At RY Group Healthcare Consultancy, we not only design hospitals and medical campuses to satisfy our clients, but also to make them sustainable in the healthcare market for a longer time. That’s why we always ensure to follow all the required norms for healthcare designs.
Master planning of a healthcare campus is both a science and an art. It is a science because it is based on a systematic study of the hospital marketing structure, organized knowledge of all the functional relationships between various departments, and adherence to fundamentals. It is an art because it requires the application of human imagination, a creative and innovative approach, with meticulous planning.
Importantly, a great structural drawing and proper healthcare consulting for the hospital is the result of a perfect blend and balance between these elements.
Although healthcare planning and designing of medical campuses is not easy, it requires domain expertise knowledge, relevant experience, and a tight grip on future trends in healthcare. But it can be accomplished through a sound vision for a hospital and a concerted human effort led by a team of facility planners, capability experts, hospital engineering experts, and architects.
While a healthcare campus master plan is a comprehensive document, a structural drawing for a hospital gives a fair idea of what will be constructed initially as well as in the future. It is also a systematic assessment of the available space, fund requirements, its allocation, and a final future projection of how the hospital will perform.
