HCS 446 Week 3 Facility Planning-Floor Plan Part 1
Health care facilities are unique and have clearly defined
characteristics based on the needs of the facility or population being
served. Poor design may lead to staff, visitor, or patient stress. In
large facilities, inability to find a department may lead to
frustrations and disorientation for older patients. Poor layout may
also lead to staff inefficiencies or fines because of failure to meet
regulatory requirements.
