g n ti s Te

The Realizing Improved Patient Care through Human Centered Design in the OR (RIPCHD.OR) patient safety learning lab (PSLL) uses a multidisciplinary human-centered approach to incorporate evidence-based design, human factors and systems engineering principles to design a safer, more ergonomic operating room (OR). A range of different core team members, advisory committee members and user groups have been actively involved throughout the project to support the goal of designing an OR that addresses patient and staff safety issues in this high risk-prone environment. Year 1 of the project focused on structuring the learning lab, formalizing the vision and goals for the project, as well as establishing infrastructure and management. An extensive literature review was followed by data collection through video observations and analysis of the data. To conclude the first year of the project and transition from problem analysis to conceptual design, a design charrette and project visioning session was held with all project team members, Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) clinicians, design professionals, advisory committee members, and Clemson Architecture + Health graduate students. The purpose of this meeting was to share first year findings, and kick off year 2 of the project. . The focus of year 2 of the learning lab was primarily on moving from problem analysis to design and development in the three interrelated integrated subprojects within the larger project. The team also worked to prioritize the design and development activities undertaken by the RIPCHD.OR learning lab in year 3.

PROJECT AIMS

g n ti s Te

While this learning lab focuses on the design of a safer OR, the goal is to create a strong multidisciplinary network of people and places that together can effectively address patient safety concerns in a range of different environments where there are key patient safety concerns. The design, process and technology solutions that emerge from the three projects involved with the learning lab will be implemented and tested in two new MUSC ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) in Charleston, SC dedicated to pediatric and orthopedic surgical procedures. The project also aims to develop a range of tools and solutions that can help healthcare design teams evaluate proposed design solutions proactively and design changes based on their potential impacts on patient safety and staff safety outcomes.

PROJECT STRUCTURE

g n ti s Te

The core research and design team includes university faculty, design researchers, healthcare architects, human factors engineers, operations management researchers, anesthesiologists, surgeons and nurses. The team also receives guidance from an advisory committee comprised of patient safety and industry experts from diverse organizations, including Greenville Health System, the Veterans Administration and Health Quality Council of Alberta. Additionally, a diverse group of stakeholders from MUSC including staff from strategic planning, perioperative services and surgery (nurses, anesthesiology personnel and surgeons from Orthopedics and Pediatrics) were engaged throughout and participated as part of a clinical advisory committee. Three distinct, yet highly interrelated and integrated patient safety focused subprojects related to key aspects of the OR suite constitute the learning lab. The coordination and collaboration between the three project teams is managed under the leadership of Dr. Anjali Joseph from Clemson University and Dr. Scott Reeves from MUSC. Each of the three project teams is led by two project leaders- a professor from one department of Clemson University’s graduate school and a member from MUSC, to ensure efforts between the two key collaborators are closely coordinated.

PROJECT 1

UNMASKING OF ANESTHESIA-RELATED ALARMS & COMMUNICATIONS

g n ti s Te

Team 1 is working from a systems perspective to extend what is known about alarms, interruptions and distractions for anesthesiologists in the operating room. This project has the goal of developing and evaluating systems design methods that account for masking and exploring interface design as a means to mitigate the effect of masking.

& n g i s

YEAR 1 FINDINGS By observing and analyzing the recorded surgery videos, we identified the tasks associated with anesthesia maintenance and developed operationalized definitions for those tasks to facilitate future analysis.

e i t i l i c a F h

Surgery video analysis emphasized the importance of accounting for provider vigilance limitations and mitigation of vigilance decrement when designing technology and its associated layout and configuration within the OR environment.

lt a e

H r o f r

Physical environment, especially the configuration of display layout in conjunction with or within the workspace, is a critical component of analyzing the problem space.

e t n e C

e D s

To identify work-practice and technology implications for the anesthesia workstation, a focus group was conducted with MUSC anesthesia providers. The focus group revealed three themes: setting and using alarms, tasks and work, and work environment.


