ABSTRACT
Building a clinically integrated workplace with a high level of clinical competence requires careful considerations of Hospital Planning. For greenfield or brownfield hospital projects, clinicians and C-Suite executives need to acquire capabilities to address the planning needs of any organization.
This book aims to provide both theoretical and practical inputs for the Planning & Designing of Health Care Facilities in Developing Countries. It clearly indicates the steps to be followed, facts to be weighed, and components to be considered to arrive at a correct planning solution. With health reform looming and the revenue base shifting rapidly, we need to integrate patient safety concerns in the design process.
