Abstract:

Hospital environmental Design involves many subjects such as architecture, psychology and praxiology etc. Artworks in hospital broadly improve the environment for patients, staff and visitors. The paper puts forwards that art can considerably promote patients’ recovery, and has positive effect on staff morale and productivity. On the basis of analysis about valid art in hospitals on visuals, auditory and tactile sensation, the paper also discuses how to design artistic environment for different hospital space by using normal artworks such as painting works, live music and sculptures in viewpoint of an architect.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is three-fold: first, to assess nurse satisfaction levels with working environment (known as favourability) in five Greek public hospitals using the practice environment scale (PES); second, to compare perceptions among nurses employed in surgical and medical departments; and third, to examine relationships between perceptions and nurse educational level and experience. Design/methodology/approach In total, 532 nurses from five major public hospitals in Greece completed the PES. Descriptive statistics, t-tests and Spearman correlations were employed to analyse the data. Findings Nurses perceived their work settings as unfavourable in all five hospitals, with collegial nurse–physician relations emerging as the only positive factor. Compared to medical wards, surgical departments emerged as slightly more positive working environments. Work department notwithstanding, in some cases, education and experience levels affected their perceptions on management, poor care quality, limited nurse involvement in hospital affairs and nursing shortage. Practical implications Hospital managers do not provide sufficient support for Greek nurses in their working environments. Originality/value The authors attempted to evaluate nursing practice environments in Greek hospitals, viewed from nurse perspectives. The authors identified insufficient support for nurses’ working in these hospitals.

Abstract:

This study investigated the efficiency performance of the production technology of the Department of Health (DOH)-affiliated hospital system in Taiwan in different competitive environments. This study used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to analyze a total of 396 hospitals of different systems in Taiwan. The results indicated that, in terms of the internal competitive environment, the production performance of hospital Q was the best, while that of hospital N was the worst. This study also analyzed the production performance and scale of DOH-affiliated hospitals and provided hospitals with a direction for scale development. Finally, this study proposed suggestions on improvement direction for hospitals with poor production performance. As for external competitive environment, there is no significant difference in the average efficiency among various hospital systems. However, there are a lot to be improved in DOH-affiliated hospitals, especially in the aspect of technology efficiency. The improvement of technology efficiency should be more beneficial to the overall efficiency.

Abstract:

Background Cultivating hospital environments that support older people’s care is a national priority. Evidence on geriatric nursing practice environments, obtained from studies of registered nurses (RNs) in American teaching hospitals, may have limited applicability to Canada, where RNs and registered practical nurses (RPNs) care for older people in predominantly nonteaching hospitals. Purpose This study describes nurses’ perceptions of the overall quality of care for older people and the geriatric nursing practice environment (geriatric resources, interprofessional collaboration, and organizational value of older people’s care) and examines if these perceptions differ by professional designation and hospital teaching status. Methods A cross-sectional survey, using Dillman’s tailored design, that included Geriatric Institutional Assessment Profile subscales, was completed by 2005 Ontario RNs and registered practical nurses to assess their perceptions of the quality of care and geriatric nursing practice environment. Results Scores on the Geriatric Institutional Assessment Profile subscales averaged slightly above the midpoint except for geriatric resources which was slightly below. Registered practical nurses rated the quality of care and geriatric nursing practice environment higher than RNs; no significant differences were found by hospital teaching status. Conclusions Nurses’ perceptions of older people’s care and the geriatric nursing practice environment differ by professional designation but not hospital teaching status. Teaching and nonteaching hospitals should both be targeted for geriatric nursing practice environment improvement initiatives.

Abstract:

Pedagogical assistance in a hospital environment aims to continue the schooling of children who are hospitalized. In addition, it aims to develop activities that help in training and that help with school tasks during hospitalization. This article aims to publicize the hospital class as an inclusive teaching modality aimed at assisting children and adolescents while they are undergoing health treatment during the period of hospitalization. The bibliographical research presents a scenario about the hospital educational service in Brazil and in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, showing a growing percentage, however, insufficient of hospital classes to guarantee the right to education of sick children and adolescents.

Abstract:

Objectives: To qualitatively compare the influence of different ownership which is considered as a kind of institutional environment in public hospitals, private hospitals, and mixed-ownership hospitals on hospital governance structure and organizational behavior. Design: Qualitative descriptive study, using semi-structured, in-depth interviews and thematic template analysis, theoretically informed by critical realism. Participants: 27 key informants including national policymakers in charge of the health sector, influential researchers, local administrators responsible for implementing policies, and hospital managers who are experienced in institutional change. Results: Hospital ownership has a significant influence on hospitals in terms of decision-making power allocation, residual ownership allocation, market entry level, accountability, and social functions. These five aspects in hospital organizational structure incentivize hospitals to adapt to the internal and external environment of the hospital organization—such as market environment, governance, and financing arrangements—affect the behavior of the hospital organization, and ultimately affect the efficiency of hospital operation and quality of service. The incentives under the public system are relatively distorted. Private hospitals have poor performance in failing their social functions due to their insufficient development ability. Compared to them, mixed ownership hospitals have a better performance in terms of incentive mechanism and organizational development. Conclusion: Public hospitals should improve the governance environment and decision-making structure, so as to balance their implementation of social functions and achieve favorable organizational development. For private hospitals, in addition to the optimization of the policy environment, attempts should be made to strengthen their supervision. The development of mixed-ownership hospitals should be oriented towards socialized governance.

