Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the arrangement of patient rooms and multi-bed rooms as in Patent Documents 1 and 2, there is a problem that there is no space for patients to talk to each other, and it is difficult for patients to communicate with each other.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a hospital that ensures the privacy of patients and enables patients to communicate with each other easily.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following means. That is, the hospital according to the present invention includes a shared space provided with an external opening and a plurality of individual spaces used by patients arranged adjacent to the shared space, and the shared space and the individual spaces communicate with each other through an accessible internal opening, and has a multi-bed room.

[0007] In the hospital configured as described above, since individual spaces are provided separately from the shared space, the privacy of patients using the individual spaces is ensured. In addition, since the shared space and the individual spaces communicate with each other through an accessible internal opening, patients can communicate with other patients in the shared space by leaving the individual space through the internal opening. Since the shared space is provided with an external opening, daylighting of the shared space can be ensured. Since the shared space and the individual spaces are adjacent to each other, access between the individual space and the shared space is good.

[0008] In addition, in the hospital according to the present invention, a sliding door may be installed at the internal opening.

[0009] In the hospital configured as described above, a sliding door is installed at the internal opening between the shared space and the individual space. Therefore, if the sliding door is closed, the privacy of the individual space is ensured. In addition, if the sliding door is opened, a large effective opening of the internal opening is ensured.

[0010] In addition, in the hospital according to the present invention, a seatable chair may be installed in the shared space.

[0011] In the hospital configured as described above, a seatable chair is installed in the shared space. Therefore, patients can sit on the chair in the shared space and relax.

[0012] In addition, in the hospital according to the present invention, in plan view, the shared space is long in a first direction, the external opening is arranged on one side in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction of the shared space, and the individual space may be arranged on the other side in the second direction of the shared space.

[0013] In the hospital configured as described above, a plurality of individual spaces are arranged on the other side of the second direction of the shared space. Therefore, facility spaces such as the plumbing around the individual spaces can be aggregated on the other side of the second direction of the multi-bed ward, enabling aggregation of piping, aggregation of the under-floor area, and reduction of the risk of water leakage on the lower floor.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0016] Hereinafter, a hospital according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a hospital having a multi-bed ward according to an embodiment of the present invention. The multi-bed ward 1 according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is a part of the obstetrics and gynecology ward of the hospital. In the present embodiment, the multi-bed ward 1 is arranged adjacent to two rooms in the ward 10. Note that the multi-bed ward 1 of the present embodiment is not limited to the obstetrics and gynecology ward and may be installed in other departments such as the pediatric ward.

[0017] The multi-bed ward 1 is substantially rectangular in plan view. In the following description, the short side direction of the multi-bed ward 1 is defined as the X direction, and the long side direction is defined as the Y direction. The multi-bed wards 1 arranged adjacent in the X direction have a plan that is symmetric with respect to the X direction.

[0018] The outer wall portions 10A on both sides in the X direction and the outer wall portion 10C on one side in the Y direction (the upper side on the paper surface of FIG. 1) of the ward 10 face the outside. The inner wall portion 10D on the other side in the Y direction (the lower side on the paper surface of FIG. 1) of the multi-bed ward 1 faces the inside of another ward or the like.

[0019] On the outer wall portion 10A of the multi-bed room 1, a plurality of external openings 11 are provided. The external openings 11 are provided in plurality with intervals in the Y direction of the outer wall portion 10A. Fixtures such as windows for ensuring outdoor lighting are installed in the external openings 11.

[0020] On the inner wall portion 10D of the multi-bed room 1, a ward entrance 16 is provided. A single-slide door (sliding door) 17 is installed at the ward entrance 16. The single-slide door 17 is slidable in the X direction and can be retracted into a door pocket 18 provided in the inner wall portion 10D. The only opening through which it is possible to enter and exit the multi-bed room 1 from other spaces is the ward entrance 16.

[0021] The multi-bed room 1 includes a shared space 2 and individual spaces 3. In the present embodiment, in each multi-bed room 1, one shared space 2 is arranged and six individual spaces 3 are arranged.

[0022] The shared space 2 has a substantially rectangular shape with the Y direction (first direction) as the longitudinal direction in plan view. The shared space 2 is formed facing the ward entrance 16 of the inner wall portion 10D. In other words, when a user enters the multi-bed room 1, they open the single-slide door 17 installed at the ward entrance 16 and first enter the shared space 2. The shared space 2 is formed facing the external openings 11 of the outer wall portion 10A. Lighting from the external openings 11 is ensured within the shared space 2.

