MetroHealth Is Change Agent For Community

Image
It was at least 10 years ago that I heard Abbie Clary, now of CannonDesign and then of HDR , share the results of research conducted in an economically and medically challenged Chicago neighborhood. Specifically, she discussed how residents there viewed and even defined healthcare, and it definitely wasn’t what I expected at the time. The results covered issues like childcare, public transit, jobs, green space, etc. That session forever shifted my perspective on what healthcare—or any given hospital or health system—can contribute to a community to positively influence its health and well-being. The idea of the answer not being medicine was provocative at the time; now, it’s broadly accepted. The embrace of population health has moved the needle on how healthcare campuses might be planned and the types of programming they could support to help achieve wellness. Visioning is the easy part, though. Delivering projects that accomplish such goals is another story. Even great ideas migh

Designing For Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment

Image
Designers and researchers have made significant advances in designing environments that meet the needs of the general aging population as well as people living with dementia. Nevertheless, 12 to 18 percent of people aged 60 or older develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI), falling between these two populations. People living with MCI often have difficulties making plans, focusing attention, remembering instructions, interacting with others, and operating independently at home and in their communities due to their decline in cognitive functioning. Such challenges are more prominent than those that cognitively healthy older adults face, but they’re not as incapacitating as those experienced by people living with dementia. Thus, the design of healthcare facilities for people living with MCI should not simply follow the recipe learned from those undergoing normal aging or dementia . Addressing mild cognitive impairment For many decades, MCI has not been understood as a specific condit
