Academy of Architecture for Health

The Center for Health Design (CHD) has opened its annual survey to measure how research in healthcare design is being translated into the design of new facilities. The survey results are available for free each year on The Center for Health Design's web site. Additionally, they are published in industry magazines and presented at healthcare design conferences.

Upon completion of the survey, which closes on March 5, 2011, you will be eligible to win one of three Herman Miller products - each up to $379 retail value.

Funded by CHD's Research Partner, Herman Miller Healthcare, this survey is sent to diverse stakeholder groups, including design teams, medical planners, hospital executives, project management executives, developers, facility managers, physicians, nurses and even patients. Results from this survey will be used to define trends and uses of design research in healthcare environments.

Thanks in advance, for your participation!

This is one of the best surveys yet, on this topic.  I found the questions to be very relevant to current issues related to the integration of research into practice.  I encourage everyone to take the survey. 

Thanks to Ellen for posting this link.
