The growing movement towards evidence-based healthcare design has
largely emphasised a change of culture and attitudes. It has
advocated for new ways of working, but until now, it has not
focused on equipping healthcare clients and their designers with
the practical means to exploit the potential benefits from
evidence-based architectural design. Development of indicators and
tools that aid designers and users of the built environments in
thinking about quality enhances the design process to achieve
better outcomes. Importantly, design tools can support managers and
designers through end-user involvement and an increased
understanding of what patients and staff expect from their
healthcare facilities. They can facilitate the creation of
patient-centred environments which improve user satisfaction.
Design Tools for Evidence-Based Healthcare Design: Discusses the
tools that are being used to achieve, design quality and excellence
within the context of NHS procurement systems such as PFI,
Procure21 and others. Collates information that increases our
understanding of these tools, in order to be able to make the best
use of them Clarifies where, during the various stages of a
building's life (from inception, design, construction, occupation
and re-use), these tools should be used in order to derive the
benefits possible from evidence-based design Provides in one place
an authoritative reference publication that will act as a memory, a
user guide and manual for these design tools Illustrated with case
studies from throughout the UK and written by a well-known expert
in the field, this book will provide essential reading for anyone
involved in healthcare design.
