Transforming Hospitals: Designing for Safety and Quality

"Transforming Hospitals: Designing for Safety and Quality" is a brief 13-minute overview of best practices for evidence-based hospital design (EBD). It explains the rationale for creating hospital settings that draw upon the best available evidence concerning how the physical environment of a healthcare facility can measurably improve patient outcomes and patient and staff safety and satisfaction. The business case, infection control, patient transfers, lighting, noise, and worker safety are some of the issues touched upon.
