AB As healthcare leaders look to the future, they are becoming increasingly aware of the vitally important connection between the quality of care delivered and the physical environments in which that care takes place. In addition, they are beginning to recognise the powerful connection between health care organisations and the environment, the very planet itself. These 10 new rules can provide a template to accelerate improved health, health care, and lower costs. They can serve as guideposts to designing truly healing environments today and tomorrow. The worlds of health care, architecture, the arts and the environment are coming together in new and profoundly powerful ways. Let's have the courage, creativity, and compassion to embrace this new world together.
