Conclusions: Benefits
What has been established, however, is the basic framework for a rational
development process which can immediately test some promising
innovative concepts, and which can eventually lead to highly cost-effective
building systems. The intent of this framework is to provide the VA with
improved capability for effective utilization of whatever building products
and design and construction methods are available at the time, while
progressing incrementally toward a more complete hospital building
system. It is also intended to serve as a common frame of reference for
all departments and services within the VA which are concerned in any
way with the programming, design, construction, operation and evaluation
of hospitals.
