New Article Published on Radiology Facility
Planning and Design
Bernstein
& Associates, Architects is pleased to announce the publication
of an article on how the concept of universal room design can
address the commonplace problem that decision-making on the
purchase of major medical equipment often lags the schedule for
upfront planning and design of the radiology department or
radiology practice.
The
article has been published in the June 2009 edition of
Hospital Newspaper.
The
article is entitled: “Utilizing Universal Room Design in Fast
Track Healthcare Projects Involving Major Medical Equipment
Purchases”.
The
article discusses the latest trends in radiology design and
radiology planning, including the following issues:
- Why does the architect need the equipment specs for radiology
room design?
- Types of engineering infrastructure involved in a radiology
project
- What happens when radiologists and/or radiology administrators
change their minds about equipment specifications
- How much impact do changes to medical equipment specifications
have on a design and construction project schedule and budget?
- If you do change your mind about a major medical equipment
purchase, when is the best time to do it?
- How can the design of what is called a "universal room"
mitigate to some degree the costs (both financial and in terms
of schedule delay) of equipment changes.
The
article was written by the firm’s principle, a well-known
architect and radiology consultant in radiology department
planning and design, William N. Bernstein, LEED®AP,
AIA. Mr. Bernstein is a graduate of the Yale University School
of Architecture, who has specialized in healthcare design and
