The changing economic environment in health care is pushing the health care construction industry to produce facilities which support improvements in patient care, patient experience, patient safety, staff satisfaction, and financial outcomes. The successful design, construction, and operation of a new or renovated intensive care unit (ICU) requires the participation of intensive care nurses to achieve success. A partnership between the architect and nurse, definition of the desired operational processes, and knowledge of evidence-based design are the foundations of good design. Hospital executives who support the participation of nurses in ICU facility projects will gain an efficient and safe intensive care facility.
医疗保健领域不断变化的经济环境正促使医疗保健建筑行业建造出能支持改善患者护理、患者体验、患者安全、员工满意度和财务成果的设施。新建或翻新重症监护病房(ICU)的成功设计、建造和运营需要重症监护护士的参与才能实现。建筑师与护士之间的合作、对理想运营流程的定义以及循证设计知识是良好设计的基础。支持护士参与ICU设施项目的医院管理人员将获得一个高效且安全的重症监护设施。
