Hospital Planning

HOSPITAL PLANNING
Dr. SWATI SAXENA

Introduction
• The last few decades have seen a spectacular
development in the health and hospital
consciousness across Bangladesh.
• Essential hospital service required for the
community, can be met most economically only
with adequate thought given to planning, design,
construction and operation of health care facilities.
• A design expert says, ‘ we have got to design
‘smart’ hospitals that respond to present needs
while anticipating future changes’.
Hospital Planning
• Planning is the forecasting and organizing the activities
required to achieve the desired goals.
• All successful hospitals, without exception are built on a
triad of good planning, good design & construction and
good administration.
• To be successful, a hospital requires a great deal of
preliminary study and planning.
• It must be designed to serve people.
• It must be staffed with competent and adequate number
of efficient doctors, nurses, and other professionals.
• A strong management essential for the daily functioning
of a facility; must be included in the plans of a new
hospital.
• Hospital building differs from other building types
in the complex functional relationship that exist
between the various parts of the hospital.
• Apart from providing right environment for
patients and care providers, it should also be
sensitive to the needs of visitors.
• It is thus imperative to examine the emerging
issues, analyze the challenges, appreciate the
emerging trends and study the various strategic
options available for planning, designing and
construction of a hospital.
Planning involves six questions:
• What we expect to do?

• Why it will be done?
• Where will it be done?
• When we expect to do it?
• Who all are going to do it?
• How will it be done?
Emerging Issues
Strategic Essentials
Healing Architecture: Architecture and design can promote the
healing process by giving patients a psychological and physical
lift.
Intelligent Building: A building that integrates technology and

process to create a facility that is safer, more comfortable and
productive for its occupants, and more operationally efficient for
its owners. Advanced technology—combined with improved
processes for design, construction and operations—provide a
superior indoor environment that improves occupant comfort
and productivity while reducing energy consumption and
operations staffing.
"Go Green" is a widely used term that can mean something

different to everyone. Going green is simply taking steps to
"conserve energy, reduce pollution and save money."
Impacting Factors
Hospital Designing
‘Form follows function’, is a principle associated with

modernist architecture and industrial design in the 20th
century. The principle is that the shape of a building or
object should be primarily based upon its intended
function or purpose.
Principle of Hospital Planning
Factors in Hospital Planning
• Community interest over individual interest.

• Preventive services over curative services.
• Services catering to the weaker sections of
the community.
• Rural over urban.
• Regionalized planning.
Hospitals must meet two basic
fundamental needs
• Must meet the needs of the patients it is

gong to serve adequately
• It must be in size and proportion which the
owner or promoters will be able to build
and operate
Guiding Principles for Hospital Planning
• High quality patient care

• Effective community orientation
• Economic viability
• Sound structural plan

Project Planning and Implementation
Resource Allocation
Financial Planning
• Fixed Cost: Funds required for construction,

furnishing and equipping the hospital.
• Recurrent Cost (Operating Funds): Salaries,
loans, and interest, other maintenance
expenses.
Resource Allocation
Plan for revenue generation: Patients fees, bed-charges,

and other models of revenue generation process
Land Acquisition
Ancillary care refers to the wide range of healthcare
services provided to support the work of a primary
physician. These services can be classified into three
categories: diagnostic, therapeutic, and custodial.
Diagnostic services include laboratory tests, radiology,
genetic testing, diagnostic imaging, and more.
Support services are departments within our hospital

which carry out much of the “behind the scenes” work.
The work carried out by these support services ranges
from providing food to patients, to maintaining a clean
and safe hospital, security etc.

Commissioning
Building commissioning:
- The process of verifying, in new construction, all of the
subsystems for mechanical , plumbing, electrical, fire/life
safety, building envelopes, interior systems, co-generation,
utility plants, sustainable systems, lighting, wastewater,
controls, and building security to achieve the owner's project
requirements as intended by the building owner and as
designed by the building architects and engineers.
- Process by which an equipment, facility, or plant (which is

installed, or is complete or near completion) is tested to verify if
it functions according to its design objectives or specifications.
Commissioning
Shakedown Period
Conclusion
• Technology requirement must be met.
• Clinical needs must be considered.
• Safety is a major factor.
• Standards and guidelines are essential.
• Importance of the role of Hospital Staffs in
construction and design must be
considered.
