Changes in \u003cbr\u003ehealthcare, the impact of evidence-based medicine and aspects of \u003cbr\u003ehealthcare economics (such as the clustering of diagnostic procedures in\u003cbr\u003e specialized clinics) pose new and different challenges for the \u003cbr\u003edesigner. Private healthcare facilities herald the paradigm change from \u003cbr\u003ethe large functional building complex to a design-conscious health \u003cbr\u003einstitution with luxury hotel features. Health centers more devoted to \u003cbr\u003eprevention rather than cure have been another important trend. This \u003cbr\u003epublication explains the principles and requirements for the planning of\u003cbr\u003e hospitals and other health facilities. An international case study \u003cbr\u003esection documents 40 best-practice projects in six categories: general \u003cbr\u003ehospitals, children's hospitals, specialized clinics, outpatient clinics\u003cbr\u003e and health centers as well as rehabilitation clinics. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith contributions by Dr. Colette Niemeijer, Guru Manja, Prof. Dr. Tom Guthknecht, Prof. Peter Luscuere \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eValuable source of information for hospital administrators as clients \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInnovative and future-oriented concepts and designs \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cor Wagenaar,Noor Mens,Guru Manja\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3038214752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038214755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Birkhauser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.90h x 9.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Cor Wagenaar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50663680770303,"sku":"9783038214755","price":68.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hospitals-cor-wagenaar-9783038214755","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
