Title: Hospital planning and designing


1
Planning and Designing a Hospital
  • Parnab Roy
  • MHM(1st year)
  • SMU

2
Hospital must meet two basic fundamental needs-
  • Must meet the needs of the patient it is going to
    serve adequately.
  • It must be in a size and proportions which the
    owners or promoters will be able to build and
    operate.

3
Basic objectives which are to be met by the
hospital-
  • Sound architectural plan
  • Economic viability
  • Effective community orientation
  • Quality patient care

4
Principles of hospital planning-
  • Protection from unwanted and unnecessary
    disturbances in order to help speedy recovery
  • Separation of dissimilar activities
  • Control the nurses station should be positioned
    strategically to enable proper monitoring of
    visitors entering and leaving the ward, infants
    and children should be protected from theft and
    infection etc.
  • Circulation- all the departments of a hospital
    must be properly integrated.
  • (separate all departments, yet keep them all
    together separate types of traffic, yet save
    steps for everybody that is all there is to
    hospital planning Emerson Goble)

5
Selection of site-
  • Needs of the community
  • Ease of accessibility
  • Range of services offered
  • Availability of specialists
  • Availability of technology
  • Study of existing hospital(if any)
  • Requirements of staff and services

6
Type of hospital-
  • Primary
  • Secondary
  • Tertiary
  • Private
  • Partnership
  • Public charitable trust
  • Cooperative society

7
Bed planning-
  • Bed PopulationA S 100
  • 365 PO
  • A number of inpatient admissions/1000
    population/year
  • S average length of stay
  • PO percentage occupancy

8
Planning of finances-
  • Funds required for constructing, furnishing and
    equipping the hospital.
  • Operating funds- salaries, loans and interest,
    other maintenance expenses.
  • Arranging financial assistance-patient fees, bed
    charges, and other modes of revenue generation
    process.

9
Equipment planning-
Built in equipment These include counters and cabinets in laboratory, Pharmacy and other parts of the hospital,elevators,incinerators,coolers,fixed sterilizing equipment etc.These are usually included in the construction contract and the planning of these equipments is the architect's responsibility.
Depreciable equipment This includes equipment that has a life of five years or more and is not purchased through construction contracts. These are large pieces of furniture which have a relatively fixed location and are capable of being moved e.g., diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, laboratory instruments, office furniture etc.
10
Non depreciable equipment These are small items with a low unit cost and life span of less than five years. These are generally under the control of the store room and are bought through other than construction contracts. They include kitchen utencils,surgical instruments,linen,waste baskets etc.
11
Operation programme-
Admission Human resource
Administration Stores
General engineering Purchasing
Laundry Maintenance
Clinical services Waste disposal plant
Pharmacy Fire and safety
Nursing services Disaster plan
House keeping information
Records Dietary services
Public relations Clinical engineering
Employee facilities Sanitation
12
Planning of departments-
  • In patient department-
  • Patient room- These may be private/semi private
    rooms or multibed general wards. They should be
    designed to be safe and aesthetically pleasing so
    as to assist in quick recovery of patient. They
    must contain space for equipments, staffs and
    various need of the patient.
  • Nurses control station- should be located and
    designed in such a way that the nurses can
    observe the patient room.
  • The work area- related to handling materials
    necessary for patient care, maintaining
    communication and records etc.

13

  • Dialysis equipment
  • Radiological equipment
  • Laboratory equipment
  • others

19
Obstetrical unit-
  • The obstetrical unit should ideally be located
    close to the labour and delivery room as also to
    the nursery to avoid the exposing the bodies to
    infection.
  • A room for patient education and group
    discussions is essential with cheerful decoration
    is desirable

20
Newborn unit-

25
Hospital store It should be located centrally to the hospital Approachable by supply vehicles and should have separate service entrance Risk of fire and explosion in a medical supplies storehouse, storage of acids, inflammable materials and oxygen and other gas cylinders will require special attention
CSSD CSSD mostly serves the operation theatre, emergency, casualty department, wards, maternity suit and should be so cited as to be central to all this
Hospital dietary service Should be located taking into consideration the prevailing wind direction so that smoke and kitchen odours are not constantly wafted to patient care area Should be sited at ground level and connected to store with lift
26
Hospital work shop/BME department A large quantum of various types of mechanical and electrical equipment is installed in a hospital and requires repair and preventive maintenance.
Laundry Used linen from wards, operation theatres and delivery suites maybe infected, and therefore needs careful handling at an area remote from all other clinical and supportive services areas Space for washing, storing, drying shades and ironing rooms have to be catered for at an appropriate area with plentiful supply of water
MRD Should be located immediate to the admission and registration area. Enough space for keeping/storing of patient files Adequate safety .

Project costing-
  • The most common method of estimating hospital
    construction costs has been the per bed
    method,i.e.,if the total cost of a 100 beded
    hospital has been Rs.400 lakhs,the cost/ bed is
    Rs.4,oo,ooo.
  • Break up of project cost-
  • Acquisition of site
  • Site survey, investigation
  • Landscaping
  • Construction contact-building with fixed
    equipment
  • Supervision and inspection
  • Equipping the hospital-diagnostic and therapeutic
    equipment
  • Movable equipment, furniture etc.
  • Architect's fee
  • Consultants fee
  • Site engineers fee

30
Phasing -
  • The necessity to bring facilities into use as
    quickly as possible for operational reasons.
  • The necessity to split a major project into a
    smaller units as a contractual consideration

Stage B Operational policies Developmental plan Operational policies Departmental and inter related activities Departmental and hospital policies Development control plan Budget cost Continuous informal discussion with owners
33
Stage C Schedules of accommodation, sketches, Final cost estimate Schedules of accommodation Sketch drawing Equipment schedules component estimates Cost revenue and staffing estimates Final cost approval
Stage D Detail design working drawings, tender action Working drawings Engineering details Bills of quantities Calling tenders
Stage E Contract and construction Assessments of tenders Award of contract Construction Engineering commissioning
Stage F Commissioning Staff assembly and training Equipment and supplies assembly Testing of installation
34
Conclusion-
  • Technology requirement must be met
  • Clinical needs must be considered
  • Safety is a major factor
