Specialized Care Centers and Settings-I

1.1K
Specialized care settings or centers are situated in convenient locations within the community and offer care to a specific group or population. They consist of daycare facilities, mental health facilities, rural health facilities, educational institutions, industries, shelters for the homeless, and rehabilitation facilities.
Daycare centers
They provide several functions. Some facilities care for healthy newborns and children whose parents work, while others are medically focused and care for...

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Secondary Healthcare System

1.8K
Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident.

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

334
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Hospitals-II

Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.
Nurses that work in...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Interior Design
  • Evidence-Based Design (EBD)
  • Universal Design (UD)

Background:

  • Breast care center interior designs globally vary due to location and historical healthcare design trends.
  • Evidence-Based Design (EBD) and Universal Design (UD) are current forefronts in healthcare interior design.
  • EBD guides design decisions using relevant evidence, differing from linear processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To support the future application of EBD and UD in breast care center patient area development.
  • To establish design guidelines for breast care center interiors.
  • To inform the evaluation of existing centers and preconstruction planning for new facilities.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review.
  • Analysis of eight international breast care centers.
  • On-site observations, interviews, and staff surveys.

Main Results:

  • Identified key design features for patient areas in breast care centers.
  • Demonstrated the utility of EBD and UD in developing practical design guidelines.
  • Guidelines can be used for evaluating existing or planning new breast care centers.

Conclusions:

  • Developed specific design guidelines for breast care center patient areas.
  • Recommended features include spa-like atmosphere, natural elements, improved comfort, and accessibility.
  • Guidelines aim to optimize the interior environment for patient experience and care.
