EuHPN Workshop - Stockholm 2010
EuHPN Workshop - Stockholm 2010
The coming years will see ever greater pressure on healthcare infrastructure, as the buildings used by health services across Europe have to respond to rapidly evolving models of care, the financial consequences of global recession, an increasing drive towards a low-carbon economy, greater workforce and patient mobility, and continued public expectation of high quality care. Overall, the message is that healthcare buildings have to deliver for society – by contributing to improved patient outcomes and better population health, by giving health workers high quality working environments, by ensuring best value for money, and by ensuring continued advances in medical knowledge. In the light of these pressures, the 2010 EuHPN workshop asked if we should plan for incremental changes to the health estate or if we should aim to rationalise and build new health facilities. What tools and methodologies are available to help with this decision, and which of them have proved to be successful?
