Healthcare facilities encompass a wide range of types ranging from small ones to very big ones. They include regular health clinics, big and complex hospitals, research centres etc. With the ever-increasing need to improve our lifestyle, healthcare facilities only keep growing. All of them aim in bringing about a better medical outcome. The better the health care system in a country, the better will be the average life expectancy of the people residing in that country. Healthcare facilities should be made accessible to even the lower sections of the society. This can be achieved by making the construction of healthcare facilities cost effective. Through thorough planning and designing, a cost-effective designing of a health care can be achieved.

Hospital architecture is unique because of the complexity involved. Hospital layout planning can be very tricky and it requires prior experience and skills to do the same. Listed below, are a few tips that should be followed while building a hospital irrespective of its type.

♦   Emergency rooms should be built on the ground in a place where it is very quickly accessible from the entrance or the way through which an ambulance arrives.

♦   A separate entrance for the emergency rooms should be provided. This is because emergency cases require immediate care and treatment, so when the general entrance is used it could be crowded and this would delay the treatment.

♦   The services provided by the healthcare facilities should use the best possible routes for transportation to minimize the time involved.

♦   The rooms provided to patients should be well spaced and should be the threat-free environment. The design should also not hamper the workflow in that area. It should be maintained regularly and should ensure that it is free from any sort of infections. Patients should be given their own privacy. All these things should be kept in mind while designing the rooms for the patients.

♦   It is advised to place the radioactive department in the basement. This will help in reducing the cost that is required for the shielding of the rays from entering the outside environment.

♦   The lift service, elevator service, staircases should be positioned carefully on each floor so that every facility available on that floor is easily accessible from all of them. Apart from this, there should be room for furniture and store equipment on every floor.

♦   Toilets should be maintained properly because there is a good possibility that disease can spread from one patient to another person when it is not properly maintained. There should be toilets that are built separately for the disabled people.

♦   The necessary services like cleaning, sweeping and housekeeping should be provided to all departments in the hospital.