[0023] In the shared space 2, a chair 23 on which a patient can sit is installed along the outer wall portion 10A. The shared space 2 is used for purposes such as patients sitting on the chair 23 to communicate with each other, or visitors and patients of the patient sitting on the chair 23 to have a conversation.

[0024] A partition 20 is installed between the shared space 2 and the individual spaces 3. In other words, the shared space 2 and the individual spaces 3 are partitioned by the partition 20. The partition 20 is arranged along the Y direction. It is preferable that the effective width of the shared space 2 is 1.8 m or more.

[0025] In the shared space 2, an external opening 11 is arranged on one side in the X direction (second direction) (one side in the second direction), and a partition 20 is arranged on the other side in the X direction. A personal space 3 is arranged on the other side in the X direction further from the partition 20. In the shared space 2, the partition 20 and the outer wall portion 10A are arranged to face each other in the X direction.

[0026] The partition 20 is provided with an internal opening 21 through which one can enter and exit the personal space 3. Two sliding doors 22 are installed at the internal opening 21. The sliding doors 22 are slidable in the Y direction. The shared space 2 and the personal space 3 communicate with each other at the internal opening 21 when the sliding doors 22 are opened.

[0027] The partition 20 is formed with a wall portion 26 that protrudes convexly toward the shared space 2 side. The space surrounded by the wall portion 26 is a closet 31 within the personal space 3. The two sliding doors 22 can be retracted in front of the closet 31.

[0028] The personal space 3 is arranged adjacent to the shared space 2. A plurality of personal spaces 3 are arranged adjacent to each other in the Y direction. Each personal space 3 is surrounded on all sides by the partition 20 and wall portions 27 arranged in three directions, and is separated from the shared space 2 and other personal spaces 3. External openings are not provided on both sides of the personal space 3 in the X direction. An individual room external opening 12 is provided in the outer wall portion 10C only in the personal space 3A on one side in the Y direction (the side opposite to where the hospital room entrance 16 is arranged) of the personal space 3.

[0029] Inside the personal space 3, a main space 30 and a facility space 40 such as a plumbing area are formed. Furniture such as a bed and a counter is installed in the main space 30. A toilet 41 and a shower 42 are installed in the facility space 40. The facility space 40 is arranged to be concentrated at the center in the Y direction of the multi-bed room 1.

[0030] In the multi-story room 1 configured as described above, since the private space 3 is provided separately from the shared space 2, the privacy of the patients using the private space 3 is ensured. Also, since the shared space 2 and the private space 3 are connected by an accessible internal opening 21, patients can communicate with other patients in the shared space 2 by exiting the private space 3 through the internal opening 21. Since the external opening 11 is provided in the shared space 2, the lighting of the shared space 2 can be ensured. Since the shared space 2 and the private space 3 are adjacent to each other, the access between the private space 3 and the shared space 2 is good.

[0031] Also, a sliding door 22 is installed at the internal opening 21 between the shared space 2 and the private space 3. Therefore, if the sliding door 22 is closed, the privacy of the private space 3 is ensured. Also, if the sliding door 22 is opened, a large effective opening of the internal opening 21 is ensured.

[0032] Also, a seatable chair 23 is installed in the shared space 2. Therefore, patients can sit on the chair 23 in the shared space 2 and relax.

[0033] Also, the plurality of private spaces 3 are arranged on the other side in the X direction of the shared space 2. Therefore, the equipment spaces 40 such as the plumbing around the private space 3 can be aggregated on the other side in the X direction of the multi-story room 1, enabling the aggregation of piping, the aggregation of the underfloor area, and the reduction of the leakage risk on the lower floor.

[0034] Since the private spaces 3 other than the private space 3A are not provided with external openings, they are less affected by the external environment such as outside air and direct sunlight, and a stable living environment can be created.

[0035] Note that the various shapes, combinations, etc. of the constituent members shown in the above-described embodiments are merely examples, and various changes can be made based on design requirements and the like without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0036] For example, in the embodiment described above, the personal space 3 is arranged on one side (one side) of the shared space 2 that is substantially rectangular in plan view. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The personal space 3 may be arranged so as to surround two sides and three sides of the shared space 2.

[0037] Also, in the embodiment described above, the sliding door 22 is installed in the internal opening 21 that communicates the shared space 2 and the personal space 3. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Although the effective opening width can be greatly ensured by the sliding door 22, a folding door, a curtain, or the like may also be used.

[0038] Also, the multi-bed room 1 in the embodiment described above is installed in the maternity ward of a hospital. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The multi-bed room may be installed in a facility for the elderly, a welfare facility, or the like.

[0039] Also, in the embodiment described above, six personal spaces 3 are installed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Two or more personal spaces 3 may be installed.
