And I'm not going to go into the detail, but the analysis here has to do with looking at kind of outcomes, specifically those related to length of stay around light and sound as attributes in patient care. And also then looking at this across a variety of diversity of populations. If you look at the population of the Kaiser Permanente healthcare, they have to have 47 different languages to address the patient care within their hospital system. The second piece of this project is an intervention where we're actually doing an intervention to a space and looking at the psychological response to certain kinds of changes in relationship to light and sound in a space and actually taking EKG and other kinds of cortical measurements and so forth to look at this to and again both of these, both of these pieces are intended to be for the purpose of producing evidence. And then the third piece of the project is basically the model itself, of trying to come forward and says this is a model through which research can be done in a collaborative setting between a research community, a client, and also then the profession itself. The second project that I'll talk about has to do with something that I've been working on for several years called Building Stories. It came out of the case study work earlier with AIA but it’s research project I entitled Building Stories Knowledge Production in the Wild and, again, it's one of these collaborative projects between the profession and the academic community that is trying to actually look at active cases in relationship to projects that are going on in offices and this came about because one way of looking at research is to look for new knowledge. Okay? And there’s a process that leads you to new knowledge. My hypothesis was that there’s already a lot of knowledge that actually exists in the profession. And that we ought to have a mechanism for actually capturing that knowledge as opposed to just letting it evaporate project by project and so the process of Building Stories was connected to that. We now have about 30, what I call stories. They're not comprehensive cases. |
