Impact of Inpatient Unit Design Features on Overall Patient Experience and Perceived Room-Level Call Button Response
This study explores the relationship between inpatient unit design and patient experience and how spatial features and visibility impact patients' perception of staff responsiveness. The first part of this study is a retrospective pre-post and cross-sectional study evaluating the impacts of unit design on patient experience at the unit level. This study compares patient experiences based on Press Ganey and HCAHPS surveys in two orthopedic units (…
The Quality Movement in U.S. Health Care: Implications for Anthropology
A growing trend in U.S. health care may provide unprecedented opportunity for introducing many of Anthropology's concerns and concepts within the clinical setting. Faced with increasing competition, plus demands from payers and accrediting entities that they prove their quality, hospitals are attempting to apply principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) to improve performance. TQM stresses the systemic (functionally integrated) nature of hospi…

Urban Folk Medicine: A Functional Overview
Social and economic functions of folk illness and folk medicine are fairly well known for rural contexts but still lack codification for urban milieus. In this exploratory paper, folk health practices are examined in terms of their response to urban socioeconomic characteristics. Such practices appear to serve functions of acculturation, guilt displacement resulting from failure to achieve, and subgroup identity maintenance, among others. Folk pr…

The Urban Curandero1
Accounts of the curandero in Latin America indicate reliance upon a largely peasant-derived sterotype. The utility of such stereotypes for understanding curanderismo in an urban context is questioned. With Bogota, Colombia as an example, it is proposed that the concept of an "urban curing complex"-a holistic approach to curative facilities in the city-replace present over-reliance upon one model (peasant) of curer style and healing

Ambiguity and Innovation: Implications for the Genesis of the Culture Broker1
Essential to the function of an innovator-particularly a group-straddling one such as a "marginal man" or "culture broker"-is the manner in which others view him and the genesis of his mandate to innovate. An account of the genesis of a culture broker in a Yucatan peasant community suggests that ambiguity during the development of the innovator role may allow novel behavior while retarding negative sanction. The case described may help us underst…