Abstract:

The aims of this systematic review are to determine the availability of healthy food and beverages in hospitals and identify interventions that positively influence the hospital food environment, thereby improving the dietary intake of employees and visitors. Embase, Medline, APA PsycInfo, Scopus, Google Scholar and Google were used to identify publications. Publications relating to the wider hospital food environment in the UK and USA were considered eligible, while those regarding food available to in-patients were excluded. Eligible publications (n = 40) were explored using a narrative synthesis. Risk of bias and research quality were assessed using the Quality Criteria Checklist for Primary Research. Although limited by the heterogeneity of study designs, this review concludes that the overall quality of hospital food environments varies. Educational, labelling, financial and choice architecture interventions were shown to improve the hospital food environment and/or dietary intake of consumers. Implementing pre-existing initiatives improved food environments, but multi-component interventions had some undesirable effects, such as reduced fruit and vegetable intake.

Abstract:

Abstract Functional decline is one of the main problems arising from the hospitalization of elderly persons. Hospital environments and policies focused on functionality are crucial for diminishing disabilities associated with hospitalization. This observational study was performed in four internal medicine services and aimed to evaluate the hospital environment and policies as an integral step in implementing the Function-Focused Care (FFC) programme being established in Portugal. The results of the hospital environment analysis suggest that design and product support, while present, are limited given the needs, complexities and specificities of hospitalized elderly persons. Policy evaluation indicated the existence of institutional projects that reflect a concern with functionality. However, more than half of the criteria evaluated need to be developed further in order to integrate the FFC programme. These results highlight that, while these services aim to be more "age-friendly environments", a number of initiatives can and should be undertaken in order to guide the FFC implementation process. This will benefit patients and their families, professionals and institutions.

Abstract:

Purpose As hospital operations are undergoing major changes, comprehensive methods are needed for evaluating the indoor environment quality (IEQ) and usability of workspaces in hospital buildings. The purpose of this paper is to present a framework of the characteristics that have an impact on the usability of work environments for hospital renovations, and to use this framework to illustrate the usability evaluation process in the real environment. Design/methodology/approach The usability of workspaces in hospital environments was evaluated in two hospitals, as an extension of the IEQ survey. The evaluation method was usability walk-through. The main aim was to determine the usability characteristics of hospital facility workspaces that support health, safety, good indoor air quality, and work flow. Findings The facilities and workspaces were evaluated by means of four main themes: orientation, layout solution, working conditions, and spaces for patients. The most significant usability flaws were cramped spaces, noise/acoustic problems, faulty ergonomics, and insufficient ventilation. Due to rooms being cramped, all furnishing directly caused functionality and safety problems in these spaces. Originality/value The paper proposes a framework that links different design characteristics to the usability of hospital workspaces that need renovation.

Full text

Abstract:

Purpose: The present study aims to contribute to current knowledge about nurses’ perceived importance of lighting in patient rooms and to compare these perceptions across different ages, work shifts, (day and night), and environments of care (traditional and contemporary). Background: Creating an environment of care in patient rooms that successfully balances energy efficiency concerns with the holistic needs of patients, families, and caregivers poses a major challenge for future lighting systems. This study adds to a growing evidence base on the effects of lighting on nurses’ job performance, job satisfaction, and overall perceptions of the environment. Method: Survey responses from 138 participants working in medical–surgical units in four hospitals were analyzed using a mixed-methods approach, with three of the hospitals having lighting systems characterized as providing a traditional environment of care (TEC) and the other hospital having lighting systems characterized as providing a contemporary environment of care (CEC). Results: No significant differences were found based on age or work shift, but several significant differences were found between participants working in the hospital with a CEC and those working in hospitals with a TEC. Participants from the hospital with a CEC lighting system consistently reported higher lighting quality, fewer patient complaints, and less need for supplemental lighting than the participants from the three hospitals with TEC lighting systems. Conclusion: The results of this study provide evidence that innovative lighting approaches and technologies are worth considering as an investment by hospital administrators looking to improve perceptions of the patient room environment.

