Abstract

[For constructing an efficient hospital, we require some guiding principles and to go through a series of phases in planning and designing of hospital. Principles and phases to be followed are selection and purchase of the site (land); early employment of the architect; functional and operational plan prepared before the architectural plan; schematic designing and drawing of initial and rough outline; preliminary allocation of the spaces and room layouts; construction documents for estimating costs; planning of construction activities; planning of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services; construction of hospital building step-by-step; working out the requirement, configuration, and technical specification of equipment; planning of manpower; finalizing the SOPs, rules and regulations, rate list, etc.; and testing of equipment. Services, training of staff, and disinfection of hospital should be ensured before the opening of the hospital. Hospital must be planned for the future. Do not hurry up the planning stage. Every detail should be complete. Planning and design of hospitals generally use benchmarks and experience without rigorous analysis of processes, resources, and facility requirements. Building a hospital is one of the most complex projects to plan, design, and build, and quality of planning and designing has a long-term impact on the performance of the hospital. Once planned and designed, the project is executed in different phases as discussed above.]
