Testing and Test Results
Introduction
The interior of the emergency medical office was part of the larger design and was supposed to be designed in ways to make patients feel calm, while also accommodating the needs of the staff. This was tested in two separate ways. First, a survey was given to students and teachers to evaluate the waiting room. Second, the boards and model were taken to 3 medical offices in the area to get opinions from professionals on all 3 rooms designed.
Test Procedures
1. Make surveys to hand out to students and teachers
2. Make surveys to bring to medical professionals
3. Set-up survey table in building 303 near the main doors
4. Bring surveys to medical offices
5. Tally and average scores
Testing Stages
1. Print 30 surveys to put on the table with the presentation board (See survey below)

Testing Results
The following data are results from the survey given to students and teachers. Because the sample was a convenience sample, there was a large voluntary response bias. This could mean that the surveys do not actually represent the population of students and teachers as a whole. The first column tells the persons gender, the second tells their age group, and the following columns are the answers to questions 1-6 (Q1, Q2, Q3, etc.). The last column is the average for all the questions.

This could mean that the surveys do not actually represent the population of students and teachers as a whole. The first column tells the persons gender, the second tells their age group, and the following columns are the answers to questions 1-6 (Q1, Q2, Q3, etc.). The last column is the average for all the questions.
The table below is the survey given to the medical professionals. Because such a small number of people were surveyed (due to time constraints of the workers), there is a risk of undercoverage. Each column (Q1-Q10) contains the peoples’ survey answers. The average is in the last row, highlighted in yellow.
Conclusion
There were two surveys given out. The first survey was given to students and teachers with questions about the waiting room. The question with the lowest score was for question number 5 (The television is appropriately placed for viewing, 7.33) and the question with the highest score was question number two (The colors and theme of the waiting room are calming, 8.59). The second survey was given to medical professionals about all of the interior rooms designed. The lowest score was for question number 6 (The office has sufficient room to accommodate all your needs, 5.77) and the highest score was for question number 8 (The interior of the conference room is aesthetically pleasing, 8.69).
