Abstract:
By making a comparative analysis of the changes in the indexes of total floor area, the floor areas of seven faeihties and their proportion to the total floor area, and some other parts that have been made with regard to the construction of general hospitals, the paper argues that the revised construction standards embody a kind of comprehensive service that is patient-centered, comfortable, fast, and convenient; a kind of medical environment wherein the first importance is attached to people, scientific management is stressed, and the buildings have been designed with the patients in mind; and a desire to keep up with the times and meet people's needs for medical and health care. It is suggested that the scale of construction be moderate, the average floor area of beds be gradually increased, the number of storeys be mainly multiple and low high-rise, the number of parking spaces be gradually increased to match the number of beds, the scale of each nursing unit be moderate, the number of beds per thousand people be gradually raised, and the idea of separated sectors and streamlining design be stressed.
