Investigation of the Effects of the Built Environment on Patient Health Outcomes and Staff Satisfaction
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerMedical professionals claim that improvements to the built environment of health facilities have positive effects on patient health outcomes and staff satisfaction. Despite extensive research, inadequate empirical evidence exists to support the benefit of renovation. The Department of Human Services, Victoria, Australia, needs assurance that investment in facility improvement is worthwhile.

A framework was established for follow-up studies to be performed in renovated facilities.
