摘要: Spatial design influences organizational productivity of healthcare by affecting how providers use the space. Current models are not very relevant for space layout and planning because they represent spatial variables through simplistic measures such as path distances number physical resources. Adding syntactic to these would derive effects alternative layouts better in more realistic ways. This article presents a generalized linear model that predicts effect different hospital units on nurses' movement patterns. Results from show properties nurse's assignment have predictable impact frequency trips he or she makes patient rooms during shift. The is shown explanatory power can be used predict patterns nurses roughly similar size process.
