...Arnold Palmer Hospital created a plan for its new facility using different variables,layouts, drawings, simulations and a massive planning process. The goal for this process was toincorporate 273 new beds and 11-story hospital with a budget of $100 million. This new facilitywill serve over 1.5 million women and children, and deliver more than 12,000 babies a year. Themission of this case will be answering the discussions questions, but focusingin layout trategies. The first question is concerning the variables that Arnold Palmer Hospital needs for itslayout design. We must to consider the following variables : Security, how to protect patientsand specially babies; Nursing Efficiency, it is crucial that nurses don't spend too much timewalking around the facility; Meal and Supply efficiencies, food have to be delivered warm andsupplies on time; Space, for visitors, family members and capacitation; Privacy, a very importantvariable because this can give to the patients the serenity and peace they need; Location, x-ray,laboratories, management, pharmacy, etc. must have a specific place in the layout and finallyincorporate areas for medical and non-medical personnel. The second question asks about the advantages of the circular pod design over thetraditional linear hallway layout. One of the advantages of the circular pod design is that is mucheasier for nurses to see and reach each room, this means that the travel time for nurses will beminimized, but not only will save time...

...ISL 223E FUNDAMENTALS OF PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT CASE STUDY 7 Due Date: 8.12. 2015 Laying Out Arnold Palmer Hospital's New Facility When Orlando's Arnold Palmer Hospital began plans to create a new 273-bed, 11-story hospital across the street from its existing facility, which was bursting at the seams in terms of capacity, a massive planning process began. The $100 million building, opened in 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...

...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...