Abstract:

Abstract Work motivation and satisfaction are core performance factors, of a broad complexity in healthcare. In spite of all economic, political, administrative, regulatory or bureaucratic adversities, there are public Romanian hospitals striving to perform at European level. Medical personnel dissatisfaction, and shortage due to migration are significant challenges for managers. Methodology: the main research question is whether motivation is a key factor in a public Romanian hospital oriented to clinical excellence, reflected by retention of medical staff and their professional satisfaction, and also perceived by their patients. Purpose: to analyze importance and level of job satisfaction of hospital personnel in relation with other motivation components given the rough environment of Romanian public healthcare system, and its reflection on patient satisfaction. The paper is based on two studies: professional satisfaction survey conducted among all 350 employees of the Clinical Hospital “St. Maria” Bucharest accredited for liver transplantation and achieving great clinical performance, based on a 21-questions semi-structured questionnaire. Second, a patient satisfaction survey conducted on a sample of 75 patients randomly selected from all 5 hospital departments, out of an average of approximately 230 patients per week, by applying on discharge day a questionnaire of 30 questions. Results: Great majority of our personnel appreciated as appropriate: their working conditions, communication and relationship with hierarchic boss and with hospital management team. 84.6% of medical and 90.5% of nonmedical personnel declared to be professionally very satisfied and satisfied in this hospital. Patient satisfaction analysis indicated that almost all respondents were informed by medical personnel about their conditions and rights, receiving explanations about treatment; 90% considered care received at a very good quality, except for food; 90.2% of respondents rated as very good the personnel kindness, availability, communication, information and care; 67,2% of patients stated as very satisfied and 23% satisfied with the medical care received, and all respondents would choose this hospital again if needed and even would recommend it to others. Conclusion: Anticipating their needs and motivating hospital personnel to achieve high performance is of great importance for managers and employees, by focusing on people and using appropriate tools even when no direct financial incentives are possible. Professional satisfaction has to be periodically measured, correlated with patient surveys and followed by specific actions for improvement and kept high, thus allowing climbing up to the best hospitals in Bucharest, despite significant challenges within Romanian public healthcare system. Our analysis showed the importance of job motivation and satisfaction in public hospitals, despite the rough environment, and reflection of work satisfaction on employees-patients relationship in terms of availability, communication, providing information and feedback, care, and choice/preference for future services. Thus, our research objectives were fulfilled.

Abstract:

Objective: The purpose of this research study was to link hospital environments to the quality of care and the associated cost of care by examining the relationship among hospital environments and healthcare employee engagement, turnover, illness and injury. Methods: This study used a multi-method research design and quantitative analysis of data sets from participating hospitals. Data included employee survey responses and human resource employee data provided by the hospital system. All statistical tests used an alpha level of .05. The analysis of the survey and human resource employee data tested for significant differences among employees at the participating hospitals; and used correlations and regression analysis to determine the direction and strength of the relationships where significant differences were evident. Results: Results from the survey indicated that perceptions of the built environment affect employee engagement and health and well-being up to 14%. Turnover and injury reductions were significant and resulted in substantial cost differences; $2.17M cost reduction based on the facility replaced and annual cost avoidance of $2.24M when compared to the two newer hospitals that were not Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the quality of the hospital environment has social, environmental, and cost implications that aligns with the intention of sustainable design as defined by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). Developing a built environment that supports productivity, efficiency, safety, and engagement contributes to the prosperity of the healthcare organization.

Abstract:

In response to research evidence, (predominantly research with adults) the need for artwork in healthcare environments is now regularly part of the initial design briefs for hospitals. The resulting artwork can be a collection of commissions; it can also be included as a seamless extension of the interior design concept. In the case of paediatric hospitals, it is unlikely that ‘art’ which is simply a graphic treatment applied to key surfaces throughout the hospital environment, could function in the ways that children and young people have identified in research as being valuable in their experience of hospitalisation. This one environmental attribute will be used to understand some of the key components of a hospital environment involved in children’s feeling of well-being from their perspectives.

Abstract:

This article discusses the chemical management of wastewater in hospitals. Liquid waste is all wastewater including feces originating from hospital activities which may contain pathogenic microorganisms, toxic chemicals and radioactive substances that are harmful to health. Therefore, the potential impact of hospital wastewater on public health is very large, so each hospital is required to treat its wastewater until it meets the applicable standard requirements. Good wastewater management is not only for sharp medical wastes but covers hospital waste as a whole. With the increasing number of health service facilities, it will result in an increasing potential for environmental pollution, because waste disposal activities, especially waste water, will contribute to decreasing the level of human health. Hospital waste is all waste generated from hospital activities in the form of solid, liquid and gas. It is better if hospital waste has a waste storage and treats the waste first before discharging it into the environment, so that the environment is not polluted and the government should build a monitoring system.

