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).

[0003] In hospitals such as university hospitals that have medical research and education functions in addition to clinical examinations and treatments, rooms are provided for each function, and each room is connected by a corridor. In the clinical area, in addition to the rooms where actual clinical practice is carried out, such as examination rooms and treatment rooms, many other rooms such as preparation rooms and storerooms are provided, so corridors are provided to connect these rooms.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2013-108212 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] In clinical settings, it is expected that there will be a lot of traffic between rooms through corridors. In addition, medical students and medical researchers often visit clinical areas for training and research. For this reason, corridors in clinical areas have a lot of traffic.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a hospital that can effectively utilize aisle spaces. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objective, the hospital of the present invention has a consultation room where medical treatment is performed, and a connecting street that serves as a passageway connecting the consultation room to other rooms, the consultation room being located along the connecting street, and the connecting street being provided with at least one of a storage space for storing items, a work space for preparing for and tidying up clinical treatment in the consultation room, and a meeting space for holding meetings.

[0008] In the present invention, the connecting street, which is a passageway connecting the examination room to other rooms, can be used for purposes other than as a passageway, and can be effectively utilized. The connecting street connected to the examination room can be used for storing items, preparing and cleaning up clinical practice in the examination room, and holding meetings. By accessing the connecting street from the examination room, tasks such as securing and retrieving items, preparing and cleaning up clinical practice, and holding meetings can be easily performed. Therefore, compared to performing tasks or holding meetings in other rooms away from the examination room, there is less movement required, and work can be performed more efficiently. In addition, if a meeting space is provided in the connecting street, students receiving medical education in the clinical setting (examination room) and researchers conducting medical research can use this meeting space to communicate with hospital personnel conducting clinical practice.

[0009] In the hospital according to the present invention, the connecting street may be visible from the examination room, and the examination room may be visible from the connecting street.

[0010] With this configuration, it is possible to carry out work or meetings on the connecting street while viewing the inside of the examination room. Also, work or meetings taking place on the connecting street can be viewed from inside the examination room.

[0011] In addition, in the hospital of the present invention, a connecting street adjacent room is provided adjacent to the connecting street, and the connecting street adjacent room may be at least one of a storage room for storing items, a preparation room for making clinical preparations in the examination room, a work room for performing work related to medical treatment, a training room for performing medical training, a teaching room for providing medical guidance, and a meeting room for holding meetings.

[0012] With this configuration, tasks and meetings such as securing and removing items, and clinical preparation and tidying up can be carried out in both the connecting street and the room adjacent to the connecting street. For example, the security items used in the connecting street may be stored in a storage space in the connecting street, and other items may be stored in the room adjacent to the connecting street, which serves as a storage room. Also, short-term preparations, meetings, and instruction may be carried out in the work space or meeting space in the connecting street, and long-term preparations, meetings, and instruction may be carried out in the room adjacent to the connecting street, which serves as a preparation room, work room, instruction room, or meeting room. In this way, the location can be selected according to the purpose and the work content.

[0013] In the hospital according to the present invention, the connecting street may be visible from a room adjacent to the connecting street, and the room adjacent to the connecting street may be visible from the connecting street.

[0014] With this configuration, it is possible to carry out work or meetings on the connecting street while viewing the interior of the room adjacent to the connecting street. Also, it is possible to view work or meetings taking place on the connecting street from inside the room adjacent to the connecting street.

[0015] In the hospital according to the present invention, the room adjacent to the connecting street may be a space that is open to the connecting street.

[0016] With this configuration, it is possible to carry out work or meetings in a room adjacent to the connecting street while keeping a view of the connecting street.

[0017] In addition, in the hospital of the present invention, a storage facility for storing items may be provided between the room adjacent to the connecting street and the connecting street, and the storage facility may be provided with storage space that can be used from both the room adjacent to the connecting street and the connecting street.

[0018] With this configuration, items that are stored, created, or prepared in the room adjacent to the connecting street can be received at the connecting street via the storage. Also, items that are used in the examination room or the connecting street and stored or processed in the room adjacent to the connecting street can be received at the room adjacent to the connecting street via the storage. Effect of the Invention

[0019] According to the present invention, the space that serves as the passage can be effectively utilized. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0021] Hereinafter, a hospital according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a dental university hospital that 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 and an educational function.

[0022] 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.

[0023] The clinical area 11 is provided with a connecting street 2 that serves as a passageway. Along one side of the connecting street 2, a consultation room 3 equipped with a plurality of consultation booths 31 is provided, and along the other side of the connecting street 2, a room 4 adjacent to the connecting street that is not a consultation room is provided. 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 where hospital personnel can enter.

[0024] 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.

[0025] 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.

[0026] The examination room passage 5 is divided into a first examination room passage 51 through which hospital personnel pass, and a second examination room passage 52 through which patients mainly 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.

[0027] 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.

[0028] 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.

[0029] 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.

[0030] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a second partition 62 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 higher from the floor. The transparent panel 621 is a panel made of glass, acrylic board, or the like, 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.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, a third partition 63 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. A semi-transparent panel 631 (see FIG. 3; hereinafter, referred to as the semi-transparent panel 631) is provided in a portion of the third partition 63 that is 1200 mm or higher from the floor. The semi-transparent panel 631 is a panel such as glass or acrylic plate, and is configured such that light and a person's shadow 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.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, a fourth partition 64 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.

[0033] 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.

[0034] 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.

[0035] 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.

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.

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] 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.

[0041] 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.

[0042] 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.

[0043] 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.

[0044] 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.
