Abstract
Questionares were sent to the general hospitals having SPD functions and 65 hospitals (77 nursing units in total) answered. In reviewing the answers, we found that only 8 nursing units (10.4%) were employing the material management system suited for the actual floor plans. Seven (7) nursing units with multiple sub-nursing stations were selected for interview. We asked the architects who designed the floor plans to attend the visits with us. Based on the answers to the questionares and on the further study from the visits, we worked out a guideline for the planning of the material management systems suited for the inpatient wards with multiple sub-nursing stations.
