RAD Consultants evaluate and test existing and newly proposed products intended for use as interior building materials, furniture products and technology-related solutions. Our participation as an independent research entity provides credible data and outcomes for manufacturers to use internally or share in the marketplace. Evaluation and testing is typically performed in a controlled environment, such as a lab, and/or within an applied environment, such as a facility. Topics for independent product evaluation or testing may include – but are not limited to – design, performance, functionality, maintainability, safety, and cleanability.
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.
