on building systems and space requirements. Patients are highly vulnerable in this setting. A few studies exist looking at specific aspects of the operating room design such as airflow and acoustics, and its relationship to safety outcomes such as surgical site infection and surgical errors. Other aspects of the operating room physical environment such as clutter from cables and tubes, intra-room zoning, location of storage, sightlines and OR lighting also potentially impact patient and staff injuries in the OR though the impacts of these design features have been less researched.

LITERATURE STAFF PERFORMANCE

EQUIPMENT & INSTRUMENTS SIGNIFICANCE

Staff Safety

Operating rooms are equipment intensive environments where a range of different equipment (e.g. ceiling mounted booms, monitors, computers, C-arms) and instruments are required to perform surgery. Some equipment is fixed and stays in the OR, while other equipment is moveable and is brought into the OR for specific procedures. The location and accessibility of both fixed and moveable equipment is a critical design consideration that impacts efficiency. For example, equipment in the OR may block a staff member’s path to their destination and require them to detour. Instruments may be disposable or reusable, and are usually brought into the OR prior to the surgery. The sterility of the instruments used during the procedures is critical and damaged or improperly cleaned instruments can pose a serious disruption to the surgery. The location of central sterile department in relation to the surgical suite and location of sub-sterile rooms in the surgical suite to allow emergency sterilization are critical design considerations that impact surgical flow and patient safety.

Material selection is critical in the OR, as it impacts cleanability and potentially healthcare-acquired infection as well as the acoustical qualities of the room. Choice of material and location of the material in the room helps in reducing contamination through surface transmission. Some material has anti-bacterial properties and others are easier to clean. The types of non-porous materials that are easier to clean and typically used in the OR are usually hard sound reflecting surfaces and may contribute to reverberation and noise in the OR.

Effectiveness of airflow in the OR is impacted by: ventilation, temperature difference, moving bodies, and surgical equipment positioning. The most common ventilation systems are turbulent, displacement, and laminar airflow (LAF). Turbulent and displacement ventilation systems are sensitive to movements (such as movement of people) that impact the creation of airborne contaminants. Laminar airflows can be vertical or horizontal. Vertical LAF is more effective in the operating room as it produces clear air directly over the operating table. However, there is no adequate empirical knowledge linking LAF to lower SSI.

High noise levels in operating rooms result in the need for louder alarms and voices for communication. Further, high decibel levels in ORs impede verbal communications that may result in errors and potential injury to the patient (Rostenberg & Barach, 2012). Increased noise levels are associated with short-term memory loss, damage auditory detection, and distraction during surgery (Patkin, 2003; Weinger & Englund, 1990). In addition, loud noises contribute to fatigue stress, higher blood pressure, and reduce task functioning for surgical staff, which may impact decision making during surgery .

Both general ambient lighting and focused surgical lights are required to not only deliver surgical care but also to minimize medical errors. In the operating room, proper lighting type and illumination quality is correlated with staff satisfaction and can impact patient safety outcomes. Illumination quality and the ergonomics of surgical lights can impact the surgeon’s performance. For example, from an ergonomic standpoint, older surgeons may need extra illuminance levels to reduce adverse events. As different surgeries require a different amount and quality of lighting, it is critical to provide flexible and easy-to-use lighting equipment for a variety of surgeries.

03 FLOWS DEFINITION

Surgical flow, which includes the sequence and dynamic directions of activities of people and objects, is critical from the perspective of managing costs, efficiency, as well as quality of care in the surgical process. Understanding these flows is critical while designing surgical facilities. There are a range of essential and potential activities needed for successfully performing surgical procedures and providing patient care in a surgical services department. This section will focus on outlining these activities as key steps inherent to a set of surgical flow types. These activities could potentially take place in different types of spaces depending on the service model. However, the diagrams presented in this section do not imply specific types of spaces or represent physical distances between spaces. These aspects will be explored in a further section focused on case studies, where the key steps outlined in this section are shown on the plan of the surgical services department to highlight how different facilities have addressed these flows.

g n ti s Te

The sequences of steps for the different flows that are part of the surgical process were abstracted from empirical studies* and from the surgery observations conducted by the RIPCHD.OR research team. Surgical flows were then differentiated as patient flow, family flow, staff flow, instruments/materials/supplies flow, and equipment flow. Their graphic representations are displayed in the following pages, in the form of flo diagrams, where circles represent steps (not spaces), and arrows represent the direction of the flow. * Smith et al, 2008; Fredendall et al, 2009; Schwarz et al, 2010; and Brown et al, 2014.

