From the parking lot to the exam room, doctors can improve the
physical surroundings for their patients, yet often they do not.
Given the numerous and varied duties doctors must perform, it may
fall to the design profession to implement changes, many based on
research, to improve healthcare experiences. From location and
layout to furnishings and positive distractions, this book provides
evidence-based information about the physical environment to help
doctors and those who design medical workspaces improve the
experience of health care. Along with its research base, a special
aspect of this book is the integration of relevant historical
material about the office practice of physicians at the beginning
of the twentieth century. Many of their design solutions are viable
today. In addition to improving the physical design of healthcare
facilities, author Ann Sloan Devlin is the granddaughter, daughter,
and niece of physicians, as well as the granddaughter and daughter
of nurses. She worked in a hospital during college, and has visited
a good many practitioners' offices in medical office buildings and
ambulatory care settings. This book addresses an overlooked
location of care: the doctor's office suite.
