New Fourth Edition

The SpaceMed Guide has undergone a significant update for 2022. The workbook and space planning templates have been reorganized, and some facility components have been realigned to reflect changing technology and medical practice. Common themes throughout the workbook include — planning during times of uncertainty, the impact of telemedicine on facility capacity, the increasing use of imaging across all medical specialties, the rapid evolution of automation and robotics, and the need for flexible, multiuse space.
