examination room in hospital: Modern Clinic Design Christine Guzzo Vickery, Gary Nyberg, Douglas Whiteaker, 2015-04-20 Shift Clinic design to keep pace with the evolving healthcare industry Modern Clinic Design: Strategies for an Era of Change is a comprehensive guide to optimizing patient experience through the design of the built environment. Written by a team of veteran healthcare interior designers, architects, and engineers, this book addresses the impacts of evolving legislation, changing technologies, and emerging nontraditional clinic models on clinic design, and illustrates effective design strategies for any type of clinic. Readers will find innovative ideas about lean design, design for flexibility, and the use of mock-ups to prototype space plans within a clinic setting, and diagrammed examples including waiting rooms, registration desks, and exam rooms that demonstrate how these ideas are applied to real-world projects. Spurred on by recent healthcare legislation and new technological developments, clinics can now offer a greater variety of services in a greater variety of locations. Designers not only need to know the different requirements for each of these spaces, but also understand how certain design strategies affect the patient's experience in the space. This book explores all aspects of clinic design, and describes how aesthetics and functionality can merge to provide a positive experience for patients, staff, and healthcare providers. Understand how recent industry developments impact facility design Learn how design strategies can help create a positive patient experience Examine emerging clinic models that are becoming increasingly prevalent Analyze the impact of technology on clinic design A well-designed clinic is essential for the well-being of the patients and health care providers that occupy the space every day. The healthcare industry is shifting, and the healthcare design industry must shift with it to continue producing spaces that are relevant to ever-evolving patient and worker needs. For complete guidance toward the role of design, Modern Clinic Design is a thorough, practical reference. |

examination room in hospital: Big Brother in the Exam Room Twila Brase, 2018 There are serious dangers lurking behind the government's $30 billion electronic health record (EHR) experiment. This omnipresent technology turns doctors into data clerks and shifts attention from patients to paperwork-while health plans, government agencies, and the health data industry profit. Patients who think the HIPAA ''privacy'' rule protects the confidentiality of their medical information will be shocked to discover it makes their medical records an open book. Inside this book, discover: - how Congress forced doctors to install surveillance in the exam room - hard facts from over 125 studies and reports about the impact of EHRs on medical care, costs, patient safety, and more - how patient treatment decisions are controlled (and tracked) by the EHR - what specific steps back to freedom, privacy, and patient safety are available, and why we must act now. |
examination room in hospital: Hospital Operations Wallace J. Hopp, William S. Lovejoy, 2012-10-30 By one estimate, the U.S. wastes $480 billion annually on healthcare expenditures that don’t improve care. Worse, because of faulty systems – not personnel – up to 98,000 people die every year due to preventable medical errors – and that doesn’t count non-terminal events such as hospital-acquired infections. In Hospital Operations, two leading operations management experts and four senior physicians demonstrate how to apply new OM advances to substantially improve any hospital’s operational, clinical, and financial performance. Replete with examples, this bookshows how to diagram hospital flows, trace interconnections, and optimize flows for better performance. Readers will find specific guidance on improving emergency departments, operating rooms, hospital floors, and diagnostic units; and successfully applying metrics. Coverage includes: reducing ER overcrowding and enhancing patient safety...improving OR scheduling, enhancing organizational learning, and responding to surgeons and other stakeholders... improving bed availability, optimizing nurse schedules, and creating more seamless patient handoffs... reducing lab turnaround time, improving imaging responsiveness, and decreasing lab errors...successfully applying the right metrics for every facet of hospital performance. The authors conclude by previewing the Hospital of the Future, addressing issues ranging from prevention and self-care to the evolution of technology and evidence-based medicine. |

examination room in hospital: Monitoring Tools for Setting up The Hospital Project Ajay Garg, 2023-12-08 Compared to other commercial buildings, hospital buildings are one of the most complex buildings/projects to plan, design, build, and operate. A well-planned set of all the activities involved in construction and setting up the hospital contributes a lot to reducing errors, avoiding modifications, completing a project on time, reducing the modification costs, decreasing or controlling infection rate, protecting patients and staff from injury, increase patient's recovery rate, and increase staff satisfaction. It is a fact that each hospital project department involves many individual departments, providing services, procurement of equipment, workforce recruitment, licensing, and establishing a set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Apart from this, it is necessary to start the particular activity well on time to make it a success in the scheduled period. If the start of the activity is delayed, it can delay the total project. It is noticed that the site engineer makes a lot of mistakes while setting up the departments. The reason for such mistakes can be like forgetting any particular activity, not completing the activity on time, etc. In this book, we have tried to address all such issues, detailed all the activities in a tabular form, and explained each activity in detail for the individual department of the hospital. The table also contains the columns to plan the start and end date of the activity. The table will also help assess the activity's progress and the person responsible for such activity. The book has been written keeping in mind the timely completion of all the activities involved in setting up and furnishing the hospital's departments. The book contains all such activities right from the initial setting up of the departments to the final inauguration of the hospital. This book is helpful to the designers, promoters, site engineers, architects, and engineers in planning the activity, its start and end, linking it with other activities, monitoring the activity, etc., well in advance. As the book is in very easily understandable English language, it may be a great help to students of Hospital Management, Para Medical Sciences, Architecture, Site Engineers, Site Supervisors, Hospital Promoters, Planners, and Designers. |
