Abstract
|
|
|
|
Operating rooms planned and built today must be considered to have a working lifetime measured in decades. Predictions about the details of future ORs are neither accurate nor useful. However, principles can be followed to give any design a more successful working lifetime: Think about how practices have changed over the last ten years and then consider how design can accommodate a like amount of change. Flexibility is fundamental to robust design. Participation in future technologies should be phased. Surgery Department become old and must modernize in order to improve the quality of patient care. Regardless of the age of a facility, healthcare facilities must continually change in order to meet patient demands, support new procedures and technologies, and remain competitive.
