Converting the space and layout of a shopping mall into a modern healthcare facility posed unique challenges, including creating a seamless flow from the patient towers to the new outpatient spaces. Significant upgrades were made to meet hospital standards, such as expanding the central sterile department to accommodate a growing patient base and separating outpatient and inpatient services to improve operational efficiency and overall patient experience.
The newly expanded outpatient surgery department is designed to accommodate a variety of minimally invasive procedures that do not require an overnight stay, aiming to provide improved patient outcomes and faster recovery times for a higher level of care for every patient. The department includes four advanced operating rooms, two endoscopy suites, eight post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) spaces, and nine pre-operative rooms. A new dedicated waiting area creates a comfortable and welcoming environment for patients and families. The department also prioritizes convenience for patients by offering flexible scheduling options and an efficient check-in process.
The design of the outpatient surgery department emphasizes a warm, clean, and bright atmosphere. Regional influences are incorporated into the aesthetic, which is harmoniously integrated with the existing design of the hospital to create a cohesive and inviting environment.
