EFFICIENCY AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS
An efficient hospital layout should:
Promote staff efficiency by minimizing distance of necessary
travel between frequently used spaces
Allow easy visual supervision of patients by limited staff
Provide an efficient logistics system, which might include
elevators,
pneumatic tubes, box conveyors,
manual or automated carts,
gravity or pneumatic chutes
for efficient handling of food and clean supplies and
removal of waste, recyclables, and soiled material
Make efficient use of space by locating support spaces so that
they may be shared by adjacent functional areas
Use generic room sizes and plans , than highly specific ones
Provide optimal functional adjacencies, such as
locatingthe surgical intensive care unit adjacent to the
operating suite.
These adjacencies should be based on the hospital's
intended operations ,from the standpoint of
patients, staff, and supplies.
Be served by modular, easily accessed, and modified
mechanical and electrical systems
Be open-ended, with well planned directions for
future expansion
THERAPEUTIC ENVIRONMENT
Using familiar and culturally relevant materials consistent
with sanitation and other functional needs
• Use of artwork
Place air intakes away from vehicles and other such sources of
pollution to prevent indoor air contamination.
ENERGY SAVINGS
Maximum use of natural light, solar energy and green power
can lead to plenty of energy being saved.
