Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to hospitals. [Background technology]

[0002] In hospitals, rooms used for different purposes, such as examination rooms, preparation rooms, and waiting rooms, are separated by walls or partitions, and patients move between the rooms via corridors (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2013-108212 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Because doctors and other hospital staff and patients enter and exit the examination room, the hallway leading to the examination room is used by both hospital staff and patients. When carrying medicines, used equipment, etc., hospital staff must be particularly careful to avoid contact with patients.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a hospital in which the flow lines of hospital personnel and patients can be separated. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the hospital of the present invention has a medical examination room, a first passageway adjacent to the medical examination room through which hospital personnel pass, and a second passageway adjacent to the medical examination room through which patients pass, the first passageway and the second passageway being arranged so that direct passage between them is not possible.

[0007] In the present invention, the first passageway used by hospital staff and the second passageway used by patients are positioned so that they cannot pass directly between each other, thereby separating the traffic routes of hospital staff and patients.

[0008] In the hospital according to the present invention, the first passage and the second passage may have floors of different colors.

[0009] This configuration makes it easier to distinguish between the first and second aisles, preventing hospital staff from mistakenly walking through the aisle for patients and preventing patients from mistakenly walking through the aisle for hospital staff.

[0010] In addition, in the hospital of the present invention, a first partition member may be provided between the first passageway and the examination room, and a second partition member may be provided between the second passageway and the examination room, and the first partition member may be provided with a transparent panel, and the second partition member may be provided with a translucent panel.

[0011] This configuration allows hospital personnel in the first passage to see the inside of the examination room, while preventing patients in the second passage from seeing into the examination room.

[0012] In addition, the hospital of the present invention may have a third passageway to which the first passageway and the second passageway are respectively connected, the examination room is surrounded by the first passageway, the second passageway, and the third passageway, and a third partition member is provided between the third passageway and the examination room, the examination room has a patient area where the patient stays, and a practitioner area provided adjacent to the patient area and where hospital staff who provide treatment can enter but the patient cannot enter, the patient area and the practitioner area are each provided along the third partition member, the patient area is located on the side close to the second passageway and the practitioner area is located on the side adjacent to the first passage, and the third partition member may be provided with a panel with a gradation that gradually changes from transparent to translucent from the side adjacent to the practitioner area to the side adjacent to the patient area.

[0013] With this configuration, hospital staff in the examination room can see the third passage, but the patient in the examination room cannot easily see the third passage. Effect of the Invention

[0014] According to the present invention, the flow lines of hospital personnel and patients can be separated. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0016] Hereinafter, a hospital according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The hospital according to the present embodiment shown in Fig. 1 is a dental university hospital, and has a clinical function for conducting clinical practice, a research function for conducting medical research, and an educational function for conducting medical education. Note that the hospital of the present invention also includes university hospitals, hospitals, and medical facilities other than dental university hospitals, as long as they have at least a clinical function.

[0017] In the hospital 1, a clinical area 11 where clinical functions are performed, a research area (not shown) where medical research is performed, and an education area (not shown) where medical education is performed are each provided separately. For example, the clinical area 11, the research area, and the education area may be provided separately on the same floor of the same building, on different floors of the same building, or in different buildings on the same premises.

[0018] A connecting street 2 (third passage) serving as a passage is provided in the clinical area 11. A consultation room 3 equipped with a plurality of consultation booths 31 is provided along one side of the connecting street 2, and a connecting street adjacent room 4 other than the examination room is provided along the other side of the connecting street 2. The rooms 4 adjacent to the Connecting Street include a dental laboratory, a storage room for storing medicines and instruments, a preparation room for preparing for clinical practice in the examination room 3, a training room for medical students to do their practical training, a teaching room for medical instruction, a laboratory for medical research, and a meeting room for holding meetings. Connecting Street 2 and Connecting Street Adjacent Room 4 are usually set up as spaces for hospital personnel to enter.

[0019] The length direction (direction of arrow A) along the connecting street 2 is referred to as the connecting street length direction or length direction, and the width direction (direction of arrow B in the figure) perpendicular to the connecting street length direction is referred to as the connecting street width direction or width direction. In FIG. 1, the connecting street 2 extends straight, but it may be bent or curved along the way. Also, two or more intersecting connecting streets 2 may be provided.

[0020] The examination booths 31 in the examination room 3 are arranged in a row along both the length and width of the connecting street. Between adjacent examination booths 31 in the length direction of the connecting street, an examination room passage 5 perpendicular to the connecting street 2 is provided. In other words, the examination room passage 5 is provided on both sides of the examination booth 31 in the length direction of the connecting street. There is no passage between adjacent examination booths 31 in the width direction of the connecting street, and a first partition 61 is provided to separate the examination booths 31.

