Efficient And Cost-Saving Spaces
Even as contractors look into building hospital spaces to accommodate patients,
equipment, and staff, it is wise to come up with cost-effective and efficient layouts.
Distances between areas frequently used by staff should be small. Save on space by
combining functional units with similar requirements and ensure that there are no
redundant spaces in the building.
Additionally, constructors should install efficient logistics systems such as manual or
automatic carts, elevators, and pneumatic chutes to allow for efficient handling of
supplies, food, and trash. Closely related functional units such as the operating theatre
and the surgical intensive care unit should be adjacent to each other.
