2. Hospital Designing
 Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an
object, system or measurable human interaction (as in architectural
blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams
 A functional design can promote skill, economy, conveniences, and
comforts; a non-functional design can impede activities of all types, detract
from quality of care, and raise costs to intolerable levels.
 Good hospital design integrates functional requirements with the human
needs of its varied users.

3. Physical relationships between these functions
determine the configuration of the hospital

4. Certain relationships between the
various functions are required

5. Building Attributes
 Efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
 Flexibility and expandability.
 Therapeutic environment.
 Cleanliness and sanitation.
 Accessibility.
 Controlled circulation.
 Aesthetics.
 Safety and security.
 Sustainability.

6. OPD (Out-Patient Department)
 It is first point of contact between a hospital and patients.
 It is also known as the shop window of the hospital.

7. OPD Designing
 12-18% of total hospital area.
 60% of the OPD area should be waiting area and corridors.
 Seats for 1/3 of daily attendance @ 8 sq. ft./pt.
 Consultation room – 150 sq. ft.
 Attached examination room – 80 sq. ft.

13. Parking and Entrance Enquiry Desk,
Reception Station
Waiting Area
• Main entrance gentle
sloping ramps to facilitate
movement
• Entrance should have a
double door with a width
of 1500 mm
• Wheelchairs should be
readily available at the
entrance
• Staff and patient entrance
should be separate
• Parking should be close to
entrance
• Height of counter should
be adapted to need of
wheelchair patients
• To ensure privacy,
reception should have
counters
• Space recommended is
square meter per patient
for one third of average
daily patients attending
OPD in one session
• Sub-waiting areas may be
shared between the
various consultation
rooms.
• Distance from waiting
to the consultation room
should be short
• Toilets should be close

14. Day Care Center Designing
 A new single storey building used by a local authority to provide day care
seven days a week (15 patients max per day).
 A community room in a sheltered housing scheme used as a day center for
one day each week (12 patients max per day).
 Sometimes it is purpose built, which is attached to a private or local
authority residential home.
 A mobile day care team, providing day care at different locations on
different days of the week.

17. Inference
 A well-designed and well-organized outpatient department can be high
revenue generating area of the hospital.
 By limiting the number of outpatient consulting rooms and support
services facilities, the hospital promoters fail to realize the full potential in
terms of efficient and quality service and revenue generation.
 Designing of a Day Care Center is done according to the specialization (it
is a process driven approach).
