The Design Should Allow For Controlled Movements
Hospitals are characterized by the constant flow of goods and
people, and this is a significant factor to consider when putting up
a hospital building. Out-patients pathways should be defined and
the visitors' routes should direct them to the nursing units without
causing distractions to other units in the building. The movement
of clean supplies and food should be on a separate path from that
of soiled materials and trash. The inflow and outflow materials
should also be separated from the visitors’ and patients’ pathways.
Additionally, the transfers of cadavers to and from the morgue
should not be seen by the visitors and patients.
