For a variety of reasons, however, many of these organizations are missing out on opportunities to support these desired outcomes through an intentionally designed, data-driven built environment.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In response to this lack of synchronization, IMEG and healthcare data analyst firm linear A recently released the executive guide, \u201cEnhancing the Quadruple Aim through Data-driven Decisions in the Built Environment.\u201d In it, we examine the Quadruple Aim, define the built environment (a holistic term that includes architecture, engineering, acoustics, aesthetics, etc.), and provide concrete examples of how the built environment can support, enhance, and help organizations achieve each goal of the Quadruple Aim.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Some of the strategies provided are obvious, while others are much more subtle. For example:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Energy-efficient LED lighting can enhance the patient experience, support staff satisfaction through better light quality, and improve population health through reduced energy usage and associated pollution<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"0\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Natural elements and the space they occupy, such as a garden in a courtyard, become an extension of the building and the built environment, enhancing the healing and calming aesthetic of the hospital<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By encouraging stakeholders, architects, designers, and builders to buy into a healthcare organization\u2019s vision early and keep the Quadruple Aim in mind at every stage of design and construction, the resulting built environment can effortlessly contribute to positive outcomes inside and outside its walls. Framing design decisions and their impact to the Quadruple Aim allows health systems to truly align their operational and capital strategies in an impactful and meaningful way.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335559740&quot;:300}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Listen to the podcast:<\/em><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none;
