商品簡介
Levine and Burns present a collection of essays examining the changes and challenges to hospital construction and other capital investment projects after the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The authors are leaders in healthcare, healthcare facilities design and construction, technology and medical technology. They are concerned with the effects, largely financial, of major shifts such as an increase in insured patients, decrease in reimbursement, consolidation of healthcare systems, and changes from ICU to hospice care, sick-care to well-care, and fee-for service to payment-for-performance. There is discussion of systems thinking and collaborative project management, the realities of financing capital projects, sustainability, development of ambulatory care facilities, use of RFIDs and low-voltage technology, recommendations for investment in medical equipment, and a model of privatization.
