Exploring the Perception of Patient on Sustainable Healthcare Design Indicators

Abstract

The aim of this paper is moderate the stress and confusion and the disturbance of patients, This article help us to control stress and reduce trouble in the movement of patients and this will be achieved with the help of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) also Zero defect QFD tool has been used for this study to assess accessibility, connectivity, barrier free way of finding for senior citizens and disable patients and check the facilities for patients like parking and waiting area also assess over all walkability in the hospital building and its surroundings. In this regard two case studies has been done. i.e., Jacobabad Institution of Medical science and Liaquat National hospital and Medical College. In case studies a Design Determinant’s demonstrating proceeding Excellence Function Deployment (QFD) and House of Quality was approved accessible. To achieve healing environment the Areal distribution within hospital buildings and Spatial Organization studies has been done based on zero defect model has been assessed for this study. This study findings shows Corridor’s Connectivity simulates 84% improvement in movement in Liaquat national hospital. Grid allows enhancement By 44% in Barrier Free (Visibility), Orientation (Way finding) and Vicinity (Walkability).previously and afterward origination of research.
