Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shift Clinic design to keep pace with the evolving healthcare industry Modern Clinic Design: Strategies for an Era of Change is a comprehensive guide to optimizing patient experience through the design of the built environment. Written by a team of veteran healthcare interior designers, architects, and engineers, this book addresses the impacts of evolving legislation, changing technologies, and emerging nontraditional clinic models on clinic design, and illustrates effective design strategies for any type of clinic. Readers will find innovative ideas about lean design, design for flexibility, and the use of mock-ups to prototype space plans within a clinic setting, and diagrammed examples including waiting rooms, registration desks, and exam rooms that demonstrate how these ideas are applied to real-world projects. Spurred on by recent healthcare legislation and new technological developments, clinics can now offer a greater variety of services in a greater variety of locations. Designers not only need to know the different requirements for each of these spaces, but also understand how certain design strategies affect the patient's experience in the space. This book explores all aspects of clinic design, and describes how aesthetics and functionality can merge to provide a positive experience for patients, staff, and healthcare providers. Understand how recent industry developments impact facility design Learn how design strategies can help create a positive patient experience Examine emerging clinic models that are becoming increasingly prevalent Analyze the impact of technology on clinic design A well-designed clinic is essential for the well-being of the patients and health care providers that occupy the space every day. The healthcare industry is shifting, and the healthcare design industry must shift with it to continue producing spaces that are relevant to ever-evolving patient and worker needs. For complete guidance toward the role of design, Modern Clinic Design is a thorough, practical reference.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The planning and design of healthcare facilities has evolved over the previous decades from "function follows design" to "design follows function." Facilities stressed the functions of healthcare providers but patient experience was not fully considered. The design process has now crucially evolved, and currently, the impression a hospital conveys to its patients and community is the primary concern. The facilities must be welcoming, comfortable, and exude a commitment to patient well-being. Rapid changes and burgeoning technologies are now major considerations in facility design. Without flexibility, hospitals face quicker obsolescence if designs are not forward-thinking. Planning and Designing Healthcare Facilities: A Lean, Innovative, and Evidence-Based Approach explores recent developments in hospital design. Medical facilities have been adapted to the requirements of clinical functions. Recently, the needs of patients and clinical pathways have been recognized. With the patient at the center of the process, the flow of tasks becomes the guiding principle as hospital design must employ evidence-based thinking, and process management methods such as Lean become central. The authors explain new concepts to reduce healthcare delivery cost, but keep quality the primary consideration. Concepts such as sustainability (i.e., Green Hospitals) and the use of new tools and technologies, such as information and communication technology (ICT), Lean, and evidence-based planning and innovations are fully explained.

Book excerpt: The health care system is undergoing constant and increasingly rapid change, fuelled by digitalised processes, innovations in medicine and medical technology, and social upheavals. Sustainable hospital architecture must be able to keep pace with this constant regeneration. But how can this be achieved when health care buildings – with an average minimum lifespan of 20 years – appear to be an inert mass compared to the rapidly changing health care sector? How can adaptable and flexible structures be created that ensure efficient care even in crisis situations – as we experienced in the pandemic years? Volume 9 of the ‘Health Care of the Future’ series examines this question from very different perspectives: from contributions on the digital future of health care and structural planning for change to reports on visionary, international hospital concepts and research into the robotic construction methods of the future.

Download or read book Healthcare Architecture as Infrastructure written by Stephen H. Kendall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architects and healthcare clients are increasingly coming to recognize that, once built, healthcare facilities are almost immediately subject to physical alterations which both respond to and affect healthcare practices. This calls into question the traditional ways in which these facilities are designed. If functions and practices are subject to alteration, the standard approach of defining required functions and practices before acquiring facilities is obsolete. We need other starting points, working methods, and ways of collaborating. Healthcare Architecture as Infrastructure presents these new approaches. Advocating an infrastructure theory of built environment transformation in which design and investment decisions are organized hierarchically and transcend short-term use, the book draws the practice and research of a number of architects from around the world. Written by experts with experience in policy making, designing, building, and managing complex healthcare environments, it shows professionals in architecture, engineering, healthcare and facilities management how to enhance the long-term usefulness of their campuses and their building stock and how to strengthen their physical assets with the capacity to accommodate a quickly evolving healthcare sector.

Book excerpt: It is now widely recognized that the physical environment has an impact on the physiology, psychology, and sociology of those who experience it. When designing a critical care unit, the demands on the architect or designer working together with the interdisciplinary team of clinicians are highly specialized. Good design can have a hugely positive impact in terms of the recovery of patients and their hospital experience as a whole. Good design can also contribute to productivity and quality of the work experience for the staff. Design for Critical Care presents a thorough and insightful guide to the very best practice in intensive care design, focusing on design that has been successful and beneficial to both hospital staff and hospital patients. By making the connection between research evidence and design practice, D. Kirk Hamilton and Mardelle McCuskey Shepley present an holistic approach that outlines the future for successful design for critical care settings.

This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international debate on the critical factors that result in an increasingly complex approach to the design of hospital facilities aimed at meeting the inevitable objectives of social, economic and environmental sustainability mainly focuses on the topics of flexibility, humanization, the right economic investment, integration between the hospital macro-functions, managerial efficiency, technological and biomedical innovation, the relationship with the city as well as ways of achieving greater economies. For each of these themes attitudes and interpretations are encountered that do not always converge but that certainly stimulate reflection on the decision-making choices that complexify the task of the hospital designers. The UIA/PHG - International Union of Architects/Public Health Group seminars, as previously scheduled on an annual basis, associate the discussion of current topics with the comparison between contributions from operational experience in the field which can provide extremely profitable insights to guide the future decision-making actions of the various categories of operators concerned in the world of healthcare. The numerous and diverse Proceedings produced to date represent an extremely useful source of information not only to document the evolution of the principles and methods used to design the works but also to understand the level of importance attributed to the issues that most frequently drive the members of the PHG to address their resolution. The issues most frequently explored include those related to the impact produced by innovations on the tools and techniques to produce quality designs, the methods for encouraging interaction between those who make the decisions and the new methods of treatment made possible by the biomedical resources. This volume is divided into five chapters that reflect the sequence of sessions of the PHG conference held in Oslo on 22-24 March 2012. The authors, experts in healthcare planning and design at international level, discussed the dominant topics of the current scientific debate, providing critical contributions and knowledge about: Nordic Hospital Projects, Flexibility, International Hospital Projects, Innovative Technologies, and Hospital Planning Evaluations.
