Healthcare is an evolving specialty in interior design. Space Planning for Healthcare Design examines traditional and emerging clinical health settings and focuses on a holistic approach to designing a hospital experience for different users, including patients, healthcare staff, and caregivers, through unique space planning requirements.

Spread over thirteen chapters, this book discusses specific areas common to hospitals, clinics, and outpatient facilities. Chapters include learning objectives which mirror the chapter’s organisation for easy identification of an area of interest. Key terms are bolded in the text and listed and defined at the end of each chapter as a study tool, along with summaries and case studies from industry examples that highlight an evidence-based design process. Additionally, tables, charts, graphs, floor plans, and images are used throughout to support concepts and ideas in the written text.