GOAL & PURPOSE

Understanding and clearly defining the different process flows is an integral part of the RIPCHD.OR learning lab. The purpose of this exercise was to understand the basic flows for different people and objects so that the potential variations to these basic flows brought about as a result of physical design, technology or process interventions can be understood. While the activities represented in each step can be performed together or separately, in one or multiple spaces, design choices impact both ‘where’ activities are performed and ‘how’ they are performed. For example, the transportation of patients and items supporting surgeries (i.e. sterile instruments), may take place differently depending on how steps are spatially organized, ultimately shaping the efficiency the process.

51


PATIENT & FAMILY FLOW PATIENT The ambulatory surgery process for the patient typically involves key activities performed preoperatively to get ready for surgery, the surgery itself followed by recovery from anesthesia and discharge. Steps such as waiting, may or may not happen depending on how spaces are organized and on patient scheduling and coordination at the facility. Thus, these steps are considered as optional (potential steps) in the flow.

INSTRUMENTS & MATERIALS FLOW STERILE INSTRUMENTS & MATERIALS The flow of sterile instruments and materials is influenced by the system of sterilization used: imbedded in the facility (like a Central Sterilization Processing unit) or outsourced. The latter appears in the flow diagram as a set of potential steps, like receiving and distributing items after their arrival or before their send-off. Additionally, this type of flow has to consider not only items that have to be reprocessed, but also items that become waste (i.e. disposable packages) and are directed to a waste management process.

Supplies include anesthesia medication and disposable items, which are respectively consumed by the patient during surgery or discarded as waste. These items may be stored different (facility storage and OR storage), and have different flow directions after surgery. They are either being consumed by the patient, returning to storage if not used or being directed to waste management (i.e. disposable packages).

The flow of equipment in surgical facilities is influenced by where equipment is stored, cleaned and prepared for surgical procedures. Storage steps depend on facility policy regarding storage of different types of equipment and may result in equipment being stored at the facility level storage or surgical procedure level storage (OR storage). Transportation then depends on the decisions made the location of storage , always depicted as a potential step in the flow stream.

NOTE For the staff flow, surgeons and anesthesiologists were identified as the most representative groups of professionals, since they are active participants across the surgical process (before, during and after surgeries). Other staff members like scrub and circulating nurses, although considered in the larger scheme of this research, and extremely important in the surgical process, were not included in this book due to their primary focus on activities usually being limited to the operation room (during surgery). There was also a simplification in the number of categories used to depict the flow of items supporting the surgical process. Although there are many other types of items being considered in the scope of this research (i.e. fluids, linen, surgical drapes), only two groups of items (sterile instruments/materials and supplies) were sufficiently expressive and consistent across the process to be translated into flow streams, also having a bigger impact in the physical configuration of surgical facilities. The criteria to differentiate between these two flows was whether or not they were reprocessed (instruments and materials) or consumed by the patient during surgery (supplies), which is usually in the form of anesthesia medication.

As outlined in the AHRQ grant, video footage was taken of actual outpatient surgeries at the Medical University of South Carolina hospital system. From this footage a cross-section of surgeries were observed in the making of the following procedure maps. These maps attempt to define the realities of the different phases during various operations. The phases include patient preparation, intraoperative and postoperative. Patient preparation begins once a patient has entered the threshold of the operating room. The intraoperative phase begins once a patient has been anesthetized. Finally, the postoperative phase begins when the anesthesiologists conclude the induction. Postoperation concludes once the patient has left the operating room. The following procedure maps do not include the turn-around activity required at the start and conclusion of each surgery. During turn-around the room is sanitized and straightened by environmental services staff members. Within the three phases the surgical team, patient, movable furniture and required equipment are diagrammed relative to the surgical table. The following sequence of diagrams includes: similarities across the procedure maps, individual diagrams of the surgeries, and differences across the procedure maps.

