Designing a very different hospital.

ABSTRACT

Hospital design has stagnated. New directions are possible, exploiting and extending 100% single rooms to provide total operational flexibility where any bed can be used for any patient. The provision of a truly therapeutic environment meets the test of getting a good night's sleep. The provision of an intelligent assistive environment brings data accuracy and real-time meta-management of all patients in the hospital. All clinicians can see how all patients are progressing clinically and feeling subjectively.
