Area Calculation Method for Health Care
by D. Kirk Hamilton and Sarel Lavy

Yet there are currently many different methods for determining square footage in health care departments. This monograph outlines a standard method to calculate the area of health care spaces. This method, based on years of development and vetting, creates much-needed standardization to the measurement process.
