The rapidly growing developments in medicine and science in the last few decades has evoked a greater need for modern institutions, with modern medicine, advanced technologies, and cutting edge research. Today, the modern hospital is a highly competitive, multibillion dollar industry that plays a large role in our healthcare systems. Far different from older institutions, modern hospitals juggle the dynamics of running a business that proves financially fruitful and sustainable, with maintaining and staying ahead of medical developments and offering the best possible patient care. This comprehensive book explores all aspects of the inner workings of a modern hospital, from research and technology driven treatment and patient centered care, to the organizational, functional, architectural, and ergonomic aspects of the business. The text is organized into three parts. The first part covers a number of important aspects of the modern hospital including hospital transformation over the centuries, the new medical world order, overall concept, academic mission and economics of new healthcare. Additionally, experts in the field address issues such as modern design functionally and creating an environment that is ergonomically friendly, technologically advanced, and easy to navigate for both worker and patient. Other topics covered include, the role of genomics and nano-technologies, controversies that come with introducing new technologies, the world-wide pharmaceutical industry, electronic medical health records, informatics, and quality of patient care. Part II addresses nine specific elements of modernization of the hospital that deal with high acuity, life and death situations, and complex medical and surgical diseases. These chapters cover the organization of new emergency departments, trauma room, hybrid operating rooms, intensive care units, radiology, pharmaceutical and nutritional support, and most essential, patient and public relation services. These nine elements reflect the most important and most visible indicators of modernization and transformation of the hospital. Part III examines and highlights the team approach as a crucial component of the transformation, as well as specific perspectives on the modern hospital from nurses, physicians, surgeons and administrators. Finally, a chapter dedicated to patient perspective is also presented. The Modern Hospital provides an all-inclusive review of the hospital industry. It will serve as a valuable resource for administrators, clinicians, surgeons, nurses, and researchers. All chapters will be written by practicing experts in their fields and include the most up-to-date scientific and clinical information.

Rise of the Modern Hospital is a focused examination of hospital design in the United States from the 1870s through the 1940s. This understudied period witnessed profound changes in hospitals as they shifted from last charitable resorts for the sick poor to premier locations of cutting-edge medical treatment for all classes, and from low-rise decentralized facilities to high-rise centralized structures. Jeanne Kisacky reveals the changing role of the hospital within the city, the competing claims of doctors and architects for expertise in hospital design, and the influence of new medical theories and practices on established traditions. She traces the dilemma designers faced between creating an environment that could function as a therapy in and of itself and an environment that was essentially a tool for the facilitation of increasingly technologically assisted medical procedures. Heavily illustrated with floor plans, drawings, and photographs, this book considers the hospital building as both a cultural artifact, revelatory of external medical and social change, and a cultural determinant, actively shaping what could and did take place within hospitals.

Excerpt from The Modern Hospital: Its Inspiration: Its Architecture, Its Equipment: Its Operation In resigning the manuscript of this book to the publishers, the authors do so in full appreciation of its many shortcomings and of its unfinished character. In mitigation of the offense, they beg to recall to the public mind the sparsity of hospital literature, and the many rapid changes that are taking place in the science of hospital administration, that would render the literature of today valueless for tomorrow. If the wisdom of the many splendid hospital administrators has not been called into requisition more frequently in its pages, it is because there is practically no literature from the pens of these men to draw upon for inspiration. If one of the authors has many times employed illustrations from the institution over which he has the honor to preside, it has not been in any vainglorious spirit, but solely for the reason that he has been more familiar with the workings of that institution than with many that perhaps be doing things far better, and many of its methods of operation are expressions of his own conviction. This book has the tremendous weakness of being a record almost wholly of the experiences of two men, and the authors have seriously pondered the question of how far a discriminating public will be willing to follow the experiences of an individual through a book the size of this. In justification, it may be urged that the history of mankind is a composite of individual life stories, and it is only an infinitesimal number of these millions of members of human society who have here ventured to record their own experiences, not in the hope of permanent fame or glory, but merely with the hope that there may be contained within its pages some new though, or some old thought clothed in new garb, that may help some perplexed and tired worker, and if this shall come to pass, the book will not have been written in vain. It will be noted that in many parts of the book reference is made to articles manufactured by individuals and firms, and the names and addresses of these firms are given. The authors and the publishers are quite aware of the opportunity that this arrangement offers for criticism, and perhaps for charges by interested people that it has been done by way of advertising, and perhaps for a price. In answer to this, the authors, for any purpose in connection with this book, but the authors and publishers fee that if a recommendation of any article is worthy of serious attention on the part of the reader, then the reader has also a right to all the information at the author's disposal, and this information must include the name and address of the person or firm from whom the article may be purchased. No attempt has been made in this book to achieve a literary success. It is merely what its name implies - a book about the modern hospital, the inspirations that bring it into being, its architecture, its equipment, and its administration.

More than any other building type in the twentieth century, the hospital was connected to transformations in the health of populations and expectations of lifespan. From the scale of public health to the level of the individual, the architecture of the modern hospital has reshaped knowledge about health and disease and perceptions of bodily integrity and security. However, the rich and genuinely global architectural history of these hospitals is poorly understood and largely forgotten. This book explores the rapid evolution of hospital design in the twentieth century, analysing the ways in which architects and other specialists reimagined the modern hospital. It examines how the vast expansion of medical institutions over the course of the century was enabled by new approaches to architectural design and it highlights the emerging political conviction that physical health would become the cornerstone of human welfare.
