The adaptability of the hospital room to emergency conditions to manage the patient in the different levels of care intensity directly from the bed (ensuring safety and less stress for transfers) involves the integration of the technological support in the flooring/ceiling/walls of the room. This technological support for the patient includes monit...
A common feature of the different adaptable room solutions is to consider the characteristics of the space that can reduce the factors of ‘stress-inducing’ and emphasize those of ‘stress-reducing’, in order to offer users healthy and welcoming environments. The approach to care through patient-centred model has influenced not only the modalities of...
Implementation of flexible solutions for the adaptation of patient room to the different level of care leads to new solutions on the position of the nurse station. The traditional centralized nurse station – an operational model where all support spaces needed for nurses to carry out their tasks are located at one spot on a physical inpatient unit ...
