Planning & Designing Health Care Facilities in Developing Countries
Building a clinically integrated workplace with a high level of clinical competence requires careful considerations of Hospital Planning. For greenfield or brownfield hospital projects, clinicians and C-Suite executives need to acquire capabilities to address the planning needs of any organization. This book aims to provide both theoretical and practical inputs for the Planning & Designing of Health Care Facilities in Developing Countries. It clearly indicates the steps to be followed, facts to be weighed, and components to be considered to arrive at a correct planning solution. With health reform looming and the revenue base shifting rapidly, we need to integrate patient safety concerns in the design process. Key Features • Liberal use of tables and figures to support conclusions, illustrate concepts, and display quantitative information, making it easier for readers to understand and refer to large quantities of data • Integrates the international norms for planning and designing health care facilities into the developing country setting • Handbook and ready reckoner for C-Suite executives, hospital engineers, project consultants, and hospital administration students

In God Shall Wipe Away All Tears, author and mother Colleen Curzon Openshaw shares her and her familys true-life experiences with illness and death.From blindness, cancer, Alzheimers and widowhood to happy times, church missions, and...
The Health Impact of Limited Armed Conflict
Armed conflict produces direct effects on combatants and non-combatants by creating casualties of war but the indirect effects are typically less visible and more difficult to measure than battlefield deaths and injuries. Studies in the public health literature and recent publications in the comparative social sciences have investigated the effects of armed conflict on health outcomes with an increasing recognition of this relationship. The majority of studies that investigate these consequences have made comparisons between countries but few examine the effects at a lower resolution. This is an important distinction since many low-intensity conflicts may be limited in geographic extent and ...
Universal Design
As the baby boom generation ages, it is crucial that designers understand all they can about bringing this group, as well as all others, design that will offer function, aesthetics, and quality of life. Full of examples and illustrated with pictures of good design, Universal Design: Principles and Models details how the principles of universal desi
A Single Flash of Light
When Stephanie Gilchrist, a photographer from Santa Barbara, dreams of the same man for twenty-one straight nights, she starts to wonder if this night visitor is real. She doesn't know him, or even recognize him. Yet why does he know her, and why is he able to guide her safely through the turmoil in her life? And what does Perugia Italy have to do with it? After taking some clues from the dreams, she's compelled to find out if the man is real. To her surprise, she discovers that he is, and lives just across town. After secretly watching him from a nearby table at a sidewalk cafe', it only takes her seconds to learn that he's definitley not the man of her dreams. Or is he? Only a vintage bottle of wine will unravel the mystery, and take her back to the one moment they met, years ago, in a violent, single flash of light.
Toward Resilient Communities
In June 2011, the city of Minot, North Dakota sustained the greatest flood in its history. Rather than buckling under the immense weight of the flood on a personal and community level, government, civic groups, and citizens began to immediately assess and address the event’s impacts. Why did the disaster in Minot lead to government and community resilience, whereas during Hurricane Katrina, the non-resilience of the government and community of New Orleans resulted in widespread devastation? This book seeks to answer that question by examining how local government institutions affect pre- and post-disaster community and business resilience. Utilizing both survey methods and interviews, Atki...
Introduction To Engineering Design and Problem Solving
The book is conveniently divided into two major sections. The first, an introduction to engineering, begins with a description and breakdown of the enginering profession. Material concerning most disciplines in engineering is included in this section. Engineering design is also introduced in this section, providing an opportunity to investigate the "essence of engineering" in a holistic manner. The second major section, processing engineering data, includes the essentials required in preparing for any engineering curriculum. It covers, for example, problem-solving procedures(including solving open-ended problems), engineering estimations, dimensions, and units (including both customary and SI units).
