    Dear Colleagues,

    Literature reviews suggest that a misalignment of priorities between designers and clients, as well as a misunderstanding of the role of the architect has led to the gradual marginalization of the architect on today's design and construction team. To study this phenomenon, a research project will consider this matter from the standpoint of three separate interest groups; the health care client, the health care design architect, and health care design academic instructors. The beginning stage of this study includes the following pilot survey, which aims to establish a condensed list of architectural services for consideration in later stages (no healthcare design experience required for participation).

    This phase of the study seeks to determine and rank the importance of architectural services listed in AIA Documents B101 and B132 as per professional opinion. Because you are a licensed architect who has demonstrated your skills and knowledge of the profession through practice, your insight is key to the success of this study. The questionnaire will also give participants the opportunity to add services they feel should be included on the list of services, and take away services they believe should be removed. Please take a moment to complete this survey. To participate, you must be a registered architect practicing in the United States.

    Please know that your participation in this study is voluntary, and participant confidentiality is a top priority with this research team. A decision not to participate will not result in any penalty. You are free to discontinue participation at any time. Within the survey is a consent form for your review. After reading the consent terms, if you choose to participate, please select "I Agree" under the consent statement. Thank you for your time and participation.
