Question

Imagine that you are an engineer and you are assigned to design a facility for
COVID 19 patient. In a separate sheet of paper draw your design and discuss
how did you come up with this design​

Answer 1

Answer:

here is the answer and also give my answer too please .

Explanation:

Recent attention in health care has been on the actual architectural design of a hospital facility, including its technology and equipment, and its effect on patient safety. To address the problems of errors in health care and serious safety issues, fundamental changes of health care processes, culture, and the physical environment are necessary and need to be aligned, so that the caregivers and the resources that support them are set up for enabling safe care. The facility design of the hospital, with its equipment and technology, has not historically considered the impact on the quality and safety of patients, yet billions of dollars are and will be invested annually in health care facilities. This provides a unique opportunity to use current and emerging evidence to improve the physical environment in which nurses and other caregivers work, and thus improve both nurse and patient outcomes.

Answer 2

Answer:

It will be a very challenging task because of the high transmission rate of COVID-19.

Explanation:

The specific safety design principles, intended to specifically address both latent conditions and active failures, included the following:

• Automate where possible.
• Design to prevent adverse events (e.g., patient falls, operative/postoperative complications and infections, and deaths associated with restraint use).
• Design for scalability, adaptability, and flexibility.
• Place accessibility of information in close proximity to the patient
• Improve visibility of patients to staff.
• Involve patients in their care.
• Minimize fatigue of staff.
• Minimize patient transfers/handoffs.
• Reduce noise.
• Standardize.

These principles were substantiated by using failure mode and effects analysis throughout the design process, involving patients/families, and instituting an organizational culture of safety, these principles would enable designs that would support the anticipation, identification, and prevention of adverse events.
