Current Limitations and Future Design Solutions to Building a Better Operating Room

Current Design Limitation Future Design Solution
Inadequate actionable user input Utilize simulation and staged construction for “hands on” feedback
Narrow outcomes examined that fail to detect differences Include user-centered outcomes that have more variablity
Limited evidence base to inform design Collaberative research combining surgical and architecture expertise
