As healthcare experiences another construction boom, a healthcare architectural firm has identified five design trends that it predicts will grow in the coming year, acccording to the Healthcare Leaders website.
E4H partners see increasingly demanding healthcare consumers affecting these trends. They include:
• Microhospitals that range from 15,000 to 50,000 square feet, with five to 15 inpatient beds for observation and short stays
• Emergency departments (ED) that are configured to include "rapid treatment" areas where patients can be treated without entering the main ED
