Exploration of patient’s perceived sustainable healthcare environmental design indicator
Abstract
The aim of this paper is reduce the stress and confusion and the disturbance of
patients, the connectivity of design have been frequently found in different studies. This article
help us to control stress and reduce disturbance of patients and this will be achieved with the
help of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Zero defect QFD is the tool that is used
connectivity, parking, walkability, waiting area, barrier free way of finding, accessibility. In this
regard only 02 case study analyses of hospital projects are special mention i.e. Jacobabad
Institution of Medical science. Liaquat National Medical Center and Jacobabad Institute of
Medical Science. In case studies a Design Determinant’s modeling on Quality Function
Deployment (QFD) and House of Quality was carried out. The Areal Distribution options were
analyzed on and Spatial Organization study was based on zero defect model which is Specifically
designed for this research paper project Corridor and Connectivity simulate 84% improvement in
circulation in Liquet medical hospital. Grid allows enhancement by 44% in Barrier Free
(Visibility), Orientation (Way finding) and Vicinity (Walkability).Survey suggested improved
person on House of Quality Egress (Accessibility) and Feasibility (Waiting Area) Survey suggested
improved person on House of Quality Egress (Accessibility) and Feasibility (Waiting Area)
