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.

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.
