It is reported that an approximately 98,000 people die each year in the United States as a result of medical errors (IOM, 1999). This is unacceptable in a country that prides itself on the best medical institutions and access to the highest-end technology. It is believed that the need to renew currently standing hospitals is due to a combination of aging buildings, aging populations, and introduction of new technologies (Ulrich, 2004). This has led to a large patient safety movement and the largest hospital construction boom in U.S. history (Jones, 2004).

Prior research regarding facility management (FM) performance has been dominated by measurements associated with cost per unit area. Within healthcare settings, it could be argued that a more true value of performance should be measured by the amount of health outcomes per unit area. To date the most often measured indicators for health outcomes associated with FM have been absence of complaints and patient satisfaction.