PROJECT TEAM

YEAR 2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

1

PROJECT 2

TRAFFIC FLOW & DOOR OPENINGS IN THE OR

g n ti s Te

The objective of team 2 is to develop measures to analyze the risks to both patient and staff safety that exist within the PEMSI flows, that is, (P)atients, (E)quipment, (M)aterials, (S)taff and (I)nformation. To date, there are no clear measures of how these PEMSI workflows interact within the OR. Given this fact, it is difficult for OR designers and managers to reliably predict how changes to one part of their system (e.g. one workflow) will affect the other parts of the system. Reliable performance of surgical procedures requires all PEMSI flows to be coordinated to occur within the constraints of the OR.

YEAR 1 FINDINGS Based on the in-person observations of several ORs with different types of surgeries, several processes and flow opportunities were identified in workflow/process design, OR clutter, and bio-contamination.

e i t i l i c a F h

As part of our larger project spanning all three teams, we created a robust coding scheme to identify subject locations, PEMSI activities, and surgical flow disruptions, for each videotaped surgery.

lt a e

We are currently completing the coding of the PEMSI flows and locations for each of these surgeries (based on the recorded videos).

H r o f r

To determine if number of door openings and other PEMSIrelated flows (like number of people in the OR) have any measureable effect on the microbial load, we observed 15 surgeries for microbial load both near the doors and near the surgical field.

e t n e C

e D s

We developed a prototype discrete-event simulation model to analyze the PEMSI flows that occurred in the videotaped surgeries and to identify the density of occupancy within each region or zone and the frequency of common paths used within the OR.

& n g i s


PROJECT TEAM

YEAR 2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

2

Using the prototype simulation from Year 1, we enhanced the decision-making capability in the model 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 ideas without having to rmake changes to the actual system.

PROJECT 3

INTEGRATED OR SUITE DESIGN

g n ti s Te

This projects works towards developing a better understanding of how various aspects of the operating room built environment impact patient and staff safety outcomes. Taking into account system factors like people, equipment, tools and processes, the aim is to understand how OR design can support optimal and efficient workflows, minimize surgical flow disruptions and improve performance. The integration of research, teaching and design is exemplified by involving Clemson Architecture + Health graduate students in the development and design of the OR prototype.

& n g i s

YEAR 1 FINDINGS

The problem analysis phase of the project focused on in-depth understanding of OR environment using a range of different methods. A framework was developed to observe and code behaviors in the operating room. 12 surgeries were observed in person and 35 surgeries were video recorded and coded. The literature review identified that surgical suites and operating room configuration, equipment positioning and orientation, technology integration, material selection, ventilation and air quality in the OR, temperature, noise levels, lighting type and quality, and visibility affected staff and patient outcomes in the OR. Different types of flows (people, equipment, materials, supplies and instruments as well as information) were examined at multiple sites to understand the variations due to physical design, technology or processes. Two in-depth case studies identified the need for modularity and flexibility in the OR, strategic integration of technology, and connectivity and adjacencies as being critical to staff safety and flow optimization respectively. They also highlighted the significance of parallel processing and single direction flow to increase efficiency and reduce travel distance. Two sets of focus groups were conducted with surgical team members at MUSC to obtain input regarding barriers and facilitators to shed light on the observed behaviors and to highlight key areas for future study and development. The nature and configuration of events and activities during a surgery were documented for different types of surgeries based on video observations. The purpose of this was to compare the degree of variation between surgical setup and space use between different surgeries.

PROJECT ACCOMPLISHMENTS YEAR 1 & 2 | SEPT ’15- SEPT ‘17

g n ti s Te

A major focus of year 2 was collecting complementary data to support initial and emerging research questions, developing analysis techniques and applying findings from the first year to develop an iterative OR design prototype in three phases. Each phase was followed by the construction of a physical mock-up with increasing levels of fidelity. The evaluation results from the last mock-up informed the development of the final design concept. The prototype was also developed in virtual reality to elicit feedback from the users. Journal publications, conference presentations and poster presentations have been utilized as an outlet for disseminating project findings.

ITERATIVE DESIGN PROCESS

g n ti s Te

Iterative OR prototype design development took place throughout the second year in three phases: conceptual design, design development and design refinement. Each design phase was followed by the construction of a physical mock-up with increasing levels of fidelity. Simultaneously, a mock-up evaluation toolkit was developed to evaluate alternative design solutions in terms of their effectiveness in achieving the goals set out via the design objectives and design guidelines. . Design refinements for each phase were based on feedback from evaluations of the mock-up that were conducted with MUSC surgical teams, designers and researchers.

