The Built Environment Influence on Resilient Healthcare: A Systematic Literature Review of Design Knowledge.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop built environment (BE) design knowledge to support resilient healthcare by systematically reviewing the evidence-based design (EBD) literature.

Background: Although the EBD literature is vast, it has not made explicit its contribution to resilient healthcare, which is a key component of the highly complex health service.

Method: This review followed the steps recommended by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses method.

Integrated modelling of built environment and functional requirements: Implications for resilience.

The built environment is a core part of most healthcare systems, involving a number of requirements such as those related to space and patients' well-being. However, these are usually addressed separately from other functional requirements, resulting in designs that do not support resilient performance. This study proposes a framework for the integrated modelling of built environment and other functional requirements, relying on two approaches: Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM), and Building Information Modelling (BIM).

Monitoring complexity and resilience in construction projects: The contribution of safety performance measurement systems.

Although complexity and resilience are key inter-related characteristics of construction projects, little is known on how to monitor these characteristics and their implications for safety management. This study investigates the contribution of Safety Performance Measurement Systems (SPMS) as a means for monitoring and understanding of sources of complexity and resilience in construction. It is based in three empirical studies carried out in construction projects, two in Chile and one in Brazil.

Redefining healthcare infrastructure: moving toward integrated solutions.

Currently in the United Kingdom there is a trend to broaden the scope of service provision in the healthcare sector. Not only are new healthcare-related services being provided to the community, but also there is increasing concern for providing services to extend the life cycle of built facilities. This trend is similar to what has been observed in manufacturing, where different approaches are used to combine products and services, generating high-value integrated solutions.