GOAL & PURPOSE The primary goal of these procedure maps is to document the nature and configuration of events and activities. Through this documentation tool of diagrams the reader should be able to further understand and learn the various actions occurring in the operating room. Ultimately these diagrams can be used to inform and visually test various design configurations.

LESSONS LEARNED

Modularity increases flexibility

Recessed storage maximizes valuable floor space

Greater area in the OR increases flexibility

Walls covered with modular panels facilitate ease of maintenance and increase flexibility for future reconfiguration of ORs, as the individual panels can be temporarily removed for maintenance or easily replaced. In addition to reducing maintenance time and costs, this system provides stainless steel panels to protect walls from potential bumping of movable equipment and furniture in high traffic areas. In the OR and other sterile areas the stainless steel is coated with color, while the dirty areas are lined with stainless steel to assist wayfinding within the OR suite.

Storage cabinets that are recessed into the wall of the OR provide ample storage for surgical supplies, while reducing clutter around the perimeter of the room.

Larger sized ORs afford the inclusion of moveable diagnostic and robotic equipment within the operating theatre without impeding flow outside the sterile zone. The increase in area also supports greater flexibility for the varying positions of bed and equipment for multiple procedures.

g n ti s Te

Strategic integration of technology increases efficiency

Connectivity increases staff safety

Adjacencies are critical to flow optimization

Technology such as the Neptune, a selfcleaning blood containment machine, and a wand that detects surgical supplies that could be potentially left inside the patient increase staff and patient safety by reducing exposure to infectious material and potential surgical site infections, while also providing efficiency with waste removal and surgical closing. Inside the operating room, lack of direct visibility from the circulating nurse’s workstation to procedure area is compensated by a video of the procedure displayed on the nurse’s monitor.

Layering electrical outlets at varying heights through the use of surgical booms and multiple locations throughout the OR reduces the amount of electrical wires on the floor, decreasing tripping hazards for staff.

The patient/family waiting room and sterile processing area are located on different floors than the OR, requiring longer travel distances and extended travel time due to the use of elevators to move patients, staff and supplies through the system. Close proximity between the preoperative and postoperative areas affords flexibility in staffing and accommodates flexing between the two areas during peak volumes throughout the day.

Bellevue, Washington

The architect focused on the use of Continuous Performance Improvement (CPI) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) to increase the efficiency of building the spaces. The focus on these processes allowed the architects to decrease building time, square footage and project cost to meet their goal of high quality care as cost effective care. The architects also spent a good deal of time studying the experience of bringing a child in for surgery. The design and layout of spaces is meant to allow parents to remain with their children for as long as possible and use daylight and calming views to dampen as much of the stress of the experience as possible.

LESSONS LEARNED

Single direction flow reduces travel distance

Standardization removes waste

Significant efficiency can be gained by leveraging parallel processing through the use of dual induction rooms. By utilizing the induction room to perform all preoperative assessment and induction, one patient can be prepared for surgery concurrently while the prior surgery is closing and room turnaround is occurring. In this model, preoperative waiting for patients and their families is reduced to less than 3 minutes following check in.

Moving patients and staff through the system in one direction reduces travel distances for staff and provides increased efficiency due to reduced bed turns while transporting patients across the perioperative process.

Standardization of equipment and supplies in induction rooms, ORs and postoperative rooms reduces turnover time and allows staff to work across surgical phases, providing continuity of care while reducing the number of handoffs throughout the perioperative process.

Privacy enhances the patient experience

Personalization supports family participation

Patients and their parents are afforded privacy throughout the perioperative process, as all exchanges of information are conducted in private spaces such as the induction room, consultation room or the postoperative room, providing a calm atmosphere that facilitates communication between providers and families.

