Healthcare design research update

By Ellen M. Taylor AIA posted 06-21-2019 12:09 PM

  
If you’re trying to keep up with research in healthcare design, it can be like drinking from a firehose at times. AAH recently presented a webinar about our partnership with The Center for Health design on the Knowledge Repository, Better than Google: What’s out there and how to find it. The webinar itself included a live walkthrough of the free online resource. If you’ve never used the Knowledge Repository, you may want to check out the latest research citations you might use to inform your design. The Knowledge Repository can’t house full-text papers, due to copyright issues, but Key Point Summaries are written to help distill the study findings in layman’s terms. If you need more detail, you can click on the source link to access the publisher’s site for the full paper.

Check out the Key Point Summaries currently available for papers published in 2018! They include summaries on:
