| dc.description | In the UK, the NHS is currently in the middle of the biggest healthcare investment programme in the world (over £20 billion), in partnership with the private sector.Mental health, acute and primary care trusts (PCT) and strategic health authorities (SHA) are all engaged in major change projects to ensure sustainable investment into services and facilities today to meet the needs of the patients of tomorrow.In looking at the future needs for health infrastructure, it is necessary to explore links between system change, technology change, workforce and changes to the design of the physical environment. What is certain is that the healthcare knowledge base needs to be continuously expanded. | |
| dc.description.abstract | AEDET Evolution (the Achieving Excellent Design Evaluation Toolkit) enables its users to undertake a design evaluation through the creation of a design evaluation profile. The Centre for Healthcare Design, its developers in the UK, recommends that healthcare design can be evaluated under three basic headings: Functionality, Excellence and Impact. The staff and patient environment of a healthcare facility can have a significant part to play in creating ‘Impact’.In the UK, there is currently a major investment programme, which represents the largest ever building programme of the National Health Service. This programme represents an opportunity to raise the quality of healthcare design. This paper is concerned with an evaluation of one element – improvements in the quality of healthcare facilities through the impact of appropriate facilities in the staff and patient environment . Keywords: Design evaluation, healthcare design, healthcare investment, quality | |
