This report is about American studies on hospital architecture, especially about researches on "Acuity Adaptable Room(AAR)" and its actual examples. According to Hill-Rom Co. Inc.'s report, the definition of AAR is as follows: the acuity adaptable room flexes to support the continuity of patient care in a single room. It invites the family into the healing process while reducing the need to transfer patients to other units. Since around 2000, the number of hospitals having AAR is increasing and AAR is marked in USA as a trend of new type of patient room. Originally this type of patient room appeared based on a "Patient Transfer Study" by Methodist Hospital, IN and Hill-Rom Co. Inc. It calculated the total time loss from patient transfers and converted it to a loss in cost index called the "Reasonable Workload Index". From that study, they developped the AAR as a room without the need to transfer patients along their care level. Moreover, the room involves the patients' families as their care givers. This report also shows some examples of AAR as a good future reference for Japan hospitals.