The data collected in year 1 provided a robust foundation for the next phase of RIPCHD.OR. A major focus during Year 2 was the application of the first-year findings to develop concepts for creating a safer OR. Several different designs and process interventions were developed into an OR prototype that was systematically evaluated. With the research studies developed in year 1 as the basis, each of the teams worked on sub-projects individually or as a collaboration between the teams.

2017 Graduate students in the second year of the Architecture + Health master’s program were assigned to develop an OR prototype as part of a semester long studio design project. The design team continually utilized the research done previously by the RIPCHD.OR research team, while also seeking case studies, potential products, systems and materials that could be used in the operating room setting as well as items and technologies already being used in the OR. The design challenge for the students was to think and create beyond the conventional ways in which healthcare settings are typically conceived and built. Students were charged to think about room configurations, materials, systems, details, and construction methods, or how to use conventional elements in unconventional and innovative ways. In the end the goal was to optimize usability, comfort and control for the surgical team as well as the patient.

Patient data is not integrated and displayed to caregivers in a timely fashion and turnover time between cases is lengthy. Technologies designed to impact procedural medicine are often introduced in isolation, usually failing to improve efficiency and safety, or reduce costs. Accurate data capture and analysis, multidisciplinary teamwork and thoughtful integration of technology are the building blocks in this environment that optimize patient safety, overall comfort, staff satisfaction and financial efficiency.

Storage in the operating room is vast and far between yet there seems to be plenty of storage at the same time. The lack of designed storage methods and furniture seems to be the huge issue in most operating rooms. Many health systems utilize the Pyxis system of storage which intends to enforce supply management within the system. Items being stored include surgical supplies i.e., gloves, sutures, gauze, sterile items, etc. The storage should be easily visible, organized and able to be restocked easily. Storage systems employed should consider flexibility, modularity, future growth, cleanability, durability and materiality.

Development of OR prototype, simulation & mock-up

e t n e C

H r o f r

The second year of this project involved translating the research findings into design ideas and testing design ideas iteratively through OR mock-ups of increasing levels of fidelity. This project explored the use of a range of different mock-ups starting with tape on the floor to cardboard mock-ups and virtual reality. Orthopedic and pediatric clinical teams from MUSC enacted scenarios in the mock-up, which incorporated typical events that occur during surgical procedures. Each mock-up was tested in terms of its effectiveness to achieve the goals set out through design objectives and design guidelines. To facilitate this process systematically, an evaluation toolkit was developed. Design refinements were made based on the feedback received from the surgical team during the simulations.

PHASE I TAPE ON THE FLOOR MOCK-UP The studio design team developed four design proposals in separate groups, two of which were selected to be tested in the mock-up phase. The design options included two OR sizes of varying proportions. Location of the walls and doors were marked on the floor using blue tape. Some real equipment like OR table were brought in to test circulation patterns and adequacy of space. In order to test effectiveness of both the conceptual designs, clinicians were asked to enact tasks that simulate part of a surgery to test a few design features. The goal was to understand how these features potentially impacted space usage, clutter and flow within the OR.

Location and placement of the OR table was determined. The angled position of the OR table provides ample circulation area and might help to optimize movement. Offsetting the surgical table from the centerline provides ample room for pivoting the stretcher when moving into the room, feet or head first.

PHASE II INITIAL CARDBOARD MOCK-UP The studio merged two groups of four into a group of eight for the second phase. They came up with consolidated designs that used the same footprint as determined in the previous simulation. Full-scale prefabricated cardboard modules were constructed and assembled on site by the graduate students. The modular wall components of the mock-up facilitated testing and evaluation of multiple design options quickly and easily. This second iteration of the mockup tested concepts associated with ancillary induction and preparation rooms, along with work zones and equipment placement in preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative phases of orthopedic and pediatric surgeries.

