Whether it be the development of a private hospital room prototype, redevelopment of an existing ward, or the construction of an entirely new hospital; the importance of intuitive facilities testing cannot be understated.
OptiSim delivers a multi-level approach that makes certain all aspects of a design are trialled and measured for safety and function at every stage of a project: from architectural blueprint, through to fit out and final building acceptance and handover.
OptiSim Facilities Testing simulations include virtual walk-throughs and ‘live’ shift simulations.
Each tailored simulation is designed to ask the important questions, including for example: Does this hospital room layout support effective hand hygiene practices? Will these lift and doorway dimensions support bed relocation in the event of an unplanned ward relocation?
This multi-level approach ensures:
-
micro and macro design issues are identified early and addressed effectively
-
risk is mitigated so that patient safety and service efficiency are enshrined as key deliverables
-
​potential for costly rework is eliminated
-
original design intent and ‘vision’ for the facility is fully realised at project completion.
