Abstract:

Background: Health care settings are generally regarded as stress inducing environments. Stress can alter the immune response, impair wound healing and create a greater risk for asthma, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorder and myocardial infarction. Beginning in the 1980s and 1990s, there has been increasing interest in healing environments and evidence-based design concepts. Yet, there has been little progress developing healing environments and using evidence-based design for psychiatric inpatient units, a uniquely stressful environment. Psychiatric units today continue to use designs such as

Abstract:

Day care surgical services have been marketed as a cost saving alternative for inpatient care. There is evidence that the cost per episode of day care surgery is 50-70 percent less than a comparable episode in an inpatient ward. In addition, avoiding hospitalization has particular relevance for paediatrics, because of the undesirable effects of hospital stay on children. However, both cost savings and the quality-based need to decrease hospitalizations of children will be fullfilled only if each patient cared for in a day care surgery unit would otherwise have been an inpatient and the bed vac

The use of computed tomography (CT) in the care of patients has grown dramatically since its introduction over 30 years ago.

This has left much of the inpatient use and variation understudied. This study has multiple aims. The first is to characterize the inpatient variation across multiple states and markets. The second is to evaluate the relationship between inpatient CT use and commercial payers across these areas. The third is to develop

Abstract:

As cited in literature, the history of hospital design in both practice and theory is rife with proposals that lay claim to improving efficiency.