A playroom dedicated to siblings of patients that is staffed full time by a child life specialist encourages both parents to participate in the surgical process up through induction and immediately following the surgical procedure in the PACU. In addition, parents are escorted through the perioperative process by a volunteer, reducing parent anxiety through increased access to information.

g n i t s 05 PROCEDURE MAPS e T & n DEFINITION g i s e D ies

As outlined in the AHRQ grant, a sampling of outpatient surgical procedures were videotaped and observed at the Main Hospital and Ashley River Tower facilities of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Health. This information was analyzed and coded to produce the following procedure maps which define the activities and location of the surgical team throughout all phases of intraoperative care. These include patient preparation, intra-operative, and post-operative. For the purpose of this study, patient preparation or pre-procedural care begins when the patient is received into the operating room. The intra-operative or intra-procedural phase begins at the time of induction. The post-operative or post-procedural phase begins at the point of emergence from anesthesia. Post-operative care concludes when the patient is transferred out of the operating room. The following procedure maps do not include turnover activities of setting up or breaking down each case. During turnover the floors, equipment, furniture and high touch areas are cleaned and disinfected by environmental services staff. Within the three phases care the surgical team, patient, furniture, and equipment are diagrammed relative to the location of the operating room table. The following sequence of diagrams includes: similarities across the procedure maps, individual diagrams of the surgeries, and differences across the procedure maps.

GOAL & PURPOSE The primary goal of these procedure maps is to document the nature and configuration of events and activities. Through this visualization the reader can follow the progression of the procedure and movements of the surgical team. Ultimately, these diagrams can be used to inform and visually assess various layout and design configurations.

PROCEDURE MAPS MATRIX OF DIAGRAMS | PEDIATRIC The surgeries previously diagrammed in this section document various pediatric, orthopedic, and bariatric surgeries. Diagrams on these two pages compare pediatric, orthopedic, and bariatric surgeries. The items highlighted in red are the differences across the four surgeries. The esophageal dilation required a laproscopic tower in conjunction with a flat-screen monitor and the anesthesia zone accommodated an unusual amount of people. A monitor was also used in the gastrocutaneous fistula closure in conjunction with a scope. During the oto myringotonomy with tube placement surgery a video tower was used in conjunction with a scope while both surgeons sat upon stools. The oto bronchoscopy surgery required a video monitor in conjunction with a scope as well as rotating the entire surgical table to accommodate the sitting surgeon. A hospital crib was not required unlike the previous pedatric surgeries due to the age of the patient.

During the total hip anthroplasty (THA) the only notable difference in comparison to the other diagrammed surgeries was a small table was brought over the surgical table in order to complete the postoperative phase. The total knee anthroplasty (TKA) involved positioning the surgical table in a more central location relative to the surgical lights. Finally, the laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery involved arm and foot rests, an electric rotating table, as well as an overlay of a small table to perform the operation. Overall, there were very few differences in the surgeries.

John Schaefer, MD is an international expert in healthcare simulation who is transforming the way healthcare clinicians are taught, and in the process, helping to reduce patient injury and improve medical outcomes. Dr. Schaefer came to South Carolina from the University of Pittsburgh where he helped establish the WISER Institute. He served as director of the center from 1997 to 2006 and directed the multi-partnered expansion of the center. In South Carolina as a SmartState Endowed Chair, he has led the effort to establish a statewide network of 14 simulation programs including universities, technical colleges and health systems that now perform over 80,000 patient simulations annually. This network of collaborative simulation centers now provide training for medical, nursing and allied health students, as well as advanced continuing education to hospital employees and physicians in South Carolina, North Carolina and Alabama. They allow healthcare providers to practice their skills in a controlled, risk-free environment, rather than in an actual patient setting. This innovative training method results in better healthcare outcomes and increased patient safety. Additionally, Dr. Schaefer has established a number of industry relationships resulting in new innovations in simulation that are making South Carolina a leader in the medical simulation field. He co-founded a start-up company called SimTunes in 2008 to create and commercialize simulation educational technology and in 2015 was awarded a presidential citation from the international Society for Simulation in Healthcare for his contributions to the field of simulation globally.

