“…Pati and colleagues (2015) found that decentralized nursing design results in a decline in face-to-face interaction and collaborative communication. The central nurse station can be perceived as a critical place for patient supervision, interaction among staff, and surveillance of visitors (Johanes & Atmodiwirjo, 2015; Pati, Harvey, Redden, Summers, & Pati, 2015). The spatial relationship of the nurse station with patient rooms, and with other nurse stations, is emphasized (Johanes & Atmodiwirjo, 2015).…”

The purpose of this systematic review is to investigate the current knowledge about the impact of healthcare facility design on teamwork and communication by exploring the relevant literature. Teamwork and communication are behavioral factors that are impacted by physical design. However, the effects of environmental factors on teamwork and communication have not been investigated extensively in healthcare design literature. There are no published systematic reviews on the current topic. Searches were conducted in PubMed and Google Scholar databases in addition to targeted design journals including Health Environmental Research & Design, Environment and Behavior, Environmental Psychology, and Applied Ergonomics. Inclusion criteria were (a) full-text English language articles related to teamwork and communication and (b) involving any healthcare built environment and space design published in peer-reviewed journals between 1984 and 2017. Studies were extracted using defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the first phase, 26 of the 195 articles most relevant to teamwork and 19 studies of the 147 were identified and reviewed to understand the impact of communication in healthcare facilities. The literature regarding the impact of built environment on teamwork and communication were reviewed and explored in detail. Eighteen studies were selected and succinctly summarized as the final product of this review. Environmental design, which involves nurses, support staff, and physicians, is one of the critical factors that promotes the efficiency of teamwork and collaborative communication. Layout design, visibility, and accessibility levels are the most cited aspects of design which can affect the level of communication and teamwork in healthcare facilities.

“…This research uses a computational approach to analyse the spatial organisations of the lobby and outpatient area of Universitas Indonesia Hospital. A computational tool based on isovist and visibility graph in analysing the visibility properties of a spatial configuration has been developed in our previous study (Johanes & Atmodiwirjo, 2015). In the current study, the tool is extended to visualise the VCA of the signage to assist the wayfinding system optimisation.…”

“…Visibility analysis can be conducted systematically by using computational tools (Johanes & Atmodiwirjo, 2015;McElhinney & Psarra, 2014;Turner et al, 2001). The use of visibility analytical tools can provide valuable insight for examining and optimising the visibility properties of a spatial configuration.…”

This study aims to show the application of visibility analysis in hospital outpatient areas to improve wayfinding performance. Visibility is regarded as an essential aspect in wayfinding sign design and affected by the spatial configuration of the environment where the signs are located. The complexity of hospital environment prevents the designers to predict its visibility properties and also creates difficulties in determining the requirement for the sign system such as the location, direction, and size of signs. Based on isovist, visibility graph and visual catchment area (VCA) concept introduced from the past studies, we developed analytical and visualisation tools to aid the wayfinding design processes. The results suggest that the use of visibility analysis in wayfinding sign design can provide valuable insight into the preliminary analysis before the design process, as well as enable design optimisation in the development stages.
