When designing a critical care unit, the demands on the architect or designer are highly specialized. It is also now widely recognized that good design can have a hugely positive impact in terms of the recovery of patients and their hospital experience as a whole. Design for Critical Care presents a thorough and insightful guide to the very best practice in intensive care design, focusing on design that has been proven to be successful and beneficial to both hospital staff and hospital patients. By making the connection between research evidence and design practice, the authors present a practical and technical approach for successful healthcare design.