[0021] The examination room passage 5 is divided into a first examination room passage 51 (first passage) through which hospital personnel pass, and a second examination room passage 52 (second passage) through which mainly patients pass. The first examination room passage 51 and the second examination room passage 52 are arranged alternately in the length direction of the connecting street. As a result, the first examination room passage 51 is provided on one side of the examination booth 31 in the length direction of the connecting street, and the second examination room passage 52 is provided on the other side. The examination booth 31 has entrances facing both the first examination room passage 51 and the second examination room passage 52.

[0022] Hospital personnel enter the examination booth 31 through the first examination room passage 51, and patients enter the examination booth 31 through the second examination room passage 52. The second examination room passage 52 is also used by hospital personnel pushing wheelchairs or stretchers carrying patients, hospital personnel assisting patients, and hospital personnel working in the second examination room passage 52, such as cleaning. The first examination room passage 51 and the second examination room passage 52 are arranged so that they cannot travel directly between each other. By arranging the first examination room passage 51 and the second examination room passage 52 in this way, the flow of hospital personnel and the flow of patients are separated. To access the second examination room passage 52 from the first examination room passage 51, it is designed to pass through the connecting street 2 or through the inside of the examination booth 31. The examination room 3 may be provided with a passage connecting the first examination room passage 51 and the second examination room passage 52.

[0023] The examination booth 31 is divided into a patient area 311 where an examination table on which the patient sits is installed, and a practitioner area 312 where desks, chairs, electronic devices, etc. used by practitioners such as dentists who perform the examination are installed. The patient area 311 and practitioner area 312 are not completely separated but are connected. The patient area 311 is provided on the side adjacent to the second examination room passage 52, and the practitioner area 312 is provided on the side adjacent to the first examination room passage 51.

[0024] In this embodiment, the floor color of the first examination room passage 51 and the floor color of the second examination room passage 52 are set to different colors. The floor color of the first examination room passage 51 is set to the same color as the floor color of the connecting street 2. The second examination room passage 52 is designed to be wide enough for wheelchairs and stretchers to pass through. The second examination room passage 52 is designed to be wider than the first examination room passage 51.

[0025] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a second partition 62 (first partition member) is provided between the first examination room passage 51 and the examination booth 31. The second partition 62 is about 1500 mm high from the floor. A transparent panel 621 (see Fig. 2; hereafter referred to as the transparent panel 621) is provided in a section of the second partition 62 that is 1200 mm or more above the floor. The transparent panel 621 is a panel such as glass or acrylic plate, and is configured so that one side and the other side can be seen through to each other. The first examination room passageway 51 through which hospital personnel pass and the examination booths 31 are designed so that people who are standing can see through the transparent panels 621.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, a third partition 63 (second partition member) is provided between the second examination room passage 52 and the examination booth 31. The third partition 63 is about 1500 mm high from the floor. The third partition 63 is provided with a semi-transparent panel 631 (see FIG. 3; hereinafter, referred to as the semi-transparent panel 631) at a portion 1200 mm or higher from the floor. The semi-transparent panel 631 is a panel such as glass or acrylic plate, and is configured so that light and human shadows can be seen on one side and the other side, but cannot be clearly seen. The semi-transparent panel 631 may be glass or acrylic plate manufactured to be semi-transparent, or may be a panel manufactured by attaching a semi-transparent sheet to the surface of transparent glass or acrylic plate. The second examination room passageway 52, through which patients mainly pass, and the examination booths 31 are designed not to be visible. However, it is possible to see light and people's shadows through the semi-transparent panel of the third partition 63.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, a fourth partition 64 (third partition member) is provided between the connecting street 2 and the examination booth 31 arranged adjacent to the connecting street 2. The fourth partition 64 is about 1500 mm high from the floor. The fourth partition 64 is provided with a panel 641 (hereinafter referred to as the gradation panel 641) with a gradation from transparent to semi-transparent in a portion 1200 mm or more from the floor. The gradation panel 641 is provided with a gradation that gradually changes from transparent to semi-transparent from the side adjacent to the first examination room passage 51 to the side adjacent to the second examination room passage 52. The transparent portion of the gradation panel 641 is configured so that one side and the other side can see each other. The semi-transparent portion of the gradation panel 641 is configured so that one side and the other side can see light and the shadow of a person, but cannot be clearly seen.

