Interprofessional user groups and the design of healthcare facilities

(2021) Interprofessional user groups and the design of healthcare facilities. Professional Doctorate thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

The Australian and New Zealand healthcare sectors deliver vital services to their communities. Buildings that support healthcare delivery are often complex, complicated and expensive. Designers, clinicians and managers must work together collaboratively to design publicly funded healthcare facilities that are fit for purpose and responsive to their location and environment. This research investigated the “user group” process required by government health authorities including ways it could be improved. Understanding the differing perspectives of participants may support more effective teamwork and better decision-making. The findings form the basis for the development of evidence-based guidelines for the collaborative design of healthcare facilities.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
