In the first of two IFHE articles this month, an Associate Professor at Florida International University in Miami discusses the growing international use and acceptance of ‘offsite’ in the construction of healthcare facilities.
29 CULTURAL DIVERSITY IN HEALTHCARE DESIGN Burkhard Musselmann, managing principal and healthcare architect at the UK office of architectural practice, Stantec, and Brenda Bush-Moline, an ASHE member who is healthcare design lead and senior principal at the firm’s Chicago office, discuss the need to consider cultural diversity in the healthcare design process, and suggest ways in which this can be achieved.
35 MAKING ESTATES MORE COMMERCIAL AND SUSTAINABLE
The national head of Healthcare at independent construction, property, and management consultancy, Rider Levett Bucknall, says that despite the Wave Four funding offered last December to NHS Trusts, ‘we are now in an era where there is less real healthcare capital expenditure in the UK’. He believes the clear tenet for all healthcare providers looking ahead will thus be ‘increasing self-reliance for project capital’.

60 TRACKING TEMPERATURES USING ‘CLOUD’ TECHNOLOGY The ‘evolution’ of water temperature monitoring systems, and how one company is harnessing Internet of Things technology with a product that it says enables healthcare estates teams to accurately and automatically keep track of temperatures in hospital water systems, cutting out laborious sampling, with the potential to save considerable sums.
65 IMAGINATIVE THINKING TO ‘FUTUREPROOF’ BUILDINGS
With a particular focus on washroom technology – ‘from handwashing to basin design’, Ideal Standard’s Senior Sector marketing manager, Tony Rheinberg, explores the theme, ‘How can we anticipate the issues of the future, and design for them?’ He argues that, even where capital is scarce, investment in up-to-date technology will pay dividends long term.
