Abstract

Examines the concept of patient-focused care and patient-focused hospitals. Claims made in support of patient-focused care, including estimated financial advantages of a patient-focused hospital design model, are examined.

Document History

Archived publications are still available but should be used in the context that practice may have moved on or new technology emerged since their production. Some of these documents may not have been superseded or replaced due to their content not being healthcare specific. Documents marked historic are relevant to the time they were produced, such as case studies and may not be updated or superseded in the future. The Health Facilities Notes (HFN) series has been discontinued. Individual titles have been subsumed under their relevant sections in the NHS catalogue but existing HFN numbers are still noted. HFNs will continue to be listed under this series name in TCIS.
