Good design can alsocontribute to productivity and quality of the work experience for the staff. 'Design for Critical Care' presents a thorough and insightful guide to the very best practicein intensive care design, focusing on design that has been successful and benefi cial to bothhospital staff and hospital patients. By making the connection between research evidence anddesign practice, Hamilton and Shepley present an holistic approach that outlines the future forsuccessful design for critical care settings.
