Read the latest Design Discoveries: https://loom.ly/nmb7KLk In the latest “Design Discoveries” column in July/August edition of Health Facilities Management magazine, The Center’s Research Associate Yolanda Keys shares three resources from our Knowledge Repository – a searchable, open-access database – that examine design features influencing circadian rhythm. Disrupted circadian rhythms (day-night cycles) can compromise the recovery of hospitalized patients. The featured research can be considered when evaluating design interventions to facilitate healthy circadian functions across patient populations. As the American Society for Health Care Engineering (ASHE)'s new Strategic Education Collaborator and a PDC Summit Supporting Organization, The Center is pleased to extend to our community a free two-year digital subscription to HFM. Look for Center news, design research discoveries from our team, and in-depth features from The Center and our Environment Networks and research partners in each issue.
