  6. Isolation Room Design

Speakers:
Nick Stark, Vice President, H.H. Angus & Associates Limited Consulting Engineers
Jessica Fullerton, Construction Lead – Infection Prevention and Control
The Ottawa Hospital

Isolation Rooms help to separate patients and residents in the healthcare infrastructure as needed to protect patents and staff.  Typically, acute care hospitals allocate isolation rooms in hospitals some simply private rooms, others with specialized engineering depending on the clinical needs of the patient and the safety requirements presented.  Given COVID, hospitals, long-term care and other healthcare facilities, are looking at increasing and potentially upgrading the design of isolation rooms in their facilities and reconsidering engineering design needs to enhance safety in the facility.

7. Isolation Room Panel

As a  follow-up to the March session on Isolation Room Design CCHF is bringing together a multi-disciplinary panel to share their insights and answer your questions, in this very special 1.15 minute session. The panel will share their experiences and will take questions from the audience to answer some issues particularly brought to light during this pandemic related to design, architecture, auditing of current rooms, maintenance and operations applicable standards considerations. Please bring your details questions to share as we want to hear about your concerns and issues.

Following the session, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the key climate risks facing health care facilities
  • Explain how the Resilience Guidelines guide the planning, procurement and implementation phases of the health facility lifecycle
  • Identify how design teams might integrate climate resilience into architectural and engineering components of facility design

Jonas Shultz, MSc EDAC. Human Factors Specialist, HQCA -and- Adjunct Lecturer, Anesthesia, University of Calgary

Learn about recently released, award winning strategy from the Health Quality Council of Alberta which make recommendations to optimize ROI when evaluating healthcare facility designs for quality and patient safety. Specifically, the guidelines describe how to choose between simple, detailed, and virtual reality mock-ups for a simulation-based mock-up evaluation. These guidelines can help decision makers determine the costs for projects that best meet their needs.

Aspects of these human factors guidelines will be included in a document being developed by the World Health Organization on Patient Safety.

Bjoern Bischoff, Managing Partner, wörner traxler richter, Germany
Michael Mertens, Consultant – Construction Project, Fankfurt Hoechst
When it comes to implementing the Passive House concept, a few special aspects of hospitals must be taken into consideration, including areas with sensitive hygiene requirements, elevated comfort requirements for recovering patients and the elderly, the wide range of various energy applications, and processes that give off great amounts of waste heat within the given area. Completed in June 2022, Bjorn and leader builder, Michael will share how the passive house hospital in Frankfurt design challenges were met in addition to operations and costs.

Michael will discuss the structural condition of the existing building, the difficult thermal simulation for planning and the information required from the users, as well as the challenges for operation (complexity of the installations, training of the operating team, etc.). Rounded off with the expectations for comfort and energy costs for the operator.
