DEEP SCOPE: a framework for safe healthcare design.
Taylor E, Hignett S. DEEP SCOPE: a framework for safe healthcare design. Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2021;18(15):7780. doi:10.3390/ijerph18157780.
Informed environmental features, such as the built environment, can improve safety outcomes. The authors propose a theoretic model and matrix (DEEP SCOPE; DEsigning with Ergonomic Principles – Safety as Complexity of the Organization, People, and Environment) intended to synthesize design interventions into a systems-based model using the principles of human factors and ergonomics.