PHASE III REFINED CARDBOARD MOCK-UP The design team took lessons learned and the experiences from the first cardboard mock-up and revised the OR design which was then translated into a refined cardboard mock-up. Most of the placeholder equipment from the previous mock was replaced with real OR equipment to allow users to understand space availability. This mockup was dedicated to testing and confirming the entry exit sequencing, location of doors, and location of induction and preparation room in relation to foot of the bed and scrub sink. Additional elements like the location of supplies, wall mounted displays and customized mobile circulating nurse’s workstation were tested. The orthopedic and pediatric clinicians enacted simulation scenarios that helped to evaluate the six design variations.

alt

ENACTMENT: You will be playing a number of scenarios, which helps us evaluate the effectiveness of the adopted design strategies in the OR. You will not be evaluated on how you perform task, but we will be looking at the space accommodation for the tasks to which you are assigned. Before enacting each scenario, we will review the scenario and read it aloud to remind the details that may have been missed.

r o rf

He

DISCUSSION/FOCUS GROUP: During the enactment, we will be asking the players and observers to discuss some of the topics that need more input and explorations. These topics are the location and quantity of storage for anesthesia personnel and CN, location and content of the displays, and number of door to separate the travel paths for the CN and patient, and surgical table sidedness.

e t n e C

THINK ALOUD: While acting you may express your thoughts on the action needed and how you see the space supporting or hindering that. For example, if I were enacting the role of a nurse in the scenario and was hooking up an IV pump that needs to be plugged in, I might say that I need to plug in the pump and that there are no conveniently located electrical outlets. There are no right or wrong comments, so please speak freely. If you forget to state your thoughts out loud, I may occasionally prompt you to continue to do so. DEBRIEF: If you forget to mention something during a scenario, you will also be given an opportunity to have a reflective conversation through debriefing at the end of each scenario. For those involved in the scenario, I will be conducting the debriefing. For observers who were not directly involved in the scenario, [insert name of debriefing facilitator] will be conducting the debriefing session. For all design options: Jake to introduce the overall scenarios and tasks to all team members and then have them run through the surgery. Direct the team when they should transition from one stage (pre-op) to next. Try to remove yourself from what you have always done. Build upon your experience

Task

Evaluation question

Bed transfer

Does the transfer bed move through the room and rotate easily given the amount of space and surgical table placement and surgery sidedness? Is there enough space around the surgical table and gurney to facilitate transfer of patient? Is there anything that is blocking the anesthesia provider when they move from the anesthesia workstation to the supplies?

Stretcher brought in

Anesthesia task related to accessing storage (TBD)

Are there any bumps or challenges maneuvering the gurney? Is there a clear path of movement from the door to the surgical table?

check Notes

Where is the ideal storage location for the anesthesia personnel? How much storage is needed for the anesthesia personnel?

Surgeon enters and reviews patient information at surgical workstation. Discusses surgery with team members

Is there a clear path of travel for the surgeon to access the workstation? Is there enough space around the surgical workstation for the surgeon to confer with team members? Does there appear to be any conflict when the surgeon and nurse are at the shared workstation at the same time?

Time Out on large screen in the room

Is the circulating nurse able to lead the time out discussion from her station? Can all team members view the timeout screen?

Additional questions and notes:

DEVELOPMENT OF DESIGN GUIDELINES

g n ti s Te

The development of design guidelines began during the design charrette with identifying the aim of the project to be quality and safetyin the OR. This aim was informed by five Evidence Based Design (EBD) goals. The design guidelines that were developed throughout the design process to address multiple evidence-based design goals. Each guideline was expanded upon with definitions, significance and implementation strategies.

& n g i s

The design guidelines served as a means of informing the design process as well as a future way to evaluate the design, and are reflected in many of the design decisions that were ultimately made.

DESIGN GUIDELINES OPTIMIZE MOVEMENT AND FLOW

g n ti s Te

Minimize unnecessary effort, trips and steps by clinical staff engaged in surgical procedures, as well as reduce conflicts in movement patterns.

