Hi Signe,
These are two useful papers, though they also imply that there aren't
much reliable evidence for hospital planning.
Arash
Edwards N,.Harrison A. The hospital of the future: Planning hospitals
with limited evidence: a research and policy problem. BMJ
1999;319:1361-3.
Cornell S, Chilcott J, rennan A. Is it feasible to plan secondary care
services for coronary heart disease rationally? A quantified modelling
approach for a UK Health Authority. J.Epidemiol.Community Health
2001;55:521-7.
