EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT DESIGN.
The crisis room is a quick paced condition that requires a sitting area close by for stressed relatives. A human services proficient must most likely speak with the family about the state of the patient. The sitting area ought to have seats, a telephone, pen, and paper, and internet connectivity for relatives to sit and hang tight for more data. (Sanchez, L. D. (2017). The furnishings in the lounge area should be anything but difficult to clean. The seats ought to have plastic seats so they can be cleaned consistently. Cleaning should be finished each day, on numerous occasions for the day. Cleaning incorporates, cleaning down all seats, tables, clipboards, and pens due to what number of individuals interact with these articles for the day. Individual Protective Equipment ought to be close by in the lounge area; any individual who is feeling sick should wear a cover to secure every other person in the region. The structure of the room needs to feel inviting to everybody. ( Kuzmits, F. E. (1988).
How the emergency room would ineffectively reduce the spread of disease.
From the response, though the furniture in the room offers an easy way to clean them, the mode of cleaning leaves doubts. Some of the infectious microbes such as the Clostridium difficile are not denatured by the regular soap detergents that are regularly used in the cleaning process. Therefore, cleaning the gargets used in the room is not enough, but there is a need to use stronger cleaning agents, which is not included in the peer response which may lead to spread of microbes.
Since an emergency room is a susceptible room, the structure of the room should not only offer comfort for both patient and the family member but inhibit some diseases like tuberculosis can easily be spread in rooms that are closely parked and lacking proper aeration. ( Haak, H. R. (2015). Therefore, it is vital to either ensure that the place is adequately aerated by use of modern technology or ensuring that the people in the room wear protective wears. The structure of the room responding does not highlight these factor.
The personnel working in the room interact with a very high number of patients. Therefore, though they may wear protective clothing, it is paramount that they undergo regular vaccination for ailments such as influenza.
How would the design effectively be implemented in a hospital?
For the design to be successfully implemented in a hospital structure, there is a need for funds to be set aside to ensure that the structure meets the standard set by WHO and the personnel working in this room is well protected. (Li, Y. (2017) There is also a need for adequate space to be set aside. The land where the room will be constructed should allow easy accessibility by both the emergency vehicles (ambulance) and also the triage doctors and nurses. The room should also be offered the required security for the patients and the unruly characters.
Conclusion.
The emergency room is a critical part of the health organization. Therefore, in constructing the room, certain measures such as safety and accessibility should be taken into consideration. Finally, the room should meet the standards set by the health organization. (Sanchez, L. D. (2017).
