A Custom Decision-Support Information System for Structural and Technological Analysis in Healthcare

This paper presents a custom informative system called SACS, a software that drives Autocad to manage and analyze digital plans of hospital buildings coded on specific layers. The software maps Departments, Operative Units, Destinations of Use, healthcare technologies and environmental comforts grouping info by single rooms and homogeneous areas, giving quantitative and qualitative results. System outputs can be used by top-management as a decision-support aid to assess parameters to improve the hospital’s structure and organization.

Hospital health care offer. A monitoring multidisciplinar approach

The experience we are going to show here represents the synergic work of researchers coming from different cultural extractions: bioengineers, architects and physicians. The Monitoring System (called MonLAB) wanted by Careggi Hospital (Florence, Italy) together with University of Florence is supervising the process of deep rethinking of the hospital itself, started in 1999 and scheduled to end in 2010. To do this, we developed many procedures and ICT tools to achieve these main goals: time and cost monitoring, critical moments prevision and alerts generation, real-time control of hospital evolving estate in terms of beds, ambulatories, deposits, clinicians rooms, technologies and more.

The STREAMER European Project. Case Study: Careggi Hospital in Florence

In this paper is shown the European research project STREAMER in the topic “Optimised design methodologies for energy efficient buildings integrated in the neighborhood energy systems”. The Streamer research project aims at use and development of a semantic approach to design starting from the combination of BIM and GIS systems. A case study in Careggi hospital, Florence (Italy) is shown, together with the expected results.

Piani per l’eliminazione delle barriere architettoniche: esperienze in Toscana

Il piano d’abbattimento delle barriere architettoniche e uno strumento metaprogettuale, necessario ad avviare procedure coordinate, per eseguire gli interventi di “attenuazione” dei conflitti uomo-ambiente. E’ quindi il preludio, la base, sulla quale iniziare tutte quelle azioni di “design urbano” che mirano ad interventi piu o meno dedicati. La metodologia illustrata, ha proprio come obbiettivo generale, quello di produrre conoscenza al fine di poter iniziare concretamente le azioni di progettazione in grado di mirare all’innalzamento della qualita della rete di servizi, tempi e occasioni che la citta offre, partendo dalle necessita di chi maggiormente richiede attenzioni, per giungere a definire risposte, capaci di garantire il quadro associante a cui mira una citta solidale e quindi accessibile. Secondo questa visione, il piano e cosi strumento, trasversale, di analisi e verifica, necessario per alfabetizzare, utenti e gestori della citta ad una cultura dell’accessibilita. Cultura sempre piu necessaria per una citta moderna nel aspetto piu allargato del termine.
