Product Description

The design of the health care physical environment, including equipment, furnishings, wayfinding, safety, and security, has a major impact on health care access and the provision of care. For this reason, designers, architects, engineers, general contractors, and subcontractors must collaborate with health care organizations to find physical environment solutions that maximize inclusivity and deliver safe, high-quality care for all patients.

Since this book was last co-published in partnership with The American Institute of Architects–Academy of Architecture for Health (AIA/AAH), Planning, Design, and Construction of Health Care Facilities has been updated to address the following key topics:

• The evolving need for health care facility design to address and accommodate diverse patient populations and to ensure equity
• Top trends in health care facility design since the COVID-19 pandemic, including new and updated information on the role of design in infection prevention and control, workplace violence, and environmental sustainability
• The most current Joint Commission, Joint Commission International (JCI), and Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) requirements related to planning, design, and construction of health care facilities
• The latest recommendations and best practices on process improvement, risk assessment, and commissioning for successful new construction and renovation projects 
• Many brand-new case studies that exemplify concepts in health care design, including health care equity, staff well-being, flexible spaces, specialty design, resiliency, and sustainability

Audience:

Relevant for all types of health care facility settings throughout the world. Useful for health care architects, designers, and planners as well as health care leaders, administrators, facilities directors, and compliance and accreditation professionals. Also valuable for students.
