In this guide, we are showcasing the importance of key parameters in hospital design, how Gyproc drywalls and ceilings cater to those design requirements, various solutions and services from us that would help you build a hospital that promotes patient and sta comfort.

INTRODUCTION

Providing universal quality healthcare access to all citizens is the need of the hour. Across the world, the healthcare sector needs many more healing spaces to impart quality healthcare to meet the guidelines defined by the World Health Organization on the number of hospital beds per thousand people. A healing space invokes themes of healthy neighborhood, modern care, sustainable development and quality design. Healthcare architecture draws a true line to the purpose of healing. There is now a need more than ever, for new hospitals as per globally recognized standards.

Design Hospitals that touch lives

In healthcare facilities, there are two main groups: Care Givers and Care Recipients. The sta needs to concentrate on examinations and procedures that often include the use of loud medical equipment. Care recipients on the other hand need a peaceful environment where they can sleep and recover. Hospital facility should be designed in a way that they reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, improve the post-operative course, reduce the need for pain medication and shorten the hospital stay . Realizing that each area in a hospital deserves its own consideration, the compendium below, gives an idea of the requirements:

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Designing comfortable healing spaces requires an understanding of the inherent requirements in the healthcare sector. In this section, lets understand the key aspects of hospital design and utilize them in building new age hospitals for better patient healing and sta performance.

A SECURE HEALING SPACE

Fire Safety is an important part of healthcare facility design considering the recent times have witnessed numerous hospital fire accidents. Safety in healthcare building is related to specific requirements and standards, especially concerning fire risk.

• Fire Hazard can be devastating for patients as they have limited mobility in case of evacuation (Operation rooms, intensive care etc.)

• Beyond the human casualties, a fire is often also a financial disaster for a hospital, due to the loss of the expensive equipments.

PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION is built into the superstructure of a building and helps contain and prevent the spread of fire and associated damage, while the use of appropriate interior construction materials and compartmentation enable people to safely evacuate the building and allow firefighting measures to commence as e ectively and safely as possible.

COMPARTMENTATION

The spread of fire within a building can be restricted by sub-dividing it into compartments separated from one another by walls and/or floors of fire resisting construction.

The objectives are two fold:

•

To prevent rapid fire spread which could trap occupants in the building

•

To reduce the chances of fires becoming large, which are more dangerous not only to occupants and fire service personnel, but also to people in the vicinity of the building.

As per National Building Code (NBC) India - Part 4 Fire and Life Safety

Any section of the building more than 750 Sqm shall be suitably compartmented with fire resistance of not less than 2 hrs.

As per National Disaster Management guidelines for Hospital.

Sub-compartments are needed if the compartment accommodates more than 30 patients one time.

All floors shall be compartmented/zoned with area of each compartment being not more than 750 m2 – Without Sprinkler System, 1800 m2 – With Sprinkler System, 100 m2 – Laboratories Area

Test criteria for Partitions

Load-bearing Capacity/ Stability

Failure occurs when the specimen collapses under load Integrity

Failure occurs when the specimen develops cracks or openings through which flames or hot gases can pass Insulation

Failure occurs when the temperature of the unexposed surface of the specimen reaches a certain level

Standards followed for fire performance

• •

BS 476 (4,6,7,11) : Fire tests on building materials

BS Part 20 : Methods for determination of the fire resistance of elements of construction (General Principles)

•

BS Part 22 : Methods of determination of the fire resistance of non-load bearing elements of construction

A PEACEFUL HEALING SPACE

Good acoustic design is fundamental to the quality of healthcare buildings. Patients require a peaceful atmosphere to support their physiological and psychological well-being and recovery. Medical sta are also more e ective in calm conditions. Yet the constant beeping of medical equipment, alarms, telephones, and trolley and bed movements compounded by visitor interaction and sta conversations, mean that hospital environments are naturally noisy.

A Good Sound Environment in a Hospital:

• Helps Lower Blood Pressure

• Improves quality of sleep

• Improves Communication

Design Noise Free Hospitals

Designers can use HTM 56 Standards for selecting level of sound insulation required between adjacent spaces. The matrix of activity spaces in following Table has been compiled to assist you in determining a suitable sound insulation grade for some common partition situations in Healthcare areas. These relate only to the partition between any two adjacent spaces

Acoustic requirement - HTM 56

In a hospital premise there are two ways to achieve Acoustic comfort:

Sound Absoption (Refer fig 1)

It is the term given to the loss of sound energy when sound waves strike a surface.

