The term Man, and the humanist tradition which followed from it, have been challenged in feminist, queer, poststructuralist, and postcolonial critiques, which questioned its nature, or even pondered if we are actually human. What we seek in this issue of Footprint is to add to these perspectives cases of what we call radical conditioning, in which some architectures bypass assumed values of humanism and operate under a wholly different set of values, emanating from industrial and post-industrial economies and its technological developments. These architectures dictate the creation of spaces in which the human body has to operate, and to which it needs to adapt in order to survive. The research articles and visual essays included in this issue shed light on the many ways architects, advertently or inadvertently, coalesce with forces intending to condition humans. Unfolding in the study of histories, architectural types, aesthetics, atmospheres, systems, and users, authors propose inquiries along two main directions: the first trajectory highlights the prolific use in spatial design of concepts borrowed from cybernetics and information technology for the conditioning of human behavior through the built environment; the second deals with architecture conditioning the creation of new subjectivities, placing the body as the territory of intervention. Understanding these spaces, in which humans and their artifacts interact in unprecedented ways, could provide architecture with the timely opportunity to challenge our anticipated redundancy, and reconsider its own humanism in order to charge it with new meanings.

Background: Emergency department (ED) patients often fail to follow‐up with referrals to outpatient clinics and physicians. Objective: To compare the effects of 2 ED discharge instructional methods on outpatient follow‐up compliance and to evaluate sociodemographic characteristics as possible factors affecting outpatient follow‐up compliance. Design and Participants: Randomized trial of ED patients. At discharge, the intervention group had their follow‐up appointment made and the standard group was given our hospital's referral service phone number to make their own follow‐up appointment. Measurements: Outpatient clinics were called 1 month after each subject's ED discharge to ascertain if they followed‐up. Poisson regression was used to examine the effects of sociodemographic factors on follow‐up compliance. RESULTS: Of 287 eligible subjects, 250 (87%) agreed to participate. Follow‐up rates were 59% for the intervention group and 37% for the standard group (P<.001). Having a primary care physicians appeared to increase ED patients' outpatient follow‐up compliance and having Medicaid insurance appeared to decrease outpatient follow‐up compliance, but neither of these findings was statistically significant. Conclusions: In our ED, patients who have their outpatient follow‐up appointment made at discharge have a significantly greater probability of follow‐up compliance compared with patients given standard discharge instructions. Most sociodemographic characteristics do not affect our ED patients' follow‐up compliance.

Emergency department (ED) patients often fail to follow‐up with referrals to outpatient clinics and physicians. We conducted a randomized trial of 250 emergency department patients to compare discharge instructional methods on outpatient referral follow‐up compliance within one month. We also evaluated several patient sociodemographic characteristics as possible factors affecting outpatient follow‐up compliance. The intervention group had their follow‐up appointment made at the time of ED discharge. The standard group was given the telephone number of our hospital's referral service to make their own appointment with their primary care provider or a new referral physician at discharge. Follow‐up rates were 58.8% for the intervention group and 36.6% for the standard group. With multivariate analysis of the sociodemographic factors, having a primary care physician appeared to increase emergency department patients' outpatient follow‐up compliance and having Medicaid insurance appeared to decrease outpatient follow‐up compliance, but neither of these findings was statistically significant.

In that moment, I wondered if my family and I should stay for the remainder of the play or head home, aware of the uncertainty of what lay ahead and what risk all health care professionals take to provide patient care. Addressing Supply Chain Challenges, Helping Smaller Hospitals In the pandemic’s first wave, our health system’s concern, like many other health care organizations, was having an adequate supply chain to provide personal protective equipment. IU Health is part of AHA’s Living Learning Network (LLN), a peer-to-peer community of health care professionals dedicated to helping hospitals and health systems recover, rebuild and reimagine health care.
