Publisher's Synopsis
"A health care facility's new or improved design establishes the basis for safe and effective care within that structure. Designing and executing a construction or renovation project requires resources, education, communication, and collaboration throughout the process. When patient and worker safety are at risk, the stakes for a successful project are even higher. This third edition of Planning, Design, and Construction of Health Care Facilities--developed in conjunction with the American Institute of Architects Academy of Architecture for Health (AIA-AAH)--presents a comprehensive guide for health care organizations around the world looking to build new facilities or update current structures"--.
