We are happy to write the preface for the book entitled “Hospital Administration and Planning.” This book is a compilation of work by experts from different domains working in the healthcare industry, ranging from hospital planning to quality man
agement, and clinical services to disaster management. Since healthcare organiza
tion is a very diverse, sensitive, and intricate area, it demands a thorough and flawless planning. The structure should not only be operationally efficient, but also be safe for its occupants and visitors. The book starts with a brief introduction of the healthcare sector at different levels. It also attempts to justify how the changing healthcare landscape has paved the way for establishing a contemporary and ever-evolving specialty of hospital planning and designing, which is dynamic in nature and requires continuous improvements and updates frequently.
This book has been planned in a way wherein clinical and nonclinical depart
ments have been separately classified and their respective standards and guidelines have been incorporated while describing the planning concepts. Critical areas of a hospital such as ICU and CCU have been detailed specifically as the operational requirements and level of different sophistication required.
A chapter on security aspects and disaster management has also been thoroughly envisioned based on the current scenario at global level. Issues and management of hospital-acquired infection have been discussed in different chapters based on its relevance and application in that particular area. Further, the book introduces the concept of green and eco-friendly self-sustainable hospitals. The book also focuses on the planning requirements and statutory considerations as per the “International Patient Safety Guidelines.”
We believe that the book would immensely benefit the clinicians, scholars, and researchers working in the field of hospital administration or healthcare manage
ment, biomedical engineering, dental studies, paramedical courses, and relevant industries. People working in the field of healthcare, health insurance, policy mak
ing, accreditation, and quality management would avail additional knowledge from this book.
The important features of the book include the incorporation of the fundamentals of project management techniques and its implementation in a hospital setup. It provides notes on the planning of facilities with respect to international standards and guidelines suggested by organizations such as the ASHRAE, JCI, WHO, and LEED. The book includes case studies and good practices of healthcare organiza¬tions at global level and their methodology. Several illustrations pertaining to the different departments and functional areas, complementing theoretical explanation, have been added to the book to provide better understanding to the audience.