& n g i s

Why it is important: Planning the OR to optimize movement and flow: • Reduce unnecessary movement and steps • Reduce flow disruptions (Beldi et al., 2009; Broom et al., 2011; Bulitta, 2012; Chauveaux, 2015; Elbardissi, 2012) • Reduce door opening (Panahi et al., 2012)

e D s

How we addressed it:

lt a e

e i t i l i c a F h

Table Position: Surgical table is positioned diagonally and asymmetrically off-center in the room (Panahi et al., 2012) • •

Provides greater space for movement of staff between the room entry and their work areas Enables an efficient workspace for anesthesia staff and minimizes wasted space behind the anesthesia machine

H r o f r

Room Zoning: The room is organized into clear zones or quadrants:

e t n e C • • •

Anesthesia work zone [AZ] Sterile zone [SZ] Circulation zone [CZ]

A virtual reality model was developed of the OR prototype in collaboration with researchers at the College of Computing at Clemson University. This platform provided an opportunity for all team members to visualize the space and ‘play’ with it prior to the development of a high-fidelity mock-up. An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of four different media in communicating design and workflow information with clinical end users. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the OR prototype in each medium (floor plan, perspective image, physical mock-up, and virtual environments) and to determine how the varying platforms support users’ perception of spatial characteristics, functionality, work performance and aesthetic quality, as well as establish which medium is most beneficial at different stages within the design process to gain feedback about function and workflow.

3D Gestural input study

alt

e H r o rf

e t n e C

g n ti s Te

Since anesthesia providers only intermittently clean their hands while moving throughout the anesthesia work area, their potentially contaminated hands touch objects such as the patient bed, anesthesia cart and monitors, and computer keyboards. The touchless feature of 3D, vision-based gestural input is attractive to sterile environments such as operating rooms since 3D gestural inputs can help maintain sterility and limit the spread of bacteria that can occur through physical contact. The development of a touchless interface for perioperative anesthesia may reduce bacterial contamination and eventually offer a reduced risk of infection to patients.

The objective of this study was to map 3D gestural inputs to anesthesia functions in the operating room. The same experiment was repeated for two user groups: anesthesia providers (i.e., experts) (N=16) and students (i.e., novices) (N=30). Videos from both experiments were analyzed to determine intuitive gesture-function mappings, and response time to perform a gesture was collected as a complementary measure for cognitive load.


RESEARCH QUESTIONS RQ 1

RQ 2

Which gesture-function mappings that are most intuitive to the use? Are gesture-function mappings same or divergent for novices and experts of a 3D, vision-based gestural input system when exposed to the same context of anesthesia tasks in the OR?

& n g i s

FINDINGS 1

The gesture-function mapping sets for the anesthesia providers and the students showed some of the same mappings and some divergent mappings

2

Anesthesia providers’ divergent mappings exhibited gestures that showed a strong contextual relationship to the physical environment

3

The domain expertise of the anesthesia provider group may be influential in determining gesture-function mappings

4

Hand gestures do not require an anesthesia provider to turn their back away from a patient; therefore, there is the added benefit of not having to disengage from the patient to interact with a computer via hand gestures

Tactile display study

g n ti s Te

Tactile displays being investigated in an anesthesia context as an alternative to traditional displays. This study investigated performance of tactile displays where participants are purposefully subjected to multiple movements and postural demands. An experimental study with 24 participants was conducted. The study investigated three movements including sitting while typing, standing, and walking along with tactile change detection task. The study looked at how movement type, body location, and tactile cue complexity influenced response accuracy. This study was followed up with a focus group with participants from the MUSC Department of Anesthesiology to evaluate tactile cues. These tactile cues manipulated intensity, spatial location, and temporal aspects and participants were asked to evaluate each cues based on its perceived urgency, ease of differentiating between other tactile cues, and what each cue could represent about mean arterial pressure, end-tidal carbon dioxide, and pulse oximetry.


RESEARCH QUESTIONS RQ 1 RQ 2

How does the complexity of the tactile display affect the arm and back during three movements? How does body movement affect tactile display perception?

RQ 3

How can tactile displays present patient parameters to clinicians?

RQ 4

How can tactile parameters be mapped to physiological parameters and events?

The findings of this study indicate that tactile displays have accuracy levels that are promising to be used in the OR. Using body location and intensity levels would allow designers to develop a tacton (i.e., tactile icon) set to communicate variable levels. A second tactile display study and focus groups were conducted with MUSC anesthesia providers. Here the findings showed that increasing tacitle intensity is effective in representing more urgent events. Also, tactile cues changing intensity may be better used to represent mean arterial pressure whereas changing temporal elements may be better used to represent pulse oximetry.

