Hospital Design
Design has the power to positively affect multiple populations within a hospital. During the work of meeting you can find speeches about AI, innovation, healing architecture, the operating theatre spaces, case studies about art in hospital, post occupancy evaluation of an evidence based designed intensive and intermediate care unit. Moreover others topics will be the modern healthcare architecture in Brazil, light and architecture, sustainability and humanization in a rehabilitation center, in-house project management for a new trauma center and high isolation hospital cluster.
Advanced Technologies
Today we live in a technological world, and the healthcare world cannot be excluded. Robot and problem solving, the benefits of digitalization, energy efficiency in healthcare and light for health and wellness are the topics of that section.
Infection Control
The two basic goals of infection control are to protect the patient and health care personnel from infection. During the meeting we will talk about severe disease following respiratory challenge with influenza A virus, about fully automated sterilization production. The other speech is about ventilation and contamination control and comprehensive system for the prevention of legionella in a hospital.
Hospital Environment
If we all want to have a pleasant home environment, why can’t we have a pleasant work environment?
Optimization of design solution for surplus heating and cooling system, Retrofitted Energy Recovery System for air handling units in a hospital building. The trade-off between energy reduction, cost and innovation in healthcare, Hospitals in changing climate. Finally a testimony from MSF Doctors.
Health Organisation and Management
Facility management and maintenance. Health care facility managers must oversee financial, technical and administrative operations within a health care organisation. They must plan, organise, implement, evaluate and monitor all facility programmes and departments. We will speak about digitalisation for health in Italy: case studies and best practices of hospital agencies and BIM tools and methodologies.
Case Studies Risk Management
Risk management is a continuous, gradual and proactive process that involves the corporate strategy and that must be integrated into the culture of the organization through a targeted policy by its managers, who assign specific responsibilities and appropriate roles within the company. Some case studies from Argentina and role of hospital engineers in disaster prevention.
Sustainable and Resilient Hospitals
“Resilience is the capacity to adapt to changing conditions and to maintain or regain functionality and vitality in the face of stress or disturbance. It is the capacity to bounce back after a disturbance or interruption.” Following this philosophy we will speak about sensible environment in the places of birth, efficient and discret logistic: approach and reflection on automatic guided vehicles. Finally a speech about functional safety integrity to enhance electrical resilience in healthcare facilities.
