What's next in hyper-flexible and sustainable medical facilities? That's what BOMA International wanted to know when it interviewed HOK's Ami Shah and Anica Landreneau! A few highlights from their conversation: Ami discussed her work designing hyperflexible "sandbox" teaching environments (image below). Featuring movable walls and theatrical ceiling grids, these highly adaptable spaces provide a more immersive experience for training medical students. "The question for architects is, 'How do you prepare learners to be in the best environment they can be?,'" said Ami. "As we first looked into reinventing these spaces, we discussed the psychology of learning and pedagogy. With that, we understood that a student might not absorb material as well when passively listening to lectures, versus how they might learn from interactive engagement." Anica shared how more medical facilities are discovering the benefits of biophilia - and - how medical institutions can find cost-effective ways to improve sustainability. "We're working on a hospital in Washington, D.C., where we have designed a 900 KW solar array over the parking deck at no cost to our hospital developer/operator," said Anica. "We leveraged that through a power purchase agreement. There's a lot of local and federal incentives for renewable energy that is more accessible than people realize. And many sustainability measures are cost neutral – you're not losing a treatment space or a hospital bed by applying these features."

Development of Distance Simulation Educator Guidelines in Healthcare A Delphi Method Application Authors: Bajwa, Maria; Ahmed, Rami; Lababidi, Hani; et al Reviewer: Sepand Malek Link to paper: https://lnkd.in/evgcGZ3G 🌟 Exciting News in Healthcare Education! 🌟 📚 Are you curious about the future of healthcare education in a post-pandemic world? Look no further! A groundbreaking paper has just been published, detailing the development of Distance Simulation Educator Guidelines in Healthcare. 🔍 In response to the challenges posed by COVID-19, healthcare education underwent a rapid transformation, embracing distance simulation methods. However, educators lacked formal training in this evolving modality. 🌐 Through an extensive international collaboration, experts in healthcare simulation came together to fill this gap. Utilising a multiphasic study approach, they meticulously crafted guidelines to equip educators with the necessary skills for effective distance simulation teaching. 💡 Key findings shed light on essential competencies, including fostering professional values, mastering healthcare knowledge, and navigating technology. Moreover, the guidelines emphasise the crucial aspects of psychological safety, debriefing techniques, and leveraging standardised participants. 🌱 These guidelines represent a significant step forward in standardising and democratising healthcare education. By providing educators with the tools they need, we aim to enhance learning outcomes and ensure the highest standards of care in the healthcare profession. 💬 What are your thoughts on the future of healthcare education in a digital age?
