Healthcare facility construction in the N.Y.C. area marks a shift to outpatient services, according to an article on the DNA Info website.
A recently released report by Building Congress report said hospitals are expanding primary care and outpatient facilities as they look to cut down on overnight stays.
Many are also replacing rooms with several beds with more private single-bed suites.
At NYU Lagone’s Tisch Hospital in Kips Bay, for instance, a 2017 remodel plan will reconfigure patient care units to contain all single-bed rooms.
