Anonymized Staff Simulation and NEA Dataset for Modular Hospital Spatial Adequacy Analysis

This dataset supports the study entitled “Evaluating Scenario-Specific Net Effective Area Thresholds for Key Clinical Spaces in Modular Hospitals Using Staff-Based Clinical Simulations.” The dataset contains two Excel files used to estimate scenario-specific net effective area (NEA) thresholds for key clinical spaces in modular field hospitals.

The first file, analysis_final.xlsx, provides the analysis-ready long-format dataset. Each row represents one matched observation linking a respondent, case, session, segment, scenario, room type, NEA value, and staff-rated spatial adequacy score. This file was used for Spearman’s rank correlation, isotonic regression, plateau-onset threshold estimation, and participant-level cluster bootstrapping.

The second file, NEA Calculation.xlsx, provides the NEA calculation data used to derive room-level net effective area values. It includes case, session, segment, space, scenario, total footprint, furniture area, bed footprint, number of beds, medical equipment footprint, and calculated NEA values. The equipment footprint variables include items such as IV poles, mobile patient monitors, patient transport carts, nurse carts, emergency carts, defibrillators, wheelchairs, waiting chairs, sinks, desks, and beds.

Together, these files enable verification of the NEA derivation process and the matched analysis dataset used to evaluate the relationship between spatial capacity and staff-perceived spatial adequacy under routine and emergency/surge conditions. The dataset is shared for research transparency and reproducibility. Any personally identifiable information and project-sensitive raw materials, such as original drawings, photographs, videos, and detailed clinical simulation records, are not included.