Influence of traffic, area location, and other factors on operating room microbial load

e t n e C

H r o f r

To evaluate how microbial load is affected by PEMSI flows, a series of data collection in the OR was conducted. First baseline microbial loads of unoccupied ORs during nighttime was collected. Then the data collection relative to timing of key steps during the surgical procedure (e.g. patient in room, procedure start, procedure finish, patient out of room). A second round of data collection was then conducted and statistical analysis of the data was completed. Many healthcare professionals share the opinion that door openings suggest a lack of coordination. While there exists literature to suggest that door openings reduce the coordination performance, our analysis of literature did not find a relationship between door openings and changes in microbial load levels .

RESEARCH QUESTIONS RQ 1

How does the movement of patients, equipment, materials, staff, and door openings within the operating room (OR) affect microbial loads at various locations within the OR?

FINDINGS Human agents in the OR play a critical role in microbe disturbance and transfer (significant difference between high and low traffic flow areas). Another key result is that we identified a statistically significant difference between high and low traffic flow areas and the resulting levels of microbial load. This indicates that the human agents in the OR play a critical role in microbe disturbance and transfer, and our future OR traffic flow management policies should reflect these findings.

The circulating nurse (CN) in an operating room (OR) plays a key role in supporting the progress of the operation and the surgical team, patient safety, and protecting and maintaining patient safety during both the preparation phase and intra-operative phase of surgery. The dynamics of travel within a room, which impacts users’ travel time, exhaustion, and confusion, is driven by the spatial relationships and adjacencies in a layout. While spatial relationships are studied in larger contexts of the overall healthcare settings or surgical suites, there is a lack of research on spatial relationships inside the ORs.

AnyLogic software package was used to simulate (playback) discrete events that were observed in the videos. To do this, extracted excel files from the observer were fed into the AnyLogic software to simulate a playback of the videos on the floor plan of the OR. This is a strong first step that allows for simulation and testing of behaviors in the OR prototypes under development. The simulation has been also helpful in studying flows and surgical flow disruptions. This has implications for studying layout design based on specific metrics.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS RQ 1

What type of layout most efficiently supports staff and patient requirements on the day of surgery?

FINDINGS

Several discrete-event simulation models were developed to assist in analyzing the PEMSI flows that occurred in the videotaped surgeries. Key metrics recorded were the distances traveled of staff within the OR, the density of occupancy within each zone in the OR, and the frequency of common paths used within the OR. These metrics provide performance outcome measures that allow the team to compare OR design and layout changes, as well as changes in OR workflow practices, on coordination performance. Part of this finding has been studying the connections between different zones within the OR and the circulating nurse’s workflow pertaining to the zones configurations.

Aim: To assess how the adjacencies of functionally different areas within ORs can influence the circulating nurse’s workflow patterns and disruptions. Background: The circulating nurse (CN) plays a significant role in promoting patient safety during surgical procedures by observing, monitoring, and managing potential threats at and around the surgical field. Their work requires constant movement to different parts of the OR to support team members. The layout of the OR and crowded and cluttered ORs might impact their workflow and cause disruptions during the surgery. Method: A convenience sample of 25 surgeries were video recorded and thematically coded for CN’s activities, locations, and flow disruptions. The OR layout was categorized into transitional zones and functional zones (workstations, supply zones, support zones, and sterile areas around the surgical table). CN’s activities were classified into patient, equipment, material, and information related activities. Flow disruptions included those related to environmental hazards and layout. Results: The CN traveled through multiple zones during 91% of the activities. The CN’s workstation acted as a main hub from which the CN made frequent trips to both sides of the surgical table, the foot of the OR table, supply zones, and support zones. Transitional zones accounted for 58.3% of all flow disruption that the CN was involved in whereas 28% occurred in areas surrounding the OR bed. Conclusion: The similarity of the movement and flow disruption patterns, despite variations in OR layout, highlighted the adjacencies required between major zones that CNs regularly visit. These optimum adjacencies should be considered while designing ORs such that they are more efficient and safer.

