A Facilities Planning and Design of Patient Rooms for a Philippine Private Tertiary Hospital

In today's healthcare environment, patient experience and healthcare provider experience has been valued as integral components to the strategic advancement of hospitals. Expanding on this concept, a private tertiary hospital in the Philippines plans to design an expansion layout that optimizes the patient room capacity while considering overall experience and ergonomic considerations. This stems from the complaints received based on their current facilities, having a gap rating of 1.53. The study focuses on assessing and improving the layout and physical environment of private patient rooms for the upcoming hospital expansion, emphasizing on two existing patient room types: regular and large-sized rooms. Additionally, it addresses the new layout for the new patient rooms in the expansion wing. The primary objective is to design a layout for the patient room and expansion wing that meets the requirements of patients, management, and staff.
