Abstract
The primary function within a hospital is administering care to patients. Physicians and nurses are the main caregivers within hospitals and since the establishment of the modern hospital institution. They are the main stakeholders in healthcare. Many studies have been done on the aspects of sustainable environment in hospitals and evidence-based design and this study will, according to the research set. We expounded on what constitutes a sustainable hospital refurbishment from stakeholders. Outline environmental strategies that can be employed to support hospital structural environments. We developed selected sets of design guidelines that can be employed in hospital design and planning to support sustainable and refurbished environments. This research is of significance to the domain of hospital planners and designers as it extends the knowledge base that currently exists in environmental strategies for hospital design and with special emphasis to warm and humid climate by the analyses of stakeholders as discussed in this study.
Highlights
Hospitals reflect a manifestation of the health care system and are in essence the spaces and institutions through which healthcare is administered to the public and are central to the process of healthcare
This research is of significance to the domain of hospital planners and designers as it extends the knowledge base that currently exists in environmental strategies for hospital design and with special emphasis to warm and humid climate
An emphasis will be placed on the four major strategies that were identified in the literature review and how they affect patient comfort and staff productivity. This goal will be attained through the development of the objectives stated below and accomplishment of tasks related to each project: 1. To examine current literature and to identify the levels to which environmental strategies are incorporated in hospitals and their importance for the patient’s health, well-being, safety, and operation of the facilities
Summary
Hospitals reflect a manifestation of the health care system and are in essence the spaces and institutions through which healthcare is administered to the public and are central to the process of healthcare As such, they contribute to a large extent, the health quality of the population through the services they offer. The process of healing in a hospital is departmentalized with every department providing care at a higher and supportive role to the previous These departments are mainly outpatient, diagnostic and treatment, inpatient, administration and service departments. The process of sustaining mainly revolves around the outpatient, diagnostic and treatment and the inpatient departments for the patient, physician, nurses and visitors These are the environments within which they operate through the process of healing to the patient. These are the environments within which they operate through the process of healing to the patient. [4]
