January 2006 New Book Based on The Center's Work Improving Healthcare With Better Building Design 
The forecast of annual capital spending on healthcare facilities rising from $15 billion today to $25 billion in the year 2010 makes the topic of a "better building" important and timely. The need for new healthcare facilities offers a rare opportunity for management to learn about and use the emerging science of evidence-based design to build better hospitals with healing environments that improve patient care and staff loyalty, medical outcomes, safety, institutional productivity, and financial performance while decreasing medical errors and waste. The increase in capital spending on healthcare facilities means that many healthcare executives will be asked to do something that most of them have not done before and are unlikely to do again. They will be responsible for capital expenditures often in the hundreds of millions of dollars and are looking for information on how to achieve the best value for their money. This book provides them with a knowledge base to begin the process. Based on the work of The Center for Health Design, which has been documenting and promoting evidence-based design since 1988, this book is written by a group of healthcare and design experts who are leading the movement to improve the quality of healthcare with better building design.