The intent of the learning lab was to collect a body of information that would help identify gaps in knowledge around OR systems design as well as opportunities for improvement in the OR. The work conducted this year provides an excellent foundation for the future phases of the RIPCHD.OR learning lab. During the upcoming year, the learning lab will focus on designing and developing key concepts to address opportunities around creating a safer OR. A range of different design and process interventions will be developed and tested through physical and virtual simulation. Part of the next phase of the project is to focus on the design and development of a physical operating room mock-up. This mock-up is being investigated by eight Masters of Architecture + Health (M.Arch+Health) students who are currently in their final year of study. In order to build the mockup several smaller scale models will be constructed. These smaller models will aid in testing different equipment configurations and locations of items including patient entrance, staff entrance, booms, movable furniture, electrical outlets, various team members’ workstations, storage equipment and etc. Meanwhile, another group of nine students in the M.Arch + Health program are focusing on designing an entire orthopedic ambulatory surgery center. This effort is based on a current project underway with the Medical University of South Carolina in West Ashley. Understanding the process of moving a patient through the surgery center as well as the role a healthcare entity plays in a community is key in designing the facility.

BRAINSTORMING WORKSHOP A brainstorming workshop will be conducted on September 19-21 at the Clemson Architecture Center at Charleston (CACC). Participants will include the RIPCHD.OR learning lab team, technical advisory committee members and industry experts. The key focus of this workshop is to: • Present study findings and learn from experts about trends in surgery that will impact the learning lab • Identify high priority areas for design improvements that may impact patient and staff safety in the OR • Prioritize a small set of projects for the learning lab to undertake in year 2 • Conduct a design workshop with research team, industry experts, advisory committee and graduate students from Clemson’s Architecture + Health program ARCHITECTURE + HEALTH DESIGN STUDIO FOCUSING ON SURGICAL SUITE DESIGN: The second year graduate students led by Prof. David Allison in the A+H program in Architecture at Clemson will undertake a deep-dive design project focusing on the OR. The design concepts developed through this effort will be used to develop the OR prototype. Prof. Byron Edwards will be leading a group of first year graduate students in the A+H program through a design project focused on the new Orthopedic Ambulatory Surgery center at MUSC. David Allison and Anjali Joseph along with Prof. Byron Edwards are also teaching a seminar course on Operating Room Design and Operations to allow students to obtain a deep understanding of the OR from a systems perspective.

DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF SIMULATIONS AND PROTOTYPES OF VARYING LEVELS OF FIDELTIY: The three project teams will all develop different prototypes based on their project foci to test early design concepts. The prototypes will be evaluated using table-top simulations or in the physical mock-up that will be built at the CACC. The simulation center at MUSC will be used to develop and test key scenarios of use for the OR mock-ups that are developed. The team will also work on developing detailed protocols (OR use scenarios and scripts) that will be used to test the performance of different iterations of the products (e.g. anesthesia work station, OR layout) that are mocked up.

DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF ANESTHESIOLOGY WORKSTATION In year 2, project team 1 will complete the construction of the prototype anesthesiology task workstation that will simulate the tasks, sounds and environment within which the anesthesiologist works. This will include a workstation, displays and speakers that play the noises that occur in the OR, and will allow the integration of advanced display technology. The team will continue to evaluate different display means, i.e. sensory modality or heads up display corresponding to varying levels of task complexity, and dynamic environmental characteristics for the anesthesiologist. This phase will also involve creating a simulated operating room scenario and varying factors such as mental workload and presentation modality (visual, auditory, and tactile).

DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF PHYSICAL MOCK-UPS AND OR SCENARIOS In collaboration with the MUSC ASC team, the most promising concepts will be developed in detail by the research team. An initial low fidelity mock-up will be constructed at full scale at the Clemson Architecture Center at Charleston, and movable equipment and supplies will be brought into this space. In parallel, several OR surgery scenarios will be developed to illustrate process disruptions and conflicts that were observed during problem analysis. The scenarios will then be used to test the efficacy of proposed design solutions.

DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF DESIGN FLOWS THROUGH VIRTUAL SIMULATIONS Using the prototype simulation from Year 1, enhancements to the decision-making capability in the model will be added to allow each person in the OR to react to changes in his/her surroundings. In other words, we can test new design layouts and flow suggestions without having to recommend changes to the actual system.

COORDINATION WITH MUSC ASC PROJECT DESIGN TEAMS We will set up a process of regular information sharing and coordination between RIPCHD.OR and the architecture firm working on the new ambulatory surgery center that is being planned in North Charleston.

9

DATA ANALYSIS AND DISSEMINATION The teams will complete the coding of videos and continue to analyze the data collected during the problem analysis phase. This information will be disseminated through journal publications and conference presentations. Additionally, the team will share project findings with surgical leaders in the SC Surgical Quality Collaborative. The intent will be to obtain feedback on the broader relevance of our findings and also to disseminate study findings widely in SC and nationally.

ITERATIVE TESTING AND DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS These simulations will be video-recorded and analyzed by team members to identify areas of conflicts. An on-site evaluation tool (a precursor to the OR safety risk assessment tool) will be developed at this stage and used by study participants to objectively evaluate and rate different aspects of the physical mock-up from the perspective of patient safety and efficiency. This process will yield quick feedback on changes that need to be made to the designs. Modifications will be made to the designs and parallel changes made to increasingly higher fidelity physical mock-ups as the schedule and budget allows (for example, by changing room boundaries or shape, location of doors, fixed and movable equipment positioning, medical gas/electrical/communication interfaces, location of storage etc). Two to three rounds of testing and design modifications are anticipated over the course of year 2 and year 3 of the learning lab. At each stage, the designs will be refined and more detail added to the OR room mock-up.

BYRON EDWARDS, AIA, ACHA, EDAC, LEED AP PROFESSOR OF PRACTICE IN ARCHITECTURE + HEALTH This semester long project is for a 100,000 + sf Ambulatory Services Campus Masterplan on MUSC’s new Ambulatory Campus in West Ashley area of Charleston, SC. The first Phase Design Project is a 40,000 square foot Orthopedic Ambulatory Surgery Center for the Medical University of South Carolina’s (MUSC’s) Musculoskeletal Institute. The Ambulatory Surgery Center will include the following departments; Surgery, Imaging and future Clinic. The Surgery is planned for 2 ORs and 3 Procedure Rooms with ability to expand in the future. At a minimum, this Project should address MUSC space program needs, but it should also address a holistic approach to healing and address the innovative integrative and alternative medical and non-medical healing concepts of the mind, body and spirit in terms of dealing with the internal and external influences of a truly healing environment. The project should also address the Health of the Community at large in its environmental and contextual responses. The design should address the specific environmental issues of the site including topographic, vegetation, soils, site access, and utilities, but it should also consider and address the specific health, cultural, racial, socio-economical, and political issues within the Community and pay homage to the importance of this specific site and its contextual significance in that Community.

DAVID ALLISON, FAIA, FACHA DIRECTOR OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN ARCHITECTURE + HEALTH The goal of the studio this semester is to build from and contribute to an ongoing Realizing Improved Patient Care through Human-Centered Design [RICHRD.OR] AHRQ funded multi-year research effort, and design then build a full-scale operating room mock-up at the Clemson Design Center in Charleston. This mock-up and its design features are to serve as a test prototype for an optimal, adaptable and flexible ambulatory surgery OR “platform” or “chassis.” It will be executed as part of an interdisciplinary research-design-researchredesign project involving architecture and health students and faculty in collaboration and consultation with researchers, clinicians, consultants, practicing architects and industry collaborators. The project to be designed this semester is intended to build upon prior research knowledge and best practices to address and advance current design thinking and solutions employed in health care architecture and equipment design in the Operating Room. We hope to reflect and support both the art and science of healthcare, and demonstrate that interdisciplinary design built upon a rigorous and systematic study of issues, problems, opportunities and constraints can raise the quality, safety, efficiency and adaptability of design in healthcare contexts while addressing a broad range of patient, staff and family needs.

