The agent-based simulation was conducted to model nurses' walking trails, and the distance of one nurse travel to assigned patient rooms was measured for each nurse. With revisions in the spatial arrangement of patient rooms, locating multibed rooms near the nurse station, symmetric room layout centering the nurse station, and planning both single/double-bed and multi-bed rooms on one side of corridors, nurse travel distance decreased more than 15%. In the racetrack type units where single/double-bed and multi-bed rooms are located on the opposite sides of the floor (with the service core in the middle), nurses have to travel along both sides to care assigned patients. Among Korean inpatient unit case studies, Shin and Kang (2016) assessed nurse walking distances using traditional point-to-point linear measurement based on field interviews of nurses' patient room assignments.	./cache/cord-269099-q5nyzlhs.txt	./txt/cord-269099-q5nyzlhs.txt
