Book Description
An easy-to-use guide to building codes for healthcare facilities
The construction industry is evolving a single set of international building codes. Now, more than ever, architects need an interpretive guide to understand how the building code affects the early design of specific projects. One in a series of focused guides to building codes from Wiley, this book familiarizes code users with the 2006 International Building Code(r) (IBC) as it applies to healthcare facilities.
Early understanding and incorporation of code-compliant design provisions in a project is essential. This book provides healthcare design professionals--architects, engineers, and other related design professionals--with an understanding of how the International Building Code was developed, and how it is likely to be interpreted when applied to the design and construction of healthcare facilities.
Building Codes Illustrated for Healthcare Facilities features:
* A user-friendly visual format that makes finding the information you need quick and easy
* Nearly 900 illustrations, by architectural illustrator Steven Juroszek in the style of noted illustrator and author Frank Ching, that help visualize and explain the codes
* Text written by experienced experts who have been instrumental in gaining acceptance for the new unified building code
* A guide to navigating the new code plus complete coverage of all key aspects of the IBC
The newly adopted International Building Code is similar but by no means identical to the three model codes that most practitioners have used in the past. Building Codes Illustrated for Healthcare Facilities is an essential companion to the IBC for emerging practitioners seeking to master the full scope of accepted knowledge in the field, and for experienced practitioners needing to understand the similarities and differences between the familiar model codes and the new IBC.
Customer Reviews:
Very Disappointing.......2007-05-03
This book contains very little healthcare specific code information. During my first round flipping through the book, I did not manage to notice any information on healthcare code issues. Upon further inspection, I did manage to find a few healthcare related items... but nothing even close to being useful - or worth the price of the book, for that matter.
This book seems to be simply a repackaging of the book "Building Codes Illustrated," by some of the same authors - which I own as well. The table of contents for both books are nearly identical. Non of the chapters have anything healthcare related in their titles. Most of the graphics appear to be straight out of "Building Codes Illustrated" as well. The index contains more references to subjects such as "brick expansion joints," "cripple studs," and "concrete piles" than it does to anything healthcare specific. Disappointing, to say the least.
If you are looking for industry specific code information, this is NOT your book. This is an unfortunate mislabeling/retitling.
Product Description
This comprehensive book provides both the theory and concepts behind financial decision making in the health services industry as well as the "nuts and bolts" tools required to apply the concepts in a variety of provider settings. Woven throughout the book are tips and techniques for using spreadsheet analyses to make a better financial decisions.

Customer Reviews:
Awesome Book.......2005-08-19
Healthcare is an industry full of misunderstanding, mostly because there are so many facets to it, and comprehending all of them is a challenge, in itself
Wurman's book is a terrific guide, mainly because he comprehensively describes every facet of healthcare, but the genius behind this book is the fact that every facet is described both in text and through picture
Wurman has gone at lengths to provide us with many illustrations, statistics, and charts/graphs to illustrate all of his biggest points, regarding the healthcare industry today ----- in turn, the book takes very complicated ideas, but presents them in ways that are easy to read, see, and learn
Overall, its the best reference book to healthcare that I have seen, outside of books that are stricly meant for doctors or administrators
highly recommended!
HAPPY READING!!!!!
A tool for all doctor visits.......2004-02-25
Richard Wurman has provided a set of tools that will make a visit to the doctor better. Information is provided in an organized and useful manner, empowering patients to stay in control of their health care decision making. Everyone should take this book with them on each visit, ensuring that you will leave the office with improved health (and a health plan more focused on your needs).
What a great tool!!.......2004-01-27
I was so delighted to see that Richard Saul Wurman and Johnson & Johnson had come together to create a book on one of the most important topics of our lifetime. Healthcare. This is a great book, full of lots of information and beautifully illustrated. I am sending everyone in my family one. Thank you.

Covering all aspects of the "psychotheraputic minefield".......2004-06-07
Marlene Hunter is an expert physician and a past president of the International Society for the Study of Dissociation. In Understanding Dissociative Disorders: A Guide For Family Physicians And Health Care Professionals Dr. Hunter presented a serious account written specifically for family physicians and mental health professionals, but which is also quite relevant to anyone who has suffered from or knows a loved one with dissociative disorders. Covering what can and cannot be done to help patients, how best to talk to them, how to help individuals and their families come to terms with the disorder, and much more. A straightforward account covering all aspects of the "psychotheraputic minefield" including post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms, comorbid states associated with dissociation, body-image and eating disorders, sleep disturbances, sexual dysfunction, and much more, Understanding Dissociative Disorders is a highly recommended reference and resource and a welcome addition to psychology and psychiatry reading lists.
