We suggest designing ICUs with capacity for monitoring and controlling devices outside of patient rooms. We suggest building ICUs using tele-ICU capacity. ICU designs should plan for surges in patient volumes, and this should consider the ICU space, as well as novel hospital spaces.

Feb 21, 2025 · Due to substantial shifts in healthcare, SCCM sought to update the 2012 ICU Design Guidelines to provide expert guidance for clinicians, administrators, and healthcare architects considering new ICU design or renovation.

Monitors currently in use in intensive care units (ICUs) provide information in numerical and waveform formats, but most such displays originated in patient monitors developed for use by anesthesiologists. The present study focused on problems related to …

Thus, we believe it well-timed to review the design of novel PM interfaces, with particular reference to usability and human factors. This paper aims to review innovations in PM design proposed by researchers and explore how clinicians responded to these design changes.

Mar 27, 2023 · ICUs have transformed from beds in open spaces to single-bed patient rooms with associated enhancements in patient privacy, safety, infection control, aesthetics, and experiences for patients, visitors, and staff.

The traditional design of critical care units has been influenced by reliance on a single paper medical record, central monitors, and regulations promoting a single, centrally located workstation from which all beds within the unit can be observed.

ICUs have transformed from beds in open spaces to single-bed patient rooms with asso-ciated enhancements in patient privacy, safety, infection control, aesthetics, and experi-ences for patients, visitors, and staff.

Sep 28, 2024 · Modern ICU design should consider various elements such as layout, isolation rooms, staff areas, and family rooms. Technological developments such as Smart ICU and the ICU Without Walls concept...

HCI design of ICU monitors facilitate monitoring of physiological parameters of critical patients accurately, and help doctors to treat and cure quickly and effectively.

In this study, we aim to apply a human-centered design approach to evaluate the usability of a remote patient-monitoring system user interface (UI) in the ICU context and conceptualize and evaluate design changes.
