DESIGN STRATEGIES OF RECONFIGURE EXISTING PATIENT ROOMS TO CONFORM WITH ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY STANDARDS AN APPLIED STUDY AT THE ONCOLOGY CENTER, MANSOURA UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The main aim of (establishing Environmental remedies) is healing and recovery of illnesses and getting rid of pains. If the patient got infected with diseases or exposed to dangers inside the hospital, this is considered a demolition of the main aim of establishing this hospital, so we must keep a safe environment, and Hospital design helps the safety of the patient directly through the reduction of transmission of infection or reducing the falling of patients, Or indirectly to the reduction of the noise, which may cause medical errors, Etc, The research focuses on patient's rooms, where a patient spends most of the time in the hospital inside the patient's room. The study concludes in determining the principles and criteria of achieving the environmental safety of the patient's rooms, with the need to integrate those standards in the design and development of patient's rooms in hospitals because of their role in reducing the possible risk of occurrence for patients. Accessible to those principles has been study some research studies to a strategy design of patient's rooms, and try to gain access to suitable design of the patient's rooms in accordance with environmental safety standards and the study of the internal environment of the room design, By defining design bases that help to reduce the transmission of infection, and standards for security and safety, as well the work of an applied complementary study to research study the theoretical to study the possibility of practical application of the standards of environmental safety patient's rooms general and specialized hospitals, with the review of most important reasons for choosing the sample under study.
