Introduction

In the last two decades, evidence-based design-

features that

Improve patient healing, mood, and well-being,

Staff efficiency and safety

Through thoughtful and research-based design

initiatives-has fundamentally changed how we

design hospital interiors.

For healthier indoor environments.

low-VOC paint, recycled paint, less toxic adhesives

that generate less off-gassing, and carpets and ceiling

tiles that include post-consumer waste and/or can be

recycled.

History

-The design research and its evolution are described in a snap shot in the following timeline.

-The research on interior designs in Healthcare sector developed in the period 1978-1991.

-Then there were some enlightened clients which promoted more of open to nature designs.

-During 1995-1997 there were some innovators and risk Takers.

Presented by : Nitin Sharma P 2/20

-Then there were some Major projects which included connection with nature through incorporating

oxygen rich varieties.Then there were some design principles evolved:

-Provide access to gardens when possible. -Create comfortable size rooms.

-Increase quantity and size of windows. -Provide decentralized, barrier-free nursing stations

-Create family zones in patient rooms.

Electric operable partitions

Provide a visually stunning and flexible

space

Panels are 4in thick

Panels are hinged together and are

operated by two electric key switches for

fast, safe set-up.

Maximum Ht. 9.2m

Mechanically retracted bottom seals

Partition travels across the opening

without causing damage to the floor and

accommodates deflection and floor

variance.

Maintains acoustics over time and adds

stability to the partition when extended.

Low profile hinges

Interlocking vertical seals

panel-to-panel alignment and prevents

sound leaks between panels.

Wayfinding(signages)

This relationship requires the user to form an overall

mental image of the layout of the place. This image

is referred to as the cognitive map of the setting

Wayfinding applications can direct visitors from

point to point within facilities, thus speeding-up the

process of finding a patient room or check-in area.

Functional efficiency

Visitor accessibility

Safety

Patient empowerment, improving cognitive skills

in spatial understanding

Improved bottom line

system

The battery fits above the tube and connects to a

motor for power.

Blinds can be grouped together for simultaneous

operation and integrated with BMS/a range of

control options

ElementsFurniture

Mechanical Electic operated beds made of Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a

common thermoplastic polymer used in Hospital Beds.

-The basic modern hospital bed is called an electric bed

Smart Beds - Microprocessors installed in the bed measuring respiration patterns will sense when breathing has ceased, as well as move the bed in such a way that the individual resumes breathing.

Elements

Overhead Track Lifts

Portable Floor LiftsCeiling Mounted Lifts Free Standing Overhead Lifts

Ceiling structure must support

weight of lift and person.

Overhead track lifts can be

used in rooms with limited

floor space or where an exam

table cannot accommodate a

portable floor lift.

Do not require modifications to

existing construction.

While not as portable as floor

lifts with wheels, these lifts are

movable and can be relocated as

needs or services change.

A low height, adjustable

width base can move

closer to the end of the

exam table and can be

narrowed for transit

and storage.

Elements

Use of Copper fittings

Due to its intrinsic germ-killing properties,

copper is now being used in the development of

products and materials for health care interiors.

(5,000-year-old technology)

Copper, which begins to destroy these organisms

at a cellular level on contact.

When tested in Hospitals, infection dropped by

58 percent.

Presented by : Nitin Sharma P 17/20

Copper alloys installed in proximity

to hospitalized patients,

On items such as the bed rail, IV pole

and nurse call button,door handles,

push buttons for automatic doors,

faucet levers in public and patient

bathrooms, over-bed tabletops.

Bump rails and corner guards

Beds, food trolleys, medicine trolleys, drip stands, mop buckets

and wheelchairs are types of wheeled equipment.

Leads to accidents and mechanical damage to walls, corners and

exposed edges.

Bump-rails should be specified and fitted in key areas to

minimise repairs and prolong the wall finishes.

In addition, bump-rails are useful behind chair-backs in waiting

areas, where scuff marks are common.

Equipments

Moisture Control Dehumidifier

-Control humidity in Hospitals,

acting as a desiccant (a hygroscopic substance used as a drying agent).

Presented by : Nitin Sharma P 19/20

-Keeping excessive moisture at bay.

With a Bry-Air dehumidifier.

-Surgeon can personally set the

temperature and humidity that

is most appropriate for each procedure.

-Those conditions will be maintained

regardless of existing mechanical

system in the rest of the building.

-The RH can be easily

controlled to 45% or lower, even

at temperatures below 65°F(18.3°C).

Elements

Equipments

Air purifier

Central filtration system

Presented by : Nitin Sharma P 20/20

-Capable of removing

relatively large particulates

like dust, dander, pollen,

fibres, mould spores and

fungus using a combination

of electrostatic precipitation,

HEPA and UV light.

-Sufficient to clean

large public areas to an

acceptable level of healthy

indoor air quality.

High-efficiency particulate arrestance (HEPA), also sometimes called high-efficiency

particulate arresting or high-efficiency particulate air, is a type of air filter.

Filters meeting the HEPA standard used in medical facilities