Abstract:

Abstract Indonesia, in an increasingly modern era of globalization, is also increasingly changing people’s lifestyles into entirely instant. The pattern of consuming fast food due to dense activities without considering the effects caused by these foods is one kind of modern lifestyle in Indonesia. Cancer is a disease that is quite malignant and feared by many people. In Jakarta, the prevalence is moderate for cancer, which is 1.9%, with the number of hospitals in West Jakarta, namely the hospital. Dharmais hospital, which is a national cancer centre in Jakarta. Therefore, due to limited hospital facilities and to help people living with cancer at the same time help provide temporary shelter while waiting for a therapeutic schedule at the hospital and also help cure cancer patients by applying the healing environment situation through this thesis entitled Planning a Cancer Shelter with Healing Approach Environment in the Dharmais hospital area, West Jakarta.

Abstract:

The article deals with important issues of the ecological approach to the health care facilities design within the general world's attention to the problem of sustainable development of the urban environment. Taking as the example the innovative foreign experience of implemented projects of medical institutions, as well as design, competitive and conceptual proposals revealed the latest idea of coexistence and harmonization of natural and man-made worlds within the medical environment that meets the challenges and needs of the XXI century. It is the concept of the hospital-park, that synthetically combines the architectural environment, natural environment, as well as man-made oasis and creates the basis for emergent results both in the medical field and in the need for a neat attitude to our planet. The article reveals the possibilities of designing a hospital-park of different stories and in different initial conditions: in a dense urban environment with a minimum size of the construction site, in suburban and peripheral areas of the city.

Abstract:

Since the COVID-19 epidemic, there has been an increased need for well-being and sustainable development, making biophilic design in hospital environments even more significant. However, after investigation, it was found that in many countries including China, the biophilic design of some hospitals is seriously absent, while other parts have the integration of biophilic design, but the standardization and recognition are not high. By restoring the interaction between buildings and nature, biophilic design improves the quality of environments and the health of users. The basic theoretical framework of environmental psychology is followed in this research. The health promotion mechanism, applicable natural features, and relative health advantages of hospital space and environment biophilic design are first investigated. Furthermore, according to the current status of biophilic design applications in the 12 hospitals that have the closest interaction between people and the environment. Combined with the professional and functional requirements of the healthcare spaces and the users’ special demands, we propose appropriate update design methods. The goal of this study was to present ideas for healthy and efficient space environment design and to inspire sustainable environmental design for future healthcare environments.

Abstract:

Purpose A multispecialty hospital possesses sustainable competitive advantage if it continuously improves performance, repeatedly delivers quality service and unique value to the patients and the sources of competitive advantage are valuable, rare, inimitable, non-substitutable or causally ambiguous. The term sustainable competitive advantage is vague and ambiguous and the environment in which hospitals operate is dynamic, turbulent and disruptive. Therefore, sources of competitive advantage must change and evolve with time. This paper aims to explore the themes of competitive advantage in a dynamic environment for multispecialty hospitals in India by studying data from secondary sources for five hospitals. Design/methodology/approach The findings of the case study were based on the analysis of secondary data that are extracted from the official websites of the hospitals, with the grounded theory approach. Findings Five identified themes are as follows: changing and adapting; clinical excellence; creating unique value; managing unpredictable circumstances and patient-centric approach. All the themes supported hospital performance, service and value delivered to patients and therefore may help in building a competitive advantage of the hospital. However, sustainability factors were inconsistent across the themes. Practical implications The CXOs and CMOs of hospitals can review the themes periodically and re-align the business strategies to build a sustainable competitive advantage. Originality/value The findings of the study uncovered the criticality of re-alignment of resources deployed in the unpredictable and ever-changing environment in which hospitals thrive to build sustainable competitive advantage.

Abstract:

Background and Purpose:The purpose of this article is to introduce a theoretical foundation, the healthcare environment theory (HET), tested in a quantitative, cross-sectional, overt observational study measuring the association of demographic variables with consistent hand hygiene compliance of the ICU nurse.Methods:Six environments found in a hospital ICU setting (family, church, work, administration, community, and culture) work bi-directionally to influence and be influenced by the nurse, simultaneously influencing each of the other environments in a multidirectional manner. The HET was used as the theoretical foundation for a study, which included a convenience sample of registered nurses (RNs) from five ICUs (64 participating RNs) in four hospitals in Texas who were observed for a total of 18 days (144 hours). The desired sample size of 613 hand hygiene opportunities for each ICU was obtained in 3 days of observation at 3 ICUs, 4 days in one ICU, and 5 days in one ICU. The six environments were used to support the results observed.Results:Through the variables of age and having children, hand hygiene rates were influenced by the family environment. Community environment was associated with a change in hand hygiene behavior in hospital hand hygiene rates in regards to age of the nurse. Younger nurses had higher hand hygiene compliance rates than older nurses.Implications for Practice:The different hospital environments surrounding the nurse can be used to explain hand hygiene compliance rates in association with demographic variables.