& n g i s

There is a growing interest in using touch to offload the often overburdened visual channel as its merit has been demonstrated in various work domains. However, more work is needed to understand the perceptual limitations of the tactile modality, including how it is affected by change blindness (i.e., failure to detect changes due to transients) as the majority of work on change blindness has been in vision. This study examines how movement and cue complexity affects the ability to detect tactile changes. The findings indicate the ability to detect changes are affected by: 1) movement (walking resulted in worse change detection rates compared to sitting) and 2) cue complexity (high complexity cues had worse change detection rates compared to low complexity). Overall, this work adds to the knowledge base of tactile perception and can inform the design of tactile displays for multiple work domains such as anesthesiology.

Limited research has focused on vigilance during the maintenance phase of anesthesia work. The goal of this study was to identify anesthesia maintenance tasks and to identify the transitions between these tasks within the perspective of the vigilance paradigm. In this study, three bariatric surgeries were recorded and analyzed using a task categorization structure. Across the surgeries the primary anesthesia provider spent 71% of their time doing patient or display monitoring tasks. Task frequency and transition visualizations were generated to identify trends in the task switching. Transitions between the task categories occurred approximately once every nine seconds for the primary anesthesia provider. Additionally, it appears that regardless of the task, there was a high frequency of task transitions to looking at the visual displays and then from the visual displays towards the patient. The results of this study emphasize the importance of vigilance for anesthesia display design.

& n g i s

Objective. This review of empirical literature focuses on the design of operating rooms (ORs) by investigating the physical environmental features of ORs associated with patient and staff outcomes. Background. Many ORs built more than 30 years ago remain operational today. However, most are inadequately designed to handle the equipment, processes, and people that a contemporary OR needs to accommodate. However, the evidence base for designing ORs has been sorely lacking, and little guidance exists on how OR design can improve safety and performance outcomes. Method. A literature search was conducted using PubMed and the university’s linked databases. The inclusion criteria included peer-reviewed journal articles that reported some aspect of the physical environment of ORs along with outcomes. The study included empirical studies as well as nonempirical best practice papers. Results. This literature review uncovered 211 articles. The main themes that emerged include OR design-related factors, ventilation, temperature and humidity, acoustical environment, lighting, and materials. Some environmental threats to patient safety in the OR include frequent door openings, clutter, poor air quality, surface contamination, and noise. Further, staff performance and satisfaction were impacted by factors such as the OR layout and equipment and furniture ergonomics. Conclusion. This literature review provides an overview of the research organized into design-focused topic areas to support decision-making by architects and designers. This article highlights gaps in the research and identifies areas where best practice and design assumptions need to be evaluated using rigorous design research.

In Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 61th Annual Meeting. Austin, TX. 2nd Place, Best Paper Award, Health Care Technical Group.

& n g i s

Gestures are a natural means of every day human-human communication, and with the advances in gestural input technology, there is an opportunity to investigate gestures as a means of communicating with computers and other devices. The primary benefit of gestural input technology is that it facilitates a touchless interaction, so the ideal market demand for this technology is an environment where touch needs to be minimized. The perfect example of an environment that discourages touch are sterile or clean environments, such as operating rooms (ORs). Healthcare-associated infections are a great burden to the healthcare system, and gestural input technology can decrease the number of surfaces, computers, and other devices that a healthcare provider comes in contact with, thus reducing the likelihood of bacterial contamination. The objective of this research was to map 3D gestural inputs to traditional touchscreen interface designs within the context of anesthesiology. An experimental study was conducted to elicit intuitive gestures from users and assess the cognitive complexity of ten typical functions of anesthesia providers. Intuitive gestures were observed in six out of the ten functions without any cognitive complexity concerns. Two functions, of the remaining four, demonstrated a higher-level gesture mapping with no cognitive complexity concerns. Overall, gestural input technology demonstrated promise for the ten functions of anesthesia providers in the operating room, and future research will continue investigating the application of gestural input technology for anesthesiology in the OR.

e t n e C

A simulation model was created to model the traffic flow in the operating room. A key research challenge in operating room design is to create the most efficient layout that supports staff and patient requirements on the day of surgery. The simulation allows comparison of base model designs to future designs using several performance measures. To develop the model, we videotaped multiple surgeries in a set of operating rooms and then coded all activities by location, agent and purpose. Our current analysis compares layouts based on total distance walked by agents, as well as the number of contacts, measured as the number of times agents must change their path to accommodate some other agent or physical constraint in the room. We demonstrate the value and capability of the model by improving traffic flow in the operating room as a result of rotating the bed orientation.

