Barrier free visibility for staff in ICU Focused on space syntax for circulation in Asian ICU

The main contribution of paper is for designersthrough identification of appropriate shape geometry required forcare givers in a hospital by using space syntax technique.Healthcare management field is at a boom now a days, andfacilitating nurse is one of the important aspect coming up infuture, thus a lot of new courses in this field are also beenintroduced and management is in demand. Focus is on creatingthe optimal conditions for innovation in healthcare, which hasmore to do with team dynamics and mindset than standardprocesses and tools. Researchers are rigorously working toimprove patient safety by increasing and improving interface withnurse. This study systematically analyses the Nurse Stationtypo-morphology, and simulates nurse vision. The visualconnectivity is measured on depth map graphs. Hence the aim isto reduce staff stress and fatigue by support space distribution byincreasing effectiveness in delivering care. A depth mapcomparative analysis of three types of the Surgical Intensive CareUnit (SICU), Medical Intensive Care Unit MICU and CriticalCare Unit CCU found at hospitals Hallym University MedicalCenter, South Korea (HUMC), is analyzed here. Concussively, itwas proved that L-Shape provides maximum visibility, where as Ishape provides vast vista of a panoramic view from the NurseStation.
