From the parking lot to the exam room; doctors can improve the physical surroundings for their patients; yet often they do not. Given the numerous and varied duties doctors must perform; it may fall to the design profession to implement changes; many based on research; to improve healthcare experiences. From location and layout to furnishings and positive distractions; this book provides evidence-based information about the physical environment to help doctors and those who design medical workspaces improve the experience of health care. Along with its research base; a special aspect of this book is the integration of relevant historical material about the office practice of physicians at the beginning of the twentieth century. Many of their design solutions are viable today. In addition to improving the physical design of healthcare facilities; author Ann Sloan Devlin is the granddaughter; daughter; and niece of physicians; as well as the granddaughter and daughter of nurses. She worked in a hospital during college; and has visited a good many practitionersrsquo; offices in medical office buildings and ambulatory care settings. This book addresses an overlooked location of care: the doctorrsquo;s office suite.

However; unlike some other Kindle coloring books; this one has a link to download and print these on your own. I like that. I recently got into coloring. Its something my son and I can do together while we are at the cabin relaxing. My son is only 6 so he cant color these very well but its an activity he and I can do together and share our results with one another.Disclaimer - I received this ebook for free in exchange for my honest; unbiased; and fair review.

Unique coloring designs; that are great for stress reliefBy Greg; Tina FamilyPurchased this coloring book (Kindle download edition) to check if we want to purchase this book to test out some of the multiple download pages. We have checked out many of the these types of coloring books these compare to some of the others and are mostly unique in design challenge to color; which is exactly what we are looking for in a coloring art project. This book has some unique shapes patterns; but a few of the patterns seem to be slightly similar to others in the same book or another book from this company.We also love that you can download certain pages to try out before you purchase any coloring book from Speedy Publishing/Jupiter Kids. The pages to download are a mixture of what they have to offer from 12 different books: 3 adult; 8 kids 1 faith sample coloring books. Plus we like that we can print the downloads on thicker paper to color on; we use art paper or bright cardstock to make the colors pop. This bonus makes it nicer all around; to be able to use quality color pencils on quality art paper; to get a nicer finished art project. We hang our completed pictures right next to our nieces projects on the frig; in one of those nice frames that holds 30-40 pages for display.We started coloring a few years ago with our niece it made us feel so relaxed; that we checked into adult color books; now they seem to be very popular easier to find. Another nice thing in this book; is in foreword it goes over the benefits importance of coloring. It also explains that coloring is good for Alzheimers Dementia and helps with stress anxiety; all of which we found very interesting. This book has many pictures that will relax you and relieve your stress tension from your everyday troubles.Pros:Easy to download onto our KindleGreat as a preview; before you make a purchaseDecent price for 106 page coloring bookUnique complex patterns to color; in most of the pictures Includes bonus download pages to test; which we already have used; printed colored a few different pages.Cons:Download samples are not from this book; but there are 12 different books to print pages from; but only 3 adult. Plus you cannot print them from your Kindle; which seems odd. Some of the patterns are similar to others throughout the book to pictures in other books by Speedy Publishing/Jupiter Kids.Overall we like this adult coloring book (Kindle download edition) and would recommend this to anyone looking to check out the artwork before buying the paperback book. This book gave us a preview of what the actual book contains; but does not have any pages to actually color in printable form or on the kindle. Just a quick side note...we thought our niece would enjoy doing this book with us; but found out it is not for most children of a younger age; since they might become frustrated with the thin tight coloring areas. We would have given this a 4.5 to 5-star review rating; but for the few cons we had to give this a 4-star rating.Disclosure: This product was received for free to be evaluated; tested reviewed; however this in no way influences our process in leaving product feedback ratings. We as well as most other buyers; rely heavily on reviews posted by other shoppers; and feel everyone should leave honest; detailed well written reviews no matter what. So only 100% honest reviews are given by us; regardless of whether a product is purchased at full price or for a discount.Thank you for you time interest in our review. If we have been helpful or you have any questions; please let us know - Greg; Tina Family0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Paisley designs are greatBy haganarrettThe company; Speedy Publishing LLC is a book company that Irsquo;ve had the pleasure of working with. Irsquo;ve purchased many of their products and throughout my time working with them I never had problems. They are concerned with maintaining high quality content for their readers and do a good job of taking care of their authors as well as their customers. This is the type of company that I love and appreciate to work with. I have recommended their products to my friends and family and am confident Irsquo;ll continue buying in the near future!This is a wonderful coloring book. The benefits of coloring are highlighted in the beginning of the book as it can improve focus; penmanship; and self-expression among others. The images itself are quite nice. They all seem to be in the shape of circles but this might pose a problem if you color between lines. The lines and shapes are continuous and require some type of imagination in order to color.The next part of this book has to do with paisley. I like the paisley designs. They are way more intricate and detailed than the Mandala art. I think this section alone highlights the benefits of this book. Itrsquo;s very detailed and requires a great deal of patience. I can see this book being a great thing to use for older adults and the elderly.The seller of this product has provided the product at a discount in return for an honest and unbiased review. I do not receive rewards or incentives for this review. I thoroughly test all products prior to evaluation and write a comprehensive review unaffected by the seller. The reviews of products are meaningful to me as I evaluate products from read reviews prior to purchasing. I am entrusted to write an honest opinion that evaluates the product and only the product. Good reviews are not a requirement and I hope my review helps in your decision making with this product
