RAD Consultants conducts facility performance evaluations that analyze the return on investment outcome. For instance, if your facility was designed to save energy costs or retain staff or reduce safety-related incidents, RAD Consultants evaluate the outcomes and then monetizes the variables to determine the costs or cost avoidance, formulating the ROI. Understanding the connection between the physical environment and the projected outcomes creates the opportunity for smart design for future spaces and facilities.
In this significantly revised second edition, Cynthia Leibrock and Debra Harris offer up-to-date information on design details that can improve patient outcomes and user experience by returning authority to the patient, along with fascinating case studies and research demonstrating the positive role design can play in reducing health care costs.
