    This document discusses space adjacency analysis and relationships in hospital planning. It addresses the basic functions that determine a hospital's form, including inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, administrative, and service functions. Major relationships and flows are outlined, such as between inpatient and outpatient activities, diagnostic facilities, pharmacies, patient rooms, nursing units, operating theaters, and the intensive care unit. The document emphasizes how understanding these relationships and flows is essential for effective hospital space planning and layout.

    DEFINITION:
    In the field of architecture, space adjacency analysis is
    implemented to improve flow of movement from one
    space to another, related to the function of the space.

    Adjacencies stand at the beginning of a multitude of planning tasks. Especially in


    hospital planning they are essential for describing relationships between different
    organizational units - e.g. ‘close’, ‘distant’ or ‘neutral’. This matrix subsequently
    determines relative locations of individual spaces (preliminary space layout). The
    layout deals with the effective definition of this adjacency matrix in the context of
    early-stage architectural planning.

    The basic form of a hospital is ideally
    based on its function:
     Bed related in patient functions.
     Out patient functions.
     Diagnostic and treatment functions.
     Administrative functions.
     Service functions.
     Research and teaching functions.
     Patient functions .
