Synopsis:
Planning and executing a health care facility's new or improved design establishes the basis for safe and effective care within that structure's walls. Like any construction or renovation process, this process requires planning, resources, education, communication, and collaboration, but when patient and worker safety are at risk, the stakes are even higher.

This expanded guide offers you a wealth of strategies, tools, and real-world experiences from organizations around the globe, supplying you with the building blocks you need for sustained success with your new facility or existing structure. In this new edition, you receive access to valuable online resources that support and enhance the printed material, including examples of tools that can adapt in your organization.
