The planning and design of healthcare facilities has evolved over
the previous decades from "function follows design" to "design
follows function." Facilities stressed the functions of healthcare
providers but patient experience was not fully considered. The
design process has now crucially evolved, and currently, the
impression a hospital conveys to its patients and community is the
primary concern. The facilities must be welcoming, comfortable, and
exude a commitment to patient well-being. Rapid changes and
burgeoning technologies are now major considerations in facility
design. Without flexibility, hospitals face quicker obsolescence if
designs are not forward-thinking. Planning and Designing Healthcare
Facilities: A Lean, Innovative, and Evidence-Based Approach
explores recent developments in hospital design. Medical facilities
have been adapted to the requirements of clinical functions.
Recently, the needs of patients and clinical pathways have been
recognized. With the patient at the center of the process, the flow
of tasks becomes the guiding principle as hospital design must
employ evidence-based thinking, and process management methods such
as Lean become central. The authors explain new concepts to reduce
healthcare delivery cost, but keep quality the primary
consideration. Concepts such as sustainability (i.e., Green
Hospitals) and the use of new tools and technologies, such as
information and communication technology (ICT), Lean, and
evidence-based planning and innovations are fully explained.