THE PHYSICAL MOCK-UP | CONSIDERATIONS CONDUCTING A SIMULATION-BASED MOCK-UP EVALUATION JONAS SHULTZ, MSc EDAC

Human Factors Specialist Health Quality Council of Alberta & Adjunct Lecturer Department of Anesthesia, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary

Patient and staff safety as well as other patient and staff outcomes are strongly linked to the built healthcare environment in critical ways. The physical space, equipment, and people within any healthcare environment have a bearing on patient care and experience. The Simulation-Based Mock-up Evaluation Framework (available from www.hqca.ca/humanfactors),1 developed by the Health Quality Council of Alberta, outlines an approach to collect and analyze data from mock-up healthcare environments. Specifically, it outlines an approach to collect and analyze data from full scale mock-ups, through the use of simulation, where individuals enact processes and procedures that will be performed in the space. A simulation-based mock-up evaluation should be thoroughly planned to maximize effectiveness. Evaluation objectives, which outline what will be tested for both design and outcomes, need to be identified. These are often determined by the design team in collaboration with the evaluator or evaluation team. Together the objectives form the intended scope of the evaluation and are critical for many subsequent steps in the evaluation process. Previously conducted simulation-based mock-up evaluations of an operating room have focused on physical space issues, equipment access, workflow inefficiencies, patient monitoring, communication issues, default room configuration prior to patient arrival, role clarity, and team performance. 2,3

objectives. The degree to which a mockup is completed (mock-up fidelity) can vary significantly. The mock-up should be built to an appropriate level of fidelity to enable testing of evaluation objectives during the appropriate design phase. Roles and responsibilities for those involved in the evaluation should be clearly defined. This includes identifying who will be responsible for evaluation design, staging the mock-up, data collection, and data analysis as well as who will participate in the scenario enactments. The simulation scenarios that are created and enacted should test the evaluation objectives. Evaluating a mock-up involves selecting frequent, urgent, and challenging tasks to create simulation scenarios that will test predetermined evaluation objectives. The scenarios are enacted by users of the space within the mock-up, which includes needed supplies and equipment (real or mock-ups). The simulations should include participation by all users of the space which may include health care workers, support staff, patients, families and representatives from key components and disciplines (e.g., infection prevention and control, health and safety).

Simulationbased mock-up evaluations were conducted during room design and commissioning. Design based recommendations, most of which were implemented, resulted in measurable improvements to quality and patient safety.

Photo (courtesy of Alberta Health Services) shows a mock-up used to evaluate the design of a C$6.6 million cardiac hybrid operating room at the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute. The room, which opened in 2014, enables cardiologists and surgeons to work together, on the same patient, in the same room, at the same time.

Recommendations should be informed by evidence-based data from scenario enactments. Evidence-based data, collected through user feedback and video analysis, is used to identify potential issues and successes with the planned design. The recommendations that are developed should address any identified issues.

(Below) In collaboration with MHED LLC and McMillian Pazdan Smith architects, plans are underway to construct the structural frame to begin the physical mock-up of the OR. Efforts with the mock-up began in May 2016 with drawing a 3D model of the existing structure in the Charleston Design Center (CDC). The use of Building Information Modeling has aided the team in visualizing what the space will look like as well as coordinate with the required building consultants in order to begin construction. (Right) BIM has also allowed the display of a variety of options. With the structural system designed and installed by MHED the team will be able to implement a variety of configurations if necessary. Before install the team anticipates testing out configurations virtually to inform the initial installation. After collaboration with a group of M.Arch+Health students a different configuration may be installed and ultimately further tested by the research team. All in all computer modeling the space has enabled the team to further understand and grasp the different elements which influence the location of items in the OR, i.e. the patient bed, doors, booms, and etc.
