Read the following 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.
