Abstract

The present article discusses healthcare buildings, from the perspective of Healthcare Economics, focused on the need for healthcare delivery efficiency and the optimization of the respective resources. An important variable that affects the efficiency of the patient's recovery is the perception of both the patient and the staff regarding the facilities where healthcare is provided. The Achieving Excellence Design Evaluation Toolkit (AEDET) system, developed in England, is a tool by which the quality of the healthcare buildings can be evaluated and checked regarding their space perception, function, and technique. The aim of this study was to translate the AEDET into brazilian-portuguese, as well as to adapt it for use in Brazil. The AEDET - Brazil was then applied to the Pirajussara General Hospital. We concluded that the AEDET - Brazil is a toolkit that represents an important advance that can be used to evaluate and assess the quality of healthcare facilities.