Type of material Absorption

Mineral Fibre tiles 0.5 NRC (50% Sound Absorption)

Gyptone 0.7 NRC (70% Sound Absorption)

Ecophon 0.9 NRC (90% Sound Absorption)

Sound Insulation (Refer fig 2)

It is the term describing the reduction of sound which passes between two spaces separated by a dividing element (wall). The sound energy may pass through the dividing element (direct transmission) and through the surrounding structures (Indirect or flanking transmission).

A HEALTHY HEALING SPACE

A Healthy hospital is defined by the quality of air in the indoor environment. Indoor air quality includes the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of air in the indoor environment.

A Good Indoor Air Quality in hospitals ensures:

For Patients

Relief from Sick Building Syndrome

Reduced allergic reactions

Reduced eye, nose, throat irritation

Avoids drowsiness or discomfort

Enhanced Productivity

Reduced absenteeism

Healthy hospital design needs to incorporate solutions that help reduce harmful indoor air pollutants. This could be achieved by adopting building materials that helps maintain good indoor air quality.

A HYGIENIC HEALING SPACE

Hygiene is defined as the conditions or practices conducive to maintaining health and preventing diseases. Maintenance of hygiene and cleanliness of healthcare facilities reduces the incidence of Hospital acquired infections. As the world responds to new health threats, healthcare facilities must rise to meet increased demands for cleanliness and patient comfort. Cleanliness of a hospital also plays a major role in patient perception of the healthcare setting, and consequently of patient satisfaction. Clean Care is Safer Care. A very important aspect of hospital interiors that is overlooked usually, are wet areas. Wet areas, including bathrooms, toilets etc, need to be robust because they are normally the high use areas. Hygiene in wet areas hence, becomes critical with respect to providing a safer environment that can prevent infections.

Healthcare facility designers must also adjust to these demands with the spaces they create and the products they specify. Going forward, both building design and maintenance needs to have an even greater focus on safeguarding against infection and contamination. This includes a stronger emphasis on cleaning and disinfecting surfaces that do not allow the propagation of harmful micro-organisms. Hence it is a need of the hour to adopt building materials that are easy to clean and maintain, resists microbial growth and are safe to use.

While designing a hospital, the building should adhere to using materials that satisfy critical parameters, such as:

Resistance to Microbial Growth

Moisture Resistance Easy to Clean & Maintain

Resistance to Termite

A DURABLE HEALING SPACE

Most areas within healthcare buildings, due to their very nature, are subject to intensive use which can result in significant damage to interiors. Unplanned maintenance in healthcare building can be disruptive to critical areas in the premise.

Hospital facilities are subject to major movement of people and of all sorts of equipment: stretchers, beds, wheelchairs, trolleys etc. This repeated circulation may lead to physical damage and leave visible impact on the walls of corridors and rooms. Hence, choice of durable material in designing internal areas has a significant impact on overall cost and it also leads to more predictable maintenance cycles

Another very important aspect of durability is termite resistance. Hospitals that use ply for partitioning purposes experience hygiene, aesthetic and downtime related challenges, since ply is not termite resistant. Hence it becomes critical to ensure durability of the partitions used, by adopting technologies that ensure termite resistance.

LOADING SOLUTIONS

Designing every area in a hospital premise has its specific purpose that integrates functional requirements with respect to loading on walls. Depending on the room type, numerous factors contribute to wall designing–storage cabinets, LEDs/LCDs, mirrors, cupboards, medical equipment's etc. Whether it’s a planned or unplanned loading, this aspect of design in hospital become inevitable.

Loading can be of two types:

Planned loading –

Planned loading is done through heavy weight fixtures which are planned during the design stage and depends on the weight per linear meter. A ply backing is needed between the studs to support the loading items fixed with customized cavity toggles

SERVICE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS WET AREA SOLUTIONS

Healthcare buildings have challenging needs of passing various services like cables, electrical wiring, switch boxes, conduits, pipes for oxygen, and other gases through internal walls. Due to the presence of a cavity, concealing these services inside drywalls is much more convenient. Additionally, future maintenance is also vastly easier with drywalls. The system is designed to allow passage through the walls, sometimes across the length of the entire building too.

Maintaining optimal hygiene quality is of paramount importance in the And wet areas like toilets, washrooms, etc., is one of the most critical requirements - ledge/plumbing (bathroom), vanity & marble cladding, help of customized drywall systems, thereby imparting a stress-free repairing
