7Preface
Globally, healthcare systems are experiencing increasing fiscal, demographic and consumer pressure. There have been metamorphic changes in the recent past in the sphere of healthcare delivery. The planning, design and final architectural expression in healthcare is reflective of the gradual shift in outlook of healthcare institutions from merely treating the sick to a concerted approach to harness healthy living. This has been triggered by globalization, increased expectations of seekers and providers of healthcare, emphasis on ambulatory/daycare services, enhanced standards of care and the participation of private players in the health sector.
Hospitals are amongst the largest and most complex of all modern institutions. To add to these complexities are the major transformations that are occurring in the delivery of healthcare worldwide. It is thus essential that hospitals are planned and designed to meet the requirements of today and tomorrow. Winston Churchill had commented “first we shape our buildings and thereafter they shape us”. This is certainly true for hospital buildings.
The book “Modern Trends in Planning and Designing of Hospitals: Principles and Practice” provides a comprehensive and holistic view in planning and designing of hospitals. The existing best practices, emerging trends/concepts such as integrated healthcare facilities, value added services, green hospitals, healing architecture, life enhancing designs, assisted living facilities, patient focused architecture and humanizing environment have all been incorporated. The book has chapters on planning and designing of clinical, administrative, supportive services and facilities including inpatient, ambulatory, therapeutic, diagnostic and logistic support departments. Plan types, functional requirements, materials used, intra and inter departmental relationships, way finding, interiors, aesthetics, design trends, electrical systems, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, water, circulation, environmental, energy, interface and space requirements have also been deliberated. Chapters on facilities for the aged and the disabled have also been included. The text is amply and appropriately aided by diagrams, photographs, architectural drawings and engineering designs. A chapter “Ready Reckoner” has been incorporated which will provide the reader ready access to comprehensive information related to the planning and designing of hospitals.
This book will be a useful guide and reference source that will complement the functions of policy makers, academicians, hospital planners, architects, administrators, clinicians, engineers and students associated with planning, designing, construction, maintenance and administration of hospitals. It is authored by professionals who are also qualified, skilled and experienced hospital planners and administrators. The doctor-architect author team has complemented and supplemented each other to provide an integrated approach to all the issues related to the planning and designing of hospitals. The book would facilitate planning and designing of new hospitals as well as remodeling, renovating and retrofitting existing hospitals.
We hope that the book proves valuable to those for whom it is intended. Communication of suggestions and omissions, from our esteemed and revered readers will be of immense help in incorporating the same in the subsequent editions.
We greatly acknowledge the contributions of the various institutions, hospitals and consultants for permission to use their concepts, photographs, architectural drawings and engineering designs in the book. Their contributions have definitely enabled to make the principles and practice of hospitals planning and designing more easily comprehensible and implementable.
We also sincerely appreciate Mr. Sandeep Saxena in providing the excellent secretarial assistance and Mr. F.C. Luthra and Mr. Indresh Kumar Sinha for generating Auto CAD drawings in the compilation of the book. Our thanks to the well-knit team of Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers Pvt. Ltd under the dynamic and visionary leadership of their Chairman and Managing Director, Mr. Jitendar P. Vij for their quality adherence, professionalism and dedication. Their invaluable contribution in the completion of the book is gratefully acknowledged.
