Hello -
Important note: This answer is not finished until you're satisfied
with it. If you choose to rate this answer, I ask that you do so
after asking for any necessary clarification/information. Thanks for
your understanding.
The following book is something I would highly advise looking into:
How To Develop and Manage A Successful Medical Office Building
http://www.bomacanada.org/pubs/medical.htm
"The most complete publication on the unique aspect of medical office
buildings. Compiled and written by BOMA's Medical Office Building
Committee, every aspect of medical office buildings is covered. The
170-page guide gives advice on medical building operations, from
marketing the building during development to working with regulations
regarding the disposal of medical wastes to ownership options. It also
explores the unique nature of the hospital/ physician relationship and
outlines the specific skills necessary for planning, marketing, and
managing a medical office building. With BOMA's "How To" guide as a
primary source of information, building managers will no longer have
to contend with the variety of opinions and options lent by vendors,
consultants and colleagues concerning medical office buildings,"
explained G.A. "Chip" Julin III, RPA, president of BOMA International.
'This guidebook is the most comprehensive of its kind in the industry,
a direct result of BOMA's Medical Office Building Committee's ability
to gather and synthesize the experiences of top medical facility
experts across North America,' he added."

"...The physician's success is based largely on three parts. One is
the physician's skills, another is a well-trained, motivated staff,
and a third is having a well-designed facility," says Robert Moore,
director of business development for HealthAmerica Realty Group in
Atlanta, a firm that specializes in development, management, and
leasing of medical office space. "You can have the right staff and the
skilled physician, yet have a very unsatisfying medical practice
because you are constrained by space problems..."
