information Health care facilities are unique
and have clearly defined characteristics based on
the needs of the facility or population being
served. Poor design may lead to staff, visitor,
or patient stress. In large facilities, inability
to find a department may lead to frustrations and
disorientation for older patients. Poor layout
may also lead to staff inefficiencies or fines
because of failure to meet regulatory
requirements.
