Designing of OPD and day care services

1. Designing of OPD and Day Care Services Presented by: Siddharth Singh PGDM (HEAD) Inlead

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.

8. 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 0.8 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 area to the consultation room should be short Toilets should be close

9. 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.

10. Day Care Center features and spaces required Features Minimum Desired Parking Space for one vehicle with outside lighting Area approx. 3 x 6 m Parking for five vehicles or more with covered route to front door Area approx. 12 x 6 m plus circulation Front Entrance Access ramp for wheelchairs Entrance lobby Area approx. 2.0 x 2.5 m, say 5 sq. Entrance hall Area variable Internal Circulation Space Internal circulation spaces, with safety precautions Areas variable Rooms Main room for general activities Area approx. 6 x 8m = approx. 50 sqm. Office (for occasional use for counselling) Area approx. 2.5 x 3 m = approx. 8 sqm. Staff room Area approx 3 x 3.5 m = approx 11 sqm

11. Features Minimum Desired Toilets 2 Toilets Area each approx. 1.5 x 2 m = 3 sqm. Say 6 sqm. for 2 toilets 1 Staff toilet Area approx. 1.5 x 2 m = approx. 3 sqm. Storage Storage cupboards or spaces •occupational therapy equipment •linen and spare clothing •medicines and medical equipment •wheelchairs •office materials Total area say 8-10 sqm Storage rooms Total area approx. 15-20 sqm. Cleaner’s Cupboard Cleaners’ cupboard Area approx. 1 x 2m = approx. 2 sqm Cleaners’ room with sink Area approx. 2 x 2 m = approx. 4 sqm Garden Small courtyard or garden Area variable, say 15 sqm (minimum) Garden with space for clients to wander with safety Area variable, e.g.s 6 x 15 m = approx. 100 sqm

12. 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 C are Center is done according to the specialization (it is a process driven approach).
