CHILDREN’S WARDS – REQUIREMENTS VS. REALITY: A COMPARATIVE FRAMEWORK FOR ASSESING SPATIAL QUALITY

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper introduces a comparative framework for evaluating spatial qualities in pediatric hospitals, with a focus on the best practice currently available. Modern healthcare design emphasizes adaptability and patient-centered care, pediatric wards can often be planned using a generalized ward design, especially in smaller local hospitals, which are often ill-suited to be transformed into a ward for children with specific needs. This study defines a set of expected criteria for flexible pediatric hospital design, such as room adaptability, support for family presence – and compares them with situations currently found in Czech hospitals. Using spatial analysis tools and each wards layout, the method assesses key parameters and compares themto the best practice currently known. The findings reveal significant gaps and various shortcomings of the wards, particularly due to the high occupancy in smaller hospital’s pediatric units, where little flexibility and accommodations for family can be made. The study shows usefulness of a structured comparison methodfor identifying design and special shortcomings and can be used for informing future planning. It offers a tool that can be used as a basis for discussion about the actuality of the current guidelines for children wards reconstructions and new builds.
