HealthCare Leadership: New Resource on Evidence-based Design

HealthCare-Leadership-Blog
HealtlhCare Leadership is a new free website to help you learn about Evidence-based Design (EBD). The URL for the website is: www.healthdesign.org/hcleader

The goal of the website is to "summarize the latest scientific research - also offer practical solutions, action steps and an ROI evaluation framework for healthcare executives who must evaluate and justify investments in new construction and renovation projects."

The site, which is oriented toward the "decision makers", offers a variety of free online tools. For example they have Five "White Papers" on key concepts. These are Acrobat PDF publications which are free for download:

  • The Business Case for Building Better Hospitals Through EBD
  • Culture Change and Facility Design: A Model for Joint Optimization 
  • Implementing Healthcare Excellence: The Vital Role of the CEO in EBD
  • Maximizing the Impact of Nursing Care Quality: A Closer Look at the Hospital Work Environment & the Nurses's Impact on Patient-Quality Care
  • A Review of the Research Literature on Evidence-Based Design

It is the last one; the review of the research literature that really caught my eye. You can download this essential 76-page document for free. This was just published in the journal HERD. If you are serious about understanding EBD and Evidence-based Art, this is required reading.

The HealthCare Leadership website is a collaboration of the Center for Health Design and Georgia Tech. It is funded from a grant by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
