Description:
Shift Clinic design to keep pace with the evolving healthcare
industry


Modern Clinic Design: Strategies for an Era of Change is
a comprehensive guide to optimizing patient experience through the
design of the built environment. Written by a team of veteran
healthcare interior designers, architects, and engineers, this book
addresses the impacts of evolving legislation, changing
technologies, and emerging nontraditional clinic models on clinic
design, and illustrates effective design strategies for any type of
clinic. Readers will find innovative ideas about lean design,
design for flexibility, and the use of mock-ups to prototype space
plans within a clinic setting, and diagrammed examples including
waiting rooms, registration desks, and exam rooms that demonstrate
how these ideas are applied to real-world projects.


Spurred on by recent healthcare legislation and new
technological developments, clinics can now offer a greater variety
of services in a greater variety of locations. Designers not only
need to know the different requirements for each of these spaces,
but also understand how certain design strategies affect the
patient's experience in the space. This book explores all aspects
of clinic design, and describes how aesthetics and functionality
can merge to provide a positive experience for patients, staff, and
healthcare providers.