BACKGROUND

Disruptive developments in medical technology and medical practice are impacting how surgeries are being performed today

PARTNERS AND PROCESS

The incidence of adverse events such as surgical site infections and surgical errors are a huge problem in the operating room (OR) due to the highly vulnerable state of the patient and the complex interactions required between providers of different disciplines and a range of equipment, technology and the physical space where care is provided. Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina have been awarded a 4-year grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality to develop a learning lab focused on patient safety in the OR. This learning lab, titled ‘Realizing Improved Patient Care through Human Centered Design in the OR (RIPCHD.OR)’ is a multidisciplinary initiative involving architects, human factors experts, industrial engineers, nurses and anesthesiologists. The goal of this paper was to develop a systems approach for observing and analyzing the OR work system and to describe how this systems approach was used to analyze operating rooms environments, finally leading to the development of design guidelines for designing operating rooms.

Abstract Objective: This review of empirical literature focuses on the design of operating rooms (ORs) by investigating the physical environmental features of ORs associated with patient and staff outcomes. Background: Many ORs built more than 30 years ago remain operational today. However, most are inadequately designed to handle the equipment, processes, and people that a contemporary OR needs to accommodate. However, the evidence base for designing ORs has been sorely lacking, and little guidance exists on how OR design can improve safety and performance outcomes. Method: A literature search was conducted using PubMed and the university’s linked databases. The inclusion criteria included peer-reviewed journal articles that reported some aspect of the physical environment of ORs along with outcomes. The study included empirical studies as well as nonempirical best practice papers. Results: This literature review uncovered 211 articles. The main themes that emerged include OR design-related factors, ventilation, temperature and humidity, acoustical environment, lighting, and materials. Some environmental threats to patient safety in the OR include frequent door openings, clutter, poor air quality, surface contamination, and noise. Further, staff performance and satisfaction were impacted by factors such as the OR layout and equipment and furniture ergonomics. Conclusion: This literature review provides an overview of the research organized into designfocused topic areas to support decision-making by architects and designers. This article highlights gaps in the research and identifies areas where best practice and design assumptions need to be evaluated using rigorous design research. Keywords operating room design, patient safety, staff satisfaction, staff performance

PROJ

Findings: Using a systems approach yielded rich insights about the tasks and activities of key stakeholders, the locations of people, objects and equipment, space needs during different phases of surgery and also the inter-dependencies and relationships between key players in the OR. The operating room needs to be flexible and adaptable to meet current and future needs. Key areas of consideration include the amount and location of storage to minimize door openings in the OR, relative location of zones in the OR to optimize flows and the need to promote situational awareness among team members for optimal communication.

UNMASKING OF ANESTHESIA-RELATED ALARMS AND COMMUNICATIONS

This work extends what is known about alarms, interruptions, and distractions in the operating room by examining them from a systems perspective.

An in-depth literature review was conducted to develop and refine a systems approach for studying the OR work system. The OR work system (people, tasks, technology, built environment, processes) was then studied through analysis of videotapes of 35 surgeries in three different departments (general, orthopedic and pediatric). Additionally, three case studies were conducted to understand alternate approaches and best practice in OR system design. Finally, design guidelines were created to help translate research findings into the design of a prototype OR.

Currently, the process of building a high fidelity OR mock-up at the Clemson Design Center at Charleston (Cigar Factory) is underway. The high-fidelity mockup will include an OR boom, surgical equipment, modular wall systems, sliding doors, flooring and other features developed through the design project. This mock-up will allow the team to realistically simulate a complete surgery and identify any potential safety risks associated with the proposed design. Evaluation protocol and scenarios for testing the mock-up are being developed. Prototypes being developed by teams 1 and 2 will also be integrated into this high fidelity mock and will be tested.
