SHINKO HOSPITAL
|
|
| Although the Shinko Hospital is affiliated to a company. 80 percent of its users are non-corporate patients. Its architectural design aimed at realizing the “improvement in medical care environment” both in terms of hardware（facility）and software（operation）. In order to make the waiting of outpatients a restful experience, there is a dedicated waiting area which is not part of a pathway. As for inpatients, various features to create an ordinary life atmosphere were incorporated in the design of wards and rooms. So far as operation is concerned, it has fully adopted the one-patient one-carte method and the ordering system. Although the facility suffered medium-scale damage from the 1995 Kobe Earthquake, restoration work was completed in May. |
