| Abstract: |
Planning for changing types of health professions and a changing clientele necessitates designing flexible facilities. Findings from a recently completed analysis of ambulatory care facilities are directed to planners in the form of 16 memos. Approaches to planning and design considerations are made that attempt to humanize these facilities. Suggestions concern services provided, rehabilitation of existing space, converting found space, options and considerations in a new building, and shared services and facilities. Other factors are identified that improve the environment for ambulatory care for those who render the service and those who benefit by it. (Author/MLF) |
