The newest trend in the hospital construction boom. Dr. Wes with his take:
For it is the woo, not “evidence-based” design, with its attractive architecture, pleasant lighting, etc., that patients demand – and hospitals, after all, are entering a period of unprecedented competition between centers to attract well-to-do patients with money (and insurance). In this era of declining revenue, and increasingly savvy patients who can check out “hospital quality” on-line – it’s build or die.
