Patient Centered
Get PDFIt is inevitable to adapt uneasy feelings leading up to and during a doctor\u27s appointment. The question is why do humans feel this? Research indicates that many medical offices and appointment spaces are designed for employee efficiency, rather that patient experience. This sheds light on the fact that there is a disconnect between provider needs and patient needs in this important, shared space.
Regardless of the type of offices, from general practice to dermatology, every physician office and appointment space have common spatial and operation needs. All healthcare offices need the same type of circulation that creates ease while moving through the space. Patient experience can be assessed on a global level, the focus of research for these specific obstetrician and gynecology medical spaces and the intricacies, nuances, and sensitivities related to this expertise.
This project explores those three core needs of space planning, circulation and ease of use as it pertains to OB/GYN spaces throughout the U.S, comparing appointment type, demographics and geographical culture. Examining the design priorities while shifting the focus from provider efficiency to patients, and argues that patient-focused design in a medical office will increase efficiency for both patient and provider. More importantly, shifting this focus to patients will decrease uneasy patient feelings before and during appointments
Connections Through Contrast The Built Environment Embracing Art Exhibition
Get PDFAn emotionally immersive experience within a museum setting can foster feelings of belonging, engagement, exploration, understanding and connection. Providing an environment where empathetic immersion can be achieved through physical, psychological, and social enablers lead to transformative experiences for the visitor. To promote physical, psychological, and social enablers within the museum setting to promote empathetic immersion within its visitors, this museum will consider the following strategies:
Physical Enablers: The museum space will address physical enablers by including environmental features such as diverse opportunities for seating, immersive lighting techniques, and curated finish selections for individual exhibit spaces as well as interactive displays that encourage visitors to engage with and explore the artwork on a deeper level.
Physical: Engage & Explore
Psychological Enablers: The museum space will address the psychological enablers in the museum space by including educational and interpretive materials that help visitors understand and connect with the artwork. This will include clear wayfinding strategies, digestible museum labels, along with educational workshop spaces. This museum will also create designated opportunities for reflection and contemplation with the inclusion of “reflection rooms” within the floor plan.
Psychological: Understand & Connect
Social Enablers: The museum space will address the social enablers by encouraging visitors to engage with others and the artwork in their chosen method and setting. This will include the incorporation of “share” spaces such as workshops, event spaces, and cafes. As well as museum displays that invite questions and discourse. This will encourage visitors to absorb others and share their own experiences and thoughts on the artwork through written and spoken dialogue fostering feelings of belonging within the community.
Social: Foster Feelings of Belonging
By implementing physical, psychological, and social enablers within contrasting hope and sorrow galleries, this museum will foster an emotional connection within its visitors and promote empathetic immersion. By encouraging visitors within the museum space to engage with the artwork on a physical, psychological, and social level they will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the artwork displayed and experience a transformative and immersive experience within the museum

Get PDFThe COVID Long Term Care Facilities page was obtained from Michigan\u27s COVID-19 data page: https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/stats/data-about-places/long-term-care-data.
This report is created by the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services from data self-reported by long-term care facilities into EMResource. Data for all reporting facilities is posted weekly each Monday.
The information below represents COVID-19 data reported directly to MDHHS by licensed and operating Skilled Nursing, Home for the Aged and Adult Foster Care facilities (licensed to serve 13 or more individuals) in Michigan from January 1, 2020. All long-term care facilities additionally have an obligation to report COVID-positive residents and/or staff to their Local Health Department. Ensuring accurate and timely reporting by those facilities subject to MDHHS reporting requirements is a priority for the State of Michigan. The data is leveraged to guide state efforts and ensure sufficient support is provided where it is needed most, as well as to allow transparency for residents and families. MDHHS employs ongoing data validation processes and works with the Institute for Health Policy at MSU to support additional validation exercises on the data. When a facility is flagged for a validation concern, the department may work with the Regional Health Care Coalition, conduct direct outreach, and provide technical assistance to the facility. Facilities are provided the opportunity to correct entry errors identified during the validation process. All data presented is considered provisional and may change as facilities correct or add data

An Accessible Garden for CDS: Facilitating Participation, Building Skills, and Raising Awareness
Get PDFThe concentration area for this doctoral capstone experience (DCE) was program development, which occurred at the Community Connection Skill Building. This site provides services to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Research has found that individuals with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities often face barriers to community participation which can lead to poor health outcomes, engagement in more sedentary activities, and a reduction in quality of life. Participation in garden-based activities can promote health and wellbeing and establish a sense of purpose within the community. A needs assessment at the DCE site revealed the need for additional programs that provide community participation and opportunities for skill building. To address those needs, three wheelchair accessible raised beds were built and a corresponding accessible gardening program was developed for participants receiving services at the Community Connections Skill Building. The design of the garden beds presents opportunities to be utilized in various occupational therapy (OT) practice settings as part of a therapeutic intervention. Additionally, creation of this program demonstrated the benefits of inclusive program development utilizing an OT perspective and highlights the need for OTs in nontraditional settings
Impact of Cooking Groups on Children and Adolescents with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Get PDFEngagement in play and leisure activities is an important component of daily life for individuals of all ages. However, there is still a lack of leisure and recreation availability and knowledge regarding children with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their participation in daily activities specifically related to play, recreation, and socialization. With healthcare advocacy efforts on the rise, the implementation of a meaningful leisure occupation, such as cooking, through group classes is evident in order to improve one’s overall quality of life. The aim of this 14- week education and program development based capstone project is to improve inclusivity and increase leisure opportunities for kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities at a pediatric cooking school through in-person and virtual cooking class contexts. This study was developed through extensive staff training and caregiver coaching within an occupation-based lens. Patterns between increased understanding of sensory-based techniques and enhanced staff confidence emerged. Additionally, a positive link between participant engagement in group classes and improved mood and sense of belonging were significant, however, long term physical impacts and accessibility proposes the need for more research directly related to group engagement and leisure activities for children and adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities
