Main description:

Hospitals have used different Lean elements in their design process, each with varying results. As the face of healthcare has started to reshape, so should the design process. This book provides a transformational roadmap to the hospital design process. The author builds his case for a sustainable approach to design called the Integrated Healthcare Design 2.0. IHD places equal emphasis on an integrated team, standard Lean design process and a way to understand how the design will impact the move-in operating budget. The reader will learn how IHD 2.0 is beginning to re-shape the conversation around hospital design and how it might be used in their current or future design projects.
