What is the Dublin Methodist Hospital (DMH) Case Study
GOAL?
a)To measure the design interventions on healthcare outcomes, and ultimately to quantify the financial influence of the EBD on the business case(hospital construction and operation)
b)To measure hypotheses for healthcare goals, and ultimately to quanity the financial influence of the EBD on the business case.
c)To measure evidence for 3 goals related to same-handed patient rooms and location of bathrooms. |

| How many different studies were involved and what were they? |
|
Definition
3. The major settings of the study will be in the nursing units.
Study 1- concurrent comparisons will be made btwn the DMH and the baseline hospitals
Study 2-Compare patient rooms within DMH nursing units(like-handed room with bathroom on head wall and window orientations.)
Study 3- will have a 2 x 2 factorial design. |

| What are the outcome variables (hint, think about the goals) and how are metrics related? |
|
Definition
| The outcome variables include business case, like handed room with bathroom on headwall, window views of patient rooms. The metrics relate to things you can measure, like the number of errors, falling incidents (bus case), observed hand washing (like handed room w/ bathroom on headwall) and heart rate, blood pressure (views). |

| Timeline for EBD Steps 1-3? |
|
Definition
1. Define Goals - 5 months (Preparation) ID research contact people, select baseline hospitals, obtain healthcare metrics, obtain IRB requirements, conduct literature research, finalize data collection, submit IRB application
2. Find Sources - 2 years (Data Collection) Track changes in the measurement of healthcare metrics, conduct focus groups, questionnnaire surveys, observations, measure noise levels
3. Interpret Evidence - 5 months (Data Analysis) Report study results |