[0028] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the examination booth 31 is divided into a patient area 311 where an examination table on which the patient sits is installed, and a practitioner area 312 where desks, chairs, electronic devices, etc. used by practitioners such as dentists who perform the examination are installed. The patient area 311 and the practitioner area 312 are not completely separated but are connected to each other. The patient area 311 is provided on the side adjacent to the second examination room passage 52, and the practitioner area 312 is provided on the side adjacent to the first examination room passage 51. By arranging the patient area 311 in a position close to the second examination room passage 52 through which patients pass, and arranging the practitioner area 312 in a position close to the first examination room passage 51 through which hospital personnel pass, the movement line of patients and practitioners can be shortened.

[0029] As described above, in the examination booth 31 of this embodiment, the patient area 311 is provided on the side adjacent to the second examination room passage 52, and the practitioner area 312 is provided on the side adjacent to the first examination room passage 51. As a result, the portion of the gradation panel 641 between the patient area 311 and the connecting street 2 becomes semi-transparent, and the portion between the practitioner area 312 and the connecting street 2 becomes transparent. The connecting street 2 can be seen from the examination room 3, and vice versa, through the transparent portion of the gradation panel 641 of the fourth partition 64.

[0030] In addition to a passage space 21 for people to pass through, connecting street 2 also has a storage space 22 for storing items, a work space 23 for preparing for clinical practice and tidying up in examination room 3, and a meeting space 24 for holding meetings.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 and 5, the storage space 22 is located on the side in the width direction of the connecting street 2, and is provided with a storage cabinet 28 in which medicines, instruments, etc. can be stored.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1 and 5-7, the work space 23 is located at the middle and sides in the width direction of the connecting street 2. In the work space 23 located at the middle part in the width direction of the connecting street 2, a workbench 25 is provided. A work space 23 located on the widthwise side of the connecting street 2 is provided with a sink 26, a hand-washing basin 27, etc. The work bench 25 and the sink 26 are provided with a clean work bench and a clean sink for handling clean items, and an unclean work bench and a unclean sink for handling unclean items such as used utensils. The clean work bench and the clean sink, and the unclean work bench and the unclean sink are arranged with a predetermined distance between them.

[0033] A trash space 261 for placing a trash can is provided below the sink 26. The trash space 261 is provided with an exhaust port 262 at the back side, and is configured so that the sucked air passes through a duct under the floor and is discharged to the outside.

[0034] The meeting space 24 is provided in the middle of the connecting street 2 in the width direction. A meeting table 241 is provided in the meeting space 24. The meeting space 24 can be used for meetings on treatment plans, for instructing students undergoing practical training, and for meetings between researchers conducting research in the clinical area 11. The meeting space 24 may be provided for each purpose of the meeting.

[0035] Each space is not partitioned, and there is a passage space 21 between the storage space 22, the work space 23, and the meeting space 24.

[0036] The connecting street adjacent room 4 may be a space that is open to the connecting street 2 without a wall or partition between it and the connecting street 2 . In addition, the connecting street adjacent room 4 may be a space separated from the connecting street 2 by a wall or partition between the connecting street 2 and the connecting street 2. When a wall or partition is provided between the connecting street adjacent room 4 and the connecting street 2, an entrance / exit is provided for communication between the connecting street adjacent room 4 and the connecting street 2.

[0037] The walls and partitions may be fixed so as not to move, or may be movable. The height of the walls and partitions may also be set arbitrarily. The walls, partitions, and entrances may have openings that allow a view between the connecting street adjacent room 4 and the connecting street 2. In this way, the connecting street 2 can be seen from the connecting street adjacent room 4, and the connecting street 2 can be seen from the connecting street adjacent room 4.

[0038] Whether the connecting street adjacent room 4 is a space that is open to the connecting street 2 or a closed space may be appropriately set depending on the use of the connecting street adjacent room 4. For example, if the room 4 adjacent to the connecting street is a dental laboratory, storage room, preparation room, etc., a wall or partition can be installed between it and the connecting street 2, and if it is a meeting room, instruction room, etc., it can be an open space that is open to the connecting street 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, a wall is provided between the connecting street 2 and the connecting street adjacent room 4, which may be a storage room, a dental laboratory, or a preparation room, and a storage space 22 is provided in the connecting street 2 along this wall. A storage cabinet 28 is provided along the wall in the storage space 22. As a result, the storage cabinet 28 and the connecting street adjacent room 4 are adjacent to each other with the wall in between. An opening is provided in the wall at a position facing the storage cabinet 28. Storage facility 28 is provided with a storage space that can store items through an opening not only from connecting street 2 but also from connecting street adjacent room 4. This allows items stored in storage facility 28 from connecting street adjacent room 4 to be taken out from connecting street 2. Also, items stored in storage facility 28 from connecting street 2 can be taken out from connecting street adjacent room 4. For example, when replenishing items in storage 28 provided in Connecting Street 2, the items can be replenishing directly from the storage room (Connecting Street adjacent room 4) to storage 28. Also, a person in the dental laboratory can store items necessary for treatment, such as dentures made in the dental laboratory (Connecting Street adjacent room 4), directly in storage 28, and another person in Connecting Street 2 can pick up the dentures or other items from Connecting Street 2.

