In the overall environment construction of the hospital, hospital furniture plays a pivotal role. From the moment the patient enters the hospital, the medical guide desk, nurse station, treatment cabinets and disposal cabinets involved in the treatment process, these furniture not only provide convenience for the work of medical staff, but also directly affect the patient’s medical experience. Below, let’s take a deeper look at these key hospital furniture.
Medical guide desk: the first impression station of the hospital
As the first service point that patients contact after entering the hospital, the importance of the medical guide desk is self-evident. It is an intuitive display of the hospital’s image. The professional and warm design of the medical guide desk can make patients feel cared for and at ease the moment they enter the hospital. The main function of the medical guide desk is to guide patients to seek medical treatment and help patients understand the distribution of hospital departments, medical treatment procedures and other information. Therefore, the medical guide desk usually needs to have sufficient storage space for storing various promotional materials, medical records and other items. At the same time, the reasonable table height and operating space design can enable medical guides to serve patients more efficiently.
In terms of material selection, the medical guide desk can choose a variety of materials. Wooden medical guide desks give people a warm and friendly feeling, which can relieve patients’ nervousness and are often used in some specialized hospitals or high-end private hospitals. The materials are mostly made of high-quality solid wood or environmentally friendly boards. After fine processing and surface treatment, they have good wear resistance and stability. Steel medical guide desks are more common in general hospitals because of their durability, easy cleaning and disinfection. Made of high-strength steel, the surface is treated with rust prevention and antibacterial treatment, which can effectively resist various corrosion factors in the hospital environment. Aluminum medical guide desks are also gradually favored by some hospitals because of their lightness and corrosion resistance, especially in some places that require flexibility in space layout. After anodizing and other processes, the aluminum material is not only stylish in appearance, but also has good antioxidant properties.
Nurse station: the core hub of medical services
The nurse station is an important working area in the hospital, which undertakes many functions such as patient reception, triage guidance, doctor’s advice and medical supplies management. It is an important place for medical staff to communicate with patients, so the design needs to fully consider functional zoning and convenience of operation. Nurses stations are usually equipped with office desks and chairs, medical record storage racks, medicine cabinets, emergency equipment storage compartments and other facilities. Reasonable functional zoning allows nurses to quickly obtain the items they need and improve work efficiency. For example, set up commonly used medicine cabinets in a handy location, and classify medical record storage racks according to patient categories or ward numbers for easy search.
In terms of materials, the main structure of the nurse station can be made of electrolytic steel plates, acrylic artificial stone or wooden frames. More than 60% of medical institutions choose electrolytic steel plates because of their strong antibacterial and corrosion resistance, which can effectively reduce bacterial growth and ensure the hygiene and safety of the medical environment. Nurses stations made of acrylic artificial stone are beautiful and easy to clean, and are often used in high-end private hospitals or places with high requirements for environmental beauty. Nurses stations with wooden frames create a warm atmosphere and help relieve patients’ tension, but regular maintenance and maintenance are required to ensure their service life. The thickness of the nurse station countertop is generally in the range of 20-50mm, and it needs to have good load-bearing capacity and wear resistance.
Treatment cabinets and disposal cabinets: A powerful assistant for medical operations
Treatment cabinets and disposal cabinets are important furniture for treatment and disposal work in hospitals. They provide an orderly space for storing various medical supplies and equipment. Treatment cabinets are mainly used to store medicines, equipment, dressings and other items required in the treatment process. They usually have multiple drawers and cabinet doors for convenient classification, storage and retrieval. Disposal cabinets focus on storing disposable items, infectious waste containers, etc. used in the disposal process. These cabinets need to have good sealing to prevent medicines from getting damp and equipment from being contaminated, and they must be easy to clean and disinfect.
In terms of material selection, steel treatment cabinets and disposal cabinets are widely used. Steel materials are sturdy and durable, can withstand heavy weight, and have a smooth surface, which is easy to clean and disinfect, meeting the requirements of hospital infection control. Wooden treatment cabinets and disposal cabinets can be used in some departments with high requirements for environmental atmosphere, such as rehabilitation departments and traditional Chinese medicine departments. However, wooden materials need to be specially treated with moisture and corrosion protection to extend their service life. Aluminum treatment cabinets and disposal cabinets have advantages in some places where cabinets need to be moved frequently due to their lightness and corrosion resistance.
Customized service: meeting the personalized needs of hospitals
Different hospitals differ in terms of scale, department settings, and decoration styles, so the needs for hospital furniture are also different. Customized services can tailor furniture products that meet the characteristics of the hospital according to the specific needs of the hospital. When customizing hospital furniture, the functional needs of the hospital must be fully considered first. For example, the guide desk of a large general hospital may require a larger space and more complex functional partitions to cope with the consultation and guidance of a large number of patients; while the nurse station of a specialized hospital can be designed specifically for medicine cabinets, medical record storage racks, etc. according to the characteristics of the specialty.
During the customization process, the choice of materials can also be flexibly adjusted according to factors such as the hospital’s budget and environmental requirements. At the same time, customized furniture can also be integrated with the overall decoration style of the hospital in terms of appearance design to create a harmonious and unified hospital environment. From color matching to shape design, the characteristics and cultural connotations of the hospital can be reflected. Whether it is a modern and simple style or a warm and comfortable style, customized services can meet the personalized needs of the hospital.
