A new design model for intensive and intermediate healthcare facilities has been developed for a hospital in Finland, according to an article on the Science Daily website.
Evidence-based design practices and user-orientation were applied to the resulting design.
The results will be seen when Finland's first single-patient intensive and intermediate care and cardiac unit becomes operational in 2018.
The design was developed at Seinäjoki Central Hospital. The new intensive and intermediate care unit will feature 24 single patient rooms. The operations are expected to be more efficient when the equipment and nursing staff are concentrated in one place.
