Automated Access Solutions for Hospitals: Safe, Pleasant, and Functional
We all wonder what a modern hospital means today, and the design and architecture of a hospital are important aspects for creating a functional and comfortable medical space, both for patients and medical staff.
This was also the theme that Andreea Strugaru, Managing Partner at KADRA, developed during the BUILDING HEALTH BUCHAREST INTERNATIONAL FORUM conference.
Throughout our 27 years of experience in implementing solutions for medical spaces, we have observed that today’s medical space is no longer the medical space of 20 years ago, even though, as patients, we often do not yet feel this change. However, it is a goal for which we must all work to enjoy a quality medical space.
The demands for a quality medical space come from both patients, and as Andreea Strugaru stated at the Forum: “as patients, we want quality medical services, a safe space for life, reasonable comfort, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere to forget a little about our illness, but also from the doctors.
In turn, doctors need functional circuits, a construction that helps them and is safe, that assists them in the medical act and does not constitute obstacles that can hinder them from efficiently performing medical activities.”
In the construction or renovation of a medical establishment, a challenge for builders, architects, and designers is the legal requirements. A fire safety authorization is not easily obtained, and KADRA can offer a wide range of automated access solutions to address these issues, such as fire-resistant doors, evacuation solutions in case of fire, as well as smoke evacuation solutions approved by the Emergency Situations Inspectorate.
Automated Access Solutions for Hospitals Can Efficiently Manage Traffic
A functional medical space needs an efficient traffic management solution, and our engineers know how to automate any type of entrance.
Just think about the Emergency Reception area, which is one of the areas that most needs efficient traffic. Ambulances must be able to enter quickly without the need for the gatekeeper to manually open the doors.
From a technical point of view, the functionality of a hospital, access routes play an important role, and we, KADRA, know how to make hermetic doors for operating rooms, we have in our portfolio transfer windows for instruments, controlled access solutions (swing doors, rapid doors, sliding doors), solutions that ensure safety and radiation protection, such as special lead-protected doors for radiology rooms, solutions that ensure the tightness of spaces with controlled atmosphere, emergency evacuation, smoke evacuation, and fire protection.
Comfort in a hospital, both for patients and medical staff, starts, as Andreea Strugaru reminds us, from parking and the difficulty of finding a parking spot in front of the hospital, and we offer intelligent parking management solutions, with license plate recognition for patients, their relatives, and doctors.
Hands-free access is important in a hospital, whether we think about the movement of people with disabilities, caregivers transporting beds with patients, not to mention entering a hospital, where easy access is needed.
Today’s medical space is a modern space, and design is an important component.
For a pleasant experience offered to patients, to forget or more easily overcome the medical issue they are facing during hospitalization, we can create, architecturally, a pleasant and welcoming ambiance.
We assist designers, builders, and beneficiaries with customized solutions: sizing, color schemes, specific equipment for the medical space, involving the latest technology materials and specific requirements.
Automated Access Solutions for Hospitals Implemented at Numerous Hospitals in Romania
In the 27 years, we have aimed to contribute to the creation of a modern and quality medical space, thus we have contributed with our automated access engineering solutions to a series of complex hospitals, such as: Children’s Clinical Hospital “Dr. Victor Gomoiu”, Emergency Hospital “St. John the New” Suceava, Polisano Hospital, in Sibiu, Regina Maria Hospital – Maternity and, last but not least, Mioveni Town Hospital, where we have installed over 1000 automatic doors.
