Healthcare Facility Design Book from C.H.I.P.S.

Medical and Dental Space Planning
A Comprehensive Guide to Design, Equipment,
and Clinical Procedures
Third Edition
by Jain Malkin

Medical and Dental Space Planning is an indispensable guide to the myriad of details that make a medical or dental practice efficient and productive. The unique needs of more than thirty specialties, as well as primary care, are explained in the context of new technology and the many recent regulatory and compliance issues influencing design. Concepts are also presented for sports medicine facilities, ambulatory surgical centers, endoscopy suites, radiation oncology, diagnostic imaging, clinical labs, breast care centers, and large clinics.

The information in this book is organized to make it easy to use and practical. Program tables accompany each medical and dental specialty to help the designer compute the number and size of required rooms and total square footage for each practice. This handy reference can be used during interviews for a "reality check" on a client’s program or during space planning.

An "inside look" at what goes on in each specialist’s office will familiarize readers with medical and dental procedures, how they are executed, and the types of equipment used. Technology has radically altered medical and dental practice: digital radiography, electronic medical records, and digital diagnostic instrumentation all have major implications for facility design.

Illustrated with more than 580 photographs and drawings, Medical and Dental Space Planning, Third Edition is an essential tool for interior designers and architects, as well as practice management consultants, physicians, and dentists.
