Current WORK
My work is currently supported by grant funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (R01, R18), the National Institutes for Health (R01), the US Department of Veteran Affairs and multiple private foundations. I aim to redesign healthcare delivery at three scales: the actually hospital building, regional networks of hospitals and finally neighborhoods. At each scale, I apply design principles and evaluate them quantitatively with the tools of health services research.
Redesigning Network Delivery of Healthcare
As the trend toward hospital mergers and consolidations continues, newly forming health care networks need to take advantage of their accumulated assets by implementing a redesign of service lines and process of care. This is both a design and health services research challenge.

Health in All Design
What if everything we build & design was done with Health as a Priority? Much like policy makers adopted, “Health in All Policies” , what if architecture, planning and design communities systematically committed to “Health in All Design?” Although my work in architecture traditionally focused on healthcare facilities, clients are increasingly asking, “how can we make schools, stadiums, officer spaces, and housing healthier?” Follow the full Tweetorial outlined here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/health-all-design-andrew-m-ibrahim-md-msc/

Becoming Anti-Racist
It is impossible to work on “Redesigning Healthcare” and “Health in All Design” without the lens and context of Race. Inspired by the work of Dr. Kendi, the figure on the left reflects my journey toward becoming Anti-Racist. Feel free to use, copy and share. I hope that the journey informs the rest of your design and health work.
A high-resolution PDF of the figure can be downloaded here.
