A
SAFE AND EFFICIENT DESIGN
In the new facilities, activities will
be grouped into three main sectors: inpatient (hospitalization),
outpatient (ambulatory care), and diagnostic and therapeutic
services. Each sector will be designed to maximize the
effectiveness and safety of care, as well as the well-being of
patients and employees.
The reference model accommodates all
of the functions planned in the FTP:
• inpatient activities are concentrated in the west wing,
along Sanguinet Street;
• outpatient activities are concentrated in the east wing,
along Saint-Denis Street and René-Levesque Boulevard;
• most of the diagnostic and therapeutic services are
concentrated at the corner of Saint-Denis and Viger streets;
• at the hospital’s core, essential functions are linked
so as to minimize the time it takes for patients to be moved;
• the model takes into account all recommended traffic routes
(functional links planned between units, dedicated routes for
patients and staff, clean and soiled material, etc.).
Optimizing circulation
The internal traffic routes that link the three major sectors
together and, within each, the various hospital services, were
designed to maximize the comfort and privacy of patients, efficacy
and safety of staff, respect for infection prevention standards,
security of equipment and supplies, and appropriate maintenance of
spaces according to their functions.
In physical terms, the concept of dedicated traffic routes
translates as follows:
• the public area, which includes spaces accessible to all
users, such as the mall, reception areas, waiting rooms, and food
service areas;
• the clinical area, which includes spaces for care and
services to patients, such as examination and treatment rooms,
patients’ rooms, observation gurneys;
• the private area, which includes spaces preserved for staff,
such as clinical-administrative offices and staff rooms.
Throughout the hospital, distinct traffic routes are planned for
inpatients, outpatients, employees and material, and visitors. As
well, distinct routes are planned for clean material and soiled
material. Thus, inpatients or outpatients will not return to the
public area until the end of their treatment, whether it has been
for a few hours or several days. This organization ensures peace of
mind, safety and security and hygiene in areas that are reserved
for care.
THE TWO CONSTRUCTION PHASES OF CHUM IN THE DOWNTOWN
AREA
The first phase
of construction is composed of the portion to the left of
the red line in the phasing plan. It includes
• a minimum of 400 beds, including those in the birthing
centre, intensive care, and emergency;
• diagnostic and therapeutic services;
• the operating suite;
• support services, such as sterilization, records, and food
services.
• At the end of phase 1, planned for 2013, transfer of
activities from Hôpital Saint-Luc will be completed and
operating rooms will be functional.
The second phase
is composed of the portion to the right of the red line in
the phasing plan. It includes the balance of patient rooms,
bringing the total to 772. Ambulatory services will be transferred
to that side, as will activities from Hôtel-Dieu and
Hôpital Notre-Dame. Commissioning is planned for 2018.
