HOSPITAL PLANNING-
A hospital plan covers treatment and medical costs that arise while the insured is booked
into hospital, while a comprehensive medical aid plan will cover hospital costs and other private
medical needs like specialist consultations, GP visits, and additional tests or procedures

HOSPITAL DESIGNING-

It is a complex building which incorporates high-level technology to fulfill a variety of


functions, including those of office, hotel, industry, place of worship, and warehouse.

The key factors which should be considered in designing the hospital layout-

LAYOUT OF HOSPITAL –

layout planning aims at arranging organizational units inside a building such that the
available area is used optimally and total distances are minimized. Most layout planning
applications arise in industrial environments.

LAYOUT TYPES-

There are four basic layout types: process, product, hybrid, and fixed position. In this section
we look at the basic characteristics of each of these types. Then we examine the details of
designing some of the main types. Layouts that group resources based on similar processes or
functions.

Process layouts

Layouts that group resources based on similar processes or functions.

Process layouts arrange items by type as seen in this grocery store.


Process Layouts

Process layouts are layouts that group resources based on similar processes or functions. This
type of layout is seen in companies with intermittent processing systems. You would see
aprocess layout in environments in which a large variety of items are produced in a low volume.
Since many different items are produced, each with unique processing requirements, it is not
possible to dedicate an entire facility to each item. It is more efficient to group resources based
on their function. The products are then moved from one resource to another, based on their
unique needs.

The challenge in process layouts is to arrange resources to maximize efficiency and minimize
waste of movement. If the process layout has not been designed properly, many products will
have to be moved long distances, often on a daily basis. This type of movement adds nothing to
the value of the product and contributes ...

Components of Facility Layout and Materials Management


There are many moving parts in healthcare facilities, all with unique design challenges. Some of
the more important ones are:

 Loading Docks. The coordination of supply trucks and waste stream movement cane be
challenging and requires the dock area to be sized correctly to accommodate both clean
and soiled waste streams, as well as located conveniently. Regulatory and Licensing
agencies stringently enforce separation of clean supply and waste to minimize overlap. 

 Materials Management. Storage of supplies and equipment often are not integrated with
physician needs, resulting in too many of some supplies and too few of others.
Connecting supply vendors with the hospitals electronic records system is a way to track
real-time information on how many supplies are currently on hand, where they are
located, and what’s in stock.   Hospitals are required to have 20 square-feet per bed
minimum storage on hand. Ensuring that the overall supply space is used efficiently can
reduce overhead costs.

 Environmental Services. These are services required to maintain cleanliness and


infection control. Efficient design is required to ensure that flows of both clean and soiled
materials are separated to minimize contamination. 

 Mailroom and Courier Services. Even though hospital facilities are moving towards
more digital services, there are still plenty of transactions that happen through physical
mailings. Having a system that allows incoming and outgoing mail to happen easily is
often overlooked, but just as important for day-to-day function.
 Dietary Services. There are many people that need to be fed within a hospital
environment. Dietary services have the challenge of having patient meals that are
delivered hot from a remote location within the facility which is a difficult proposition as
patients are not always in their rooms when meals are delivered. 

 Waste Management. Managing hospital waste is an expensive proposition for owners.


Hospital trash needs to be sorted for recycling, biological waste needs to be held
separately and stored before sending to a landfill. Food waste – depending on the
municipality needs to be managed carefully for landfill or composting. Chemical,
Radioactive, Pathological, Sharps and Pharmaceutical waste are also part of the waste
stream that requires careful management.
