This book is a one-stop resource on all the critical aspects of planning and designing hospitals, one of the most complex healthcare projects to undertake. A well-planned and designed hospital should control infection rate, provide safety to patients, caregivers and visitors, help improve patients' recovery and have scope for future expansion and change. Reinforcing these basic principles, guidance on such effective planning and designing is the key focus. Readers are offered insights into eliminating shortcomings at every stage of setting up a hospital which may not be feasible to rectify later on through alterations. Chapters from 1 to 12 of the book provide exhaustive notes on initial planning, such as detailed project reports, feasibility studies, and area calculation. Chapters 13 to 27 include designing and layout of all the essential departments/units such as OPD, emergency, intermediate care, diagnostics, operating rooms, and intensive care units. Chapters 28 to 37 cover designing support services like sterilization department, pharmacy, medical gas pipeline, kitchen, laundry, medical record, and mortuary. Chapters 38 to 48 take the readers through planning other services like air-conditioning and ventilation, fire safety, extra low voltage, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services. Chapter 49 is for the planning of medical equipment. A particular chapter on "Green" hospital designing is included. This book is a single essential tabletop reference for hospital consultants, medical and hospital administrators, hospital designers, architecture students, and hospital promoters.

This book has attempted to devise a common language for hospital planning, programming, architecture, engineering and construction. A complete hospital project should be based upon a series of clear tasks and a straightforward schedule that is understood by the hospital, consultant, architect, engineer and contractor. An important feature of this book is the presentation of operational programming ratios. The use fo these ratios as a basis for sizing hospital department would give all of us a common method of re- viewing hospital utilization. Enormous differences in size, ranging from 600 to 1,200 gross square feet per bed, of hospitals in the same community should not exist. A baseline measurement is needed for all hospitals in order to assure quality space for the patient and to contain excessive facility cost based upon department wish- lists.

The planning and design of healthcare facilities has evolved over the previous decades from "function follows design" to "design follows function." Facilities stressed the functions of healthcare providers but patient experience was not fully considered. The design process has now crucially evolved, and currently, the impression a hospital conveys to its patients and community is the primary concern. The facilities must be welcoming, comfortable, and exude a commitment to patient well-being. Rapid changes and burgeoning technologies are now major considerations in facility design. Without flexibility, hospitals face quicker obsolescence if designs are not forward-thinking. Planning and Designing Healthcare Facilities: A Lean, Innovative, and Evidence-Based Approach explores recent developments in hospital design. Medical facilities have been adapted to the requirements of clinical functions. Recently, the needs of patients and clinical pathways have been recognized. With the patient at the center of the process, the flow of tasks becomes the guiding principle as hospital design must employ evidence-based thinking, and process management methods such as Lean become central. The authors explain new concepts to reduce healthcare delivery cost, but keep quality the primary consideration. Concepts such as sustainability (i.e., Green Hospitals) and the use of new tools and technologies, such as information and communication technology (ICT), Lean, and evidence-based planning and innovations are fully explained.

On the second level nine different wards are analysed from the perspective of the physical environment. The third level includes an description and a discussion of the planning of the Regional Hospital in Trondheim, RIT 2000. The intention has been to look at it from an overall planning perspective in order to throw light on the planning and production problems of a large hospital.

A new book from ACEP that will help you participate effectively-or lead the way-in the successful design of your emergency department. Emergency Department Design will teach you the design and planning process so that you and other caregivers can make decisions about what's best for your department. Whether you're building a new department, remodeling an existing one, expanding, or simply adding a new service, the critical decisions you'll make must be based on an understanding of the design process. Time and time again, the best results are achieved when caregivers drive this process, working with design professionals to plan not just for today's patients, but also for those of the future. Read this book and learn how to: Assess your space needs Set physical design goals that meet operational outcomes Define the scope of your project Select a design professional Evaluate the "workability" of proposed design solutions ...and much more. You'll minimize the complexity of the challenge, reduce wasted time, and focus on creating a design that fulfills your vision of how emergency care should be provided. The author is Jon Huddy, AIA, with FreemanWhite, Inc., a nationally renowned architectural firm specializing in emergency department design. Mr. Huddy brings a passion for emergency department design, a commitment to include caregivers in the design process, and an entertaining, energetic presentation style to this book. Michael T.
