Healthcare Facility Design A Guide to Conducting Healthcare Facility Visits This research report, by an environmental psychologist, details how to conduct a straightforward, brief, and thorough healthcare facility visit. Healthcare executives and design professionals alike will benefit from the author's proposed scenarios for successful client-designer collaboration. The report presents useful techniques for rapid facility evaluation, as well as helpful suggestions for preparation and follow-up of field research.
A one-stop source for the essential information architects need to fast-start the design process. Chapters are written by leading architects from across the U.S.: Richard L. Kobus, Ronald L. Skaggs, Michael Bobrow and Julia Thomas, and Thomas M. Payette. Types of facilities covered include clinics, emergency departments, and other ambulatory care units; ancillary departments and specialty centers; and places designed for adaptive reuse or the assimilation of future technologies.
This book will be invaluable for those programming, planning, and designing new or renovated mental health facilities. It covers projects that serve a patient population generally considered to have mental rather than physical conditions needing care and treatment. It provides basic information for all facility types followed by sections on specific variations, including psychiatric hospitals; mental retardation and developmentally disabled, alcoholism and drug abuse, community-based treatment, and respite care facilities; and mental health clinics.
A showcase of innovative solutions that show how design details can offer patients greater comfort and independence while also giving healthcare facilities a competitive edge. Contains almost 200 images of healthcare environments and product ideas in lighting, acoustics, color, furnishings, and finishes. Also includes findings from the cutting edge of design research, some published for the first time in this book.
Presents biomedical, environmental, physical, and basic sciences research laboratory programming, planning, and design criteria based upon the author‰s many years of experience in master planning and programming. Design Evaluation of Six Primary Care Facilities for the Purpose of informing Future Design Decisions All those who strive to create environments supportive of the human potential -- environments that directly and measurably improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare -- have often sought out that which has been executed previously to build a strong foundation for the future. The Center for Health Design's research Initiative represents an answer to this urgent need. This report presents the findings of a comprehensive comparison of post-occupancy evaluations of six primary care facilities. It details the methodology, format and findings of this project, and can be used to create better informed and more effective primary care environments.
A planning guide for administrators, architects, and planners, this book focuses on principles useful in building freestanding ambulatory care facilities that respond to the functional and economic needs of owners and users as well as the needs of patients.
This book offers practical information on design and behavioral issues that can be applied to renovation and small-scale changes, as well as new construction. It details a humanistic approach to designing facility spaces (waiting rooms, patient rooms, courtyards, emergency rooms, etc.). The book addresses design issues from the point of view of patients and visitors, bringing a new perspective to the design process. It is divided into three sections focusing on research, design, and user needs. Design guidelines provides suggestions on facility design with detailed information about the issue being discussed; research boxes highlight relevant research findings and give examples of the potential role of such design; design review questions serve as a quick checklist for evaluating health facilities during both pre-design and post occupancy stages.
This book contains all the current rules and regulations published by the US Public Health Service for the design, construction or alteration of federal facilities and private sector facilities that receive federal assistance. This edition reflects the work of advisory groups from the private, state, and federal sectors who supplied expertise in design, operation and construction of health facilities. Individuals from these groups reviewed the 1987 edition of Guidelines line by line, revising details to accommodate current health care procedures concern for providing a desirable patient environment at a reasonable cost. Healing Environments DaVinci called it "arte/scienza," the blending of the arts and sciences, which to him were indivisible. Hippocrates referred to the healing art of medicine as the noblest of all the arts. This book is the unique blend that addressses the personal, emotional, mental, and spiritual sides of both design and mediciane, which is often overlooked by healthcare and design professionals. It addresses human sensitivities and current healthcare philosophies, which are funcational and practical as well as beautiful and desperately needed as an antidote to our stressful environments.

This book outlines the design development of McMaster University Health Sciences Center, which was called obsolescence-proof by the World Hospital Conference. This 1.76 million sq. ft. facility was the first integrated patient care, education and research complex to incorporate interstitial space with an incremental mechanical system.
This book focuses on the rise and emise of the modern megahospital of the 1950s and 60s and the turn toward community-based healthcare centers, hospitals, and clinics that we are now seeing. Each chapter surveys changing attitudes in healthcare and the parallel changes effected in architecture.
This book features many exemplary healthcare facilities and the links that have been made between research and the healing environment.
As massive changes in healthcare financing and delivery sweep the industry, the question of how to create facilities that address market considerations, satisfy government regulations, and accommodate patient needs is setting the agenda for today's health care design professional. This book is the first comprehensive source of the basic information and resources necessary to plan, design, and furnish efficient physical environments that facilitate quality healthcare delivery.

Health Facilities Review, 1992-93 This volume is the fourth to feature the jury-selected winners of the AIA health facilities deign competition. Newly designed, the book attractively presents 67 projects in words and pictures. The jury awarded ten citations, and their comments about these projects are included. Photographs, drawings, and plans amplify the architects description of the programmed design response to each program and design response for each project. Most numerous among the 1992 winners are hospitals, cancer centers, and outpatient facilities. Also included are emergency care, intensive care, mental health rehabilitation, and sports medicine facilities; health care centers; pediatric facilities; and a number of women's health facilities.
