...2006, was long overdue according to Executive Director Kathy Swanson. “We opened Arnold Palmer Hospital in 1989, with a mission to provide quality services for children and women in a comforting, family-friendly environment. Since then we have served well over 1.5 million women and children and now deliver more than 10,000 babies a year. By 2001, we simply ran out of room and it was time for us to grow.” The new hospital's unique, circular pod design provides a maximally efficient layout in all areas of the hospital, creating a patient-centered environment. Servicescape design features include a serene environment created through the use of warm colors, private rooms with pull-down Murphy beds for family members, 14-foot ceilings, and natural lighting with oversized windows in patient rooms. But these radical new features did not come easily. "This pod concept with a central nursing area and pie-shaped rooms resulted from over 1,000 planning meetings of 35 user groups, extensive motion and time studies, and computer simulations of the daily movements of nurses," says Swanson. In a traditional linear hospital layout, called the racetrack design, patient rooms line long hallways, and a nurse might walk 2.7 miles per day serving patient needs at Arnold Palmer. "Some nurses spent 30% of their time simply walking. With the nursing shortage and the high cost of health care professionals, efficiency is a major concern," added Swanson. With the nursing station in the center...

...Synopsis: At 3:50pm on Saturday October 20, 2012, I traveled to the main lobby of the Kingston General Hospital (KGH) in Kingston, Ontario, located at 76 Stuart Street, to conduct observational research by examining and recording consumer behavior in a natural setting. This report includes a detailed description of the people and behaviors I witnessed, in addition to inferences that I made based on my observations. What time and day of the week was I there? How did this affect my observations? The time and day that I chose to conduct my observation had a number of effects on the results. First, there were likely more hospital visits occurring on Saturday than there would have been if I had conducted my observation on a weekday when most people are at school or work. Second, I can imagine that the lobby was less busy in the afternoon than at noon, yet busier than it would be if I had conducted the observation early in the morning or late at night. Third, I did not see anyone in the lobby consuming any food items and instead, observed a number of people drinking coffee or other warm beverages. I assume that I would have seen more people eating if I had visited the lobby at breakfast or lunchtime. The afternoon is also a common time for people to have a coffee to offset afternoon doldrums. Last, I noticed that the majority of people in the lobby were wearing warm, casual outfits, which may have differed if I had conducted my observation earlier in the day when it was...

...Week 5 Assignment 1 Week 5 Assignment Teresa Arnwine Course ID – Operations Management 1 OMGT-310 Date: February 5, 2012 Russel Flippo Southwestern College Professional Studies Week 5 Assignment 2 LAYING OUT ARNOLD PALMER HOSPITAL’S NEW FACILITY 1. Identify the many variables that a hospital needs to consider in layout design. There are many different variables that a hospital needs to consider when developing a layout design. Among those variables is the specialty of the hospital – does there need to be a lot of operating rooms, or will the hospital deal with more trauma or specialized areas. The flow of personnel, equipment and materials is of upmost importance when considering the layout. How easily will nurses and doctors get to the patients, and how much time will it take them to go from point “A” to point “B”? A hospital tends to be more process oriented and, therefore; should be designed as such. Work cells provide the ability for personnel to perform certain functions in one specific place. Another variable that hospitals need to consider in layout design is the family of the patient. Patients will have visitors – some more than others – and they must be able to have privacy and be able to visit with their loved one in a comfortable setting. 2. What are the advantages of the circular pod design over the traditional linear hallway layout found in most hospitals? One of the advantages of the circular pod design is that it keeps the work...

...Stepping out of the elevator in the bright hotel hallway, Alexia pulled her hood up, checked her surroundings, recharged her weapons and holstered them. She then looked at her handset, cuffed to her left wrist, to verify the room number, 265 and searched for the door. The gray marble floor reflected light from the extravagant chandelier made her feel exposed in her dark green cloak. She raised her right arm and dimmed the lights. Walking down the spacious hallway, she passed the beige and white walls until she spotted the golden door where a guard stood watching her approach. Before the guard opened his mouth, Alexia noticed her rosary tattoo on her left hand glowing blue, she unleashed a dark red cloud on the guard. “Hello boss,” he said in...

...Paper on Play Read in Class 2 In the Next Room The story is about a group of people that are sexually frustrated with their loved ones. It begins with a couple named Mr. Daldry, and Mrs. Daldry, Mr. Daldry thinks that his wife Mrs. Daldry is ill with some kind of illness that made her not like what she used to be in their sex life, so they went to see a doctor named Mr. Givings. Mr. Givings had invited something called vibrator, and he thinks that it will help patient with their sex life, but he doesn’t relies that his own wife Mrs.Givings have the same illness as Mrs. Daldry . The play is more like a dark comedy mixed with sad drama, you laugh and at the same time you feel sorry for the characters, like when Mrs. Givings said to her baby that she will find him a nice wet nurse with healthy milk, and then she was near tears, but she recovered. The play in the nearly end turned to be more serious. The set will be divided into two rooms, the doctor office and the lobby. At the play's climax, the actors step through the imaginary wall dividing the rooms to create the third and final scene, outdoors in the snow. Snow is used throughout the play as a symbol of love. There is couple of things that I think might be difficult to approach during the play. The first thing is the dividing the stage into two rooms. To solve this problem we will need to have a large stage that can be divided into more than two rooms. The second problem is to let the audience feel and what the...

...The Birth of Eli It all started on a warm June morning. It was time to go to the hospital. Excitement was in the air. This was one of the happiest days of my life. This was the day I met my son for the first time. The time was 5:00 AM when we arrived at Huntsville Hospital. The pregnancy was a planned c-section. We walked onto the elevator and pressed the button for the baby floor. When we reached the nurses desk we did the paper work and were instructed to have a seat in the waiting room. Ten minutes after our arrival the process began. While they took my wife back to prepare for surgery, I put on the hair net and scrubs. Eventually the nurse came back to direct me toward the operating room. Because I was nervous, I did not enter into the operating room right away. Since I was afraid of what was on the other side of the door I waited in the hallway. I calmed myself as much as I could; then, I stepped into the room. I knew once I walked through that door my life would never be the same. As I watched the doctors pull my son from his mother, the tears started falling from my face; I could barely see, for a moment. I followed him to the table where he was wiped off and checked for abnormalities. The nurse looked at me said, “Congratulations.’ His mother carried him for nine months and three weeks, and now he was finally here. He weighed seven pounds six ounces and was nineteen inches in length. When my eyes hit his angelic tiny body, they froze and I could...
