Design Concept 1 Zero Patient Falls
Many of places that people go for relaxation. Choosing a familiar place of relaxation and transferring that experience to the patient helps, reduce stress and injury in a hospital.
Dimension Plan
The main focus in this project is reducing the fall in patient room by consideration different aspects; such as avoiding swinging door in bathroom and using wider opening and provide sliding door, adjustable toilet seat, exploring over bed table design and IV Pole and reducing the turning, grabbing, pushing and pulling (Pati, et al , 2015)
Mirror Plan
The advice was using pale colors (Devlin, et al., 2003) and avoiding to use white color because white color have different impact in people under the condition sensitive in their environment (Dijkstra, et al , 2008)
Ceiling Plan
Using SmartCells recommended to reduce if happened(Tideiksaar (Knoefel et al. SmartCells can use and bathroom.
