 ARCHITECTURE &
CAMPUS DESIGN
Good campus planning and architecture allows the
layout of streets, building approach and building entries
to serve as wayfinding devices. Trying to read signs
while driving is nerve-wracking. Vehicular access and
approach roads should be designed to be intuitive and
clear to alleviate stress on the commute. In addition,
choices in scale, lighting and materiality for the main
entry to the hospital, parking structures, and medical
office buildings put patients and their families on the
quickest path to the front door. Locating vertical
circulation towers and major public spaces near main
entries serves as a beacon for those arriving at night,
signaling to patients and families where to go with
clearly illuminated entrances.

 FLOORING

Hospital flooring must satisfy numerous

requirements such as- comfort, low maintenance,
infection control, safety.  Sustainable flooring
alternatives are available to meet these demands
and reduce environmental impacts during
manufacturing and installation.

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 4

 LIGHTING

All areas in a hospital and other health facilities

shall be provided with sufficient illumination to
promote comfort, healing and recovery of
patients and to enable personnel in the
performance of work .

 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
Every nursing home and hospital or any other medical
facility must have fire extinguishers safety system.
Although some people think that fire extinguishers are
not worthy for their organization but they must know
this fact that fire extinguishers are an essential part of
any fire safety strategy. They works as a first possible
resource to prevent fire and they will save the hospital
property with lessening damage and provide fatalities
as they are a first preventive response to a fire.

 A PATIENT LIFT
may be either a sling lift or a sit-to-stand lift. This is an
assistive device that allows patients in hospitals and
nursing homes and people receiving home health care
to be transferred between a bed and a chair or other
similar resting places, by the use of electrical or
hydraulic power. Sling lifts are used for patients whose
mobility is limited. Sling lifts are mobile (or floor) lifts
or overhead lifts (ceiling- or wall-mounted, or using
overhead tracks.

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 7

 EMERGENCY EXIT
An emergency exit in a structure is a special
exit for emergencies such as a fire: the
combined use of regular and special exits
allows for faster evacuation, while it also
provides an alternative if the route to the
regular exit is blocked.

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 8

 24/7 AMBULANCE SERVICE
That is the roles of ambulance when it comes to
how important an ambulance service is to
hospitals. This medical facility vehicle delivers the
best care for the patients who need the emergency
care. This medical transportation also comes with
the several medical crews which will make the
roles of ambulance more vital .

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 9

 DROP-OFF AND PARKING
There is no better way to feel that you are being taken
care of – pampered even – than by eliminating all worry
of arrival, drop-off and parking. Free valet services
reduce stress of finding a space, paying and returning to
your car. An expanded vehicular drop-off and pick-up
area accommodates these services. It is also adaptable
for ride-share and a potential autonomous car
revolution. With more patients and visitors utilizing
alternative arrival methods, this drop-off sequence will
become more important than ever before as parking
garages shrink or are converted to other hospital
functions .

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 10

 A BETTER WAITING
AREA
The same holds true for check in desks and waiting
areas – use the spaces and their visual identities to
intuitively help patients navigate. The waiting room
is one of the most stressful parts of a visit so make it
an amazing place to be: provide expansive views,
windows for daylight, art and beautiful, comfortable
furniture. Locating waiting areas along the perimeter
is an effective way to promote wayfinding and
mitigate patient and family stress .

20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 11

 DIGNIFIED DISCHARGE

Finally, consider how to give a dignified exit for patients

who are leaving the hospital, but still require assistance.
Provide a comfortable and private discharge route that
does not go through the main hospital doors for those
using crutches or a wheelchair for the first time or
recovering from a day procedure. This not only provides
the departing patient a more dignified departure but can
calm nerves for new patients entering the hospital.
