The design of an acute care patient room for today and the future cannot be a cookie-cutter solution. Each design represents the goals and operations of the healthcare facility. Here is a summary of key design questions to aid in reaching the most appropriate design solution for a particular facility: 1. Level of acuity. What acuity level will pati...
Configuration, monitoring capability, and nursing ratio define the acuity of a typical acute care patient unit. Typically, the classifications have been medical/surgical, step-down/telemetry, and critical (intensive) care. Traditionally, each type of unit was distinct and designed to specific code requirements. Today, however, the increased...
Many patient rooms include support for medical specialties, even outside a specialized unit, and this can transcend patient acuity. These specializations can include treated water sources for dialysis patients and ceiling lifts or floor-mounted toilets for bariatric or spinal cord patients. Most units include positive- or negative-pressure isolatio...
Once the acuity level of the patient room is established, the model of nursing care must be determined. Historically, documentation revolved around the location of the paper charts. With the advent of the electronic medical record (EMR), any clinician can access charts from any location. The first wave of EMR patient unit designs enthusiastically d...
Another key design element is the hospital’s supply distribution model; i.e., how much supply inventory control is required. The less inventory control, the more likely that supplies will be replenished continuously as they are depleted—in or just outside a patient room for easy access to most-used items. If a centralized automatic dispensing syste...
Patient acuity determines the importance of visibility versus privacy for patients. The higher the level of acuity, the more the patient needs observation by clinicians. In less acute settings, both acoustic and visual privacy for both patients and family become primary. The two needs collide in the creation of a universal room, where critical care...
Based on statistical evidence of medical errors, there is now a greater emphasis on patient safety issues and, most specifically, on reducing patient falls. Since most falls occur between the bed and the toilet, new designs try to reduce this distance, even adding grab bars along the wall. Reducing the distance from the caregiver to the bed can als...
As patients and their families have more choice in the marketplace, the amenities provided become more important. For example, allowing at least one family member to “room in,” even in critical care rooms, has become standard practice. Families are no longer using family lounges except in the most acute settings because more of today’s rooms are pr...
Once you have established basic design criteria, the next step is to look at basic models of inpatient room layouts and decide which model most closely meets the hospital’s goals. In a most basic sense, one determines the design of the patient room by the location of the toilet room: midboard, inboard, or outboard. Each location has its pros and co...
The midboard toilet concept locates toilets back-to-back between patient rooms. This design allows rooms to be square or rectangular, the best shape for any acuity level. The full-width wall along the corridor allows maximum visibility, while the full-width window wall allows maximum space for family seating. The bed can also be nearer to the corri...

1: Architecture & Campus Design. Good campus planning and architecture allows the layout of streets, building approach and building entries to serve as wayfinding devices. Trying to read signs while driving is nerve-wracking. Vehicular access and approach roads should be designed to be intuitive and clear to alleviate stress on the commute.