[0040] Next, the operation and effect of the hospital according to the above-mentioned embodiment will be described. In the hospital 1 according to the above embodiment, the first examination room passageway 51 (first passageway) through which hospital staff pass and the second examination room passageway 52 (second passageway) through which patients pass are positioned so that there is no direct traffic between them, thereby separating the traffic routes of hospital staff and patients.

[0041] In the hospital according to this embodiment, the first examination room passage 51 and the second examination room passage 52 have floors of different colors. This configuration makes it easier to distinguish between the first examination room passage 51 and the second examination room passage 52. This prevents hospital staff from mistakenly walking through the patient passage and prevents patients from mistakenly walking through the hospital staff passage.

[0042] In addition, in the hospital according to this embodiment, a second partition 62 (first partition member) is provided between the first examination room passage 51 and the examination room 3, and a third partition 63 (second partition member) is provided between the second examination room passage 52 and the examination room 3, with a transparent panel 621 provided in the second partition 62, and a translucent panel 631 provided in the third partition 63. With this configuration, the inside of the examination room 3 can be seen by hospital personnel in the first examination room passage 51. The inside of the examination room 3 can be prevented from being seen by patients in the second examination room passage 52.

[0043] In addition, the hospital according to this embodiment has a connecting street 2 (third passage) to which the first examination room passage 51 and the second examination room passage 52 are respectively connected, and the examination room 3 is surrounded by the first examination room passage 51, the second examination room passage 52, and the connecting street 2, and a fourth partition 64 (third partition member) is provided between the connecting street 2 and the examination room 3. The examination room 3 has a patient area 311 where patients stay, and a patient area 311 adjacent to the patient area 311 where treatment is performed without patients entering. and a medical practitioner area 312 where hospital staff enter, and the patient area 311 and the medical practitioner area 312 are each arranged along the fourth partition 64, with the patient area 311 on the side close to the second examination room passage 52 and the medical practitioner area 312 on the side adjacent to the first examination room passage 51, and the fourth partition 64 is provided with a gradation panel 641 which gradually becomes transparent to translucent from the side adjacent to the medical practitioner area 312 to the side adjacent to the patient area 311. With this configuration, hospital staff in examination room 3 can see the second examination room passage 52, but it is difficult for patients in examination room 3 to see the second examination room passage 52.

[0044] Although an embodiment of the hospital according to the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the first examination room passage 51 and the second examination room passage 52 have different floor colors. In contrast, the first examination room passage 51 and the second examination room passage 52 may have the same floor color. Also, the first examination room passage 51 and the second examination room passage 52 may have different wall colors, floor or wall patterns, etc.

[0045] In the hospital according to this embodiment, a second partition 62 is provided between the first examination room passage 51 and the examination room 3, a third partition 63 is provided between the second examination room passage 52 and the examination room 3, a transparent panel 621 is provided in the second partition 62, and a translucent panel 631 is provided in the third partition 63. However, the second partition 62 and the third partition 63 may have a form other than that described above. The dimensions of the second partition 62 and the third partition 63, the presence or absence of the transparent panel 621 and the translucent panel 631, and the positions at which the transparent panel 621 and the translucent panel 631 are provided may be set appropriately.

[0046] In the hospital according to this embodiment, a fourth partition 64 (third partition member) is provided between the connecting street 2 and the examination room 3, and the fourth partition 64 is provided with a gradation panel 641 that is gradually changed from transparent to semi-transparent from the side adjacent to the practitioner area 312 to the side adjacent to the patient area 311. On the other hand, the third partition 63 may have a form other than that described above. The fourth partition 64 may be provided with a transparent panel, or may be provided with a semi-transparent panel, or may be designed so that the examination room 3 and the connecting street 2 cannot be seen through to each other. By providing the fourth partition 64 with a transparent panel and allowing the examination room 3 and the connecting street 2 to be seen through to each other, the inside of the examination room 3 can be seen from the connecting street 2, and the connecting street 2 can be seen from inside the examination room 3. For example, a patient in examination room 3 can see a meeting or instruction taking place in meeting space 24 on connecting street 2, allowing the patient to know what is going on in hospital 1.

[0047] In the above embodiment, a connecting street 2 having a function other than passage is provided, but a passage for passage may be provided instead of the connecting street 2. In addition, the presence or absence of a connecting street adjacent room 4 adjacent to the connecting street 2 and its function may be other than those described above. [Explanation of symbols]
