You're not wrong. ICU delirium is a serious problem. https://www.statnews.com/2016/10/14/icu-delirium-hospitals/ But it's tough to make improvements. Regular hospital design is (roughly) optimized for staff productivity. They need to be able to treat and monitor many patients simultaneously which requires clear sight lines, good lighting, and a high level of automation. A more humane hospital design would also require more staff at a time when we already have a severe shortage. Where would the funding come from? |
