Research on Influence of Room Layouts on Hospital Bed Management

本研究通过对某重新设计的医院的前后对比，描述了不同比例的单间和多间病房的环境和病床管理的差异。该调查还考虑了护理活动和厕所支持。结果表明，房间布局会改变床控的难易程度。每个单位的床位数量少，表明在工作人员站附近不需要收治需要高水平护理的病人。每个房间的厕所鼓励患者早起，减少护士的厕所支持活动。本报告将更深入地探讨单人床比例高的病房的效果。

This study describes the differences in environment and hospital bed management in 2 wards which have different ratios of single- and multiple-occupancy rooms on the basis of a before- after comparison in a redesigned hospital. The survey also took into account nursing activities and toilet support. The results indicated that room layouts could change the ease of bed control. Small number of beds per unit showed a tendency no need to admit patients requiring a high level of nursing care near the staff station. Toilet for each room encouraged patients' early rising and reduced nurses' toilet support activities. This presentation will provide a closer examination of the effects of a ward which has a high ratio of single bed room.
