Healthcare Design Guide

The process of designing a hospital is complex. This guide summarizes the key phases of design identifying the goals of each phase, expected deliverable and possible tools that can be utilized. ​

​Through this open source design guide primer, we hope to increase the accessibility of healthcare planning and design, providing clarity on the process. More than just an outline of the process, this primer may serve as a launching pad to establish a common foundation for the design team.
