With the pace of new city construction around the world, new hospitals are rising, and hospital furniture procurement projects are gradually increasing. Hospital furniture has become the furniture category with the largest purchase volume after office furniture and school furniture. While the hospital furniture market segment has attracted more attention, suppliers participating in the project have discovered that the types of furniture purchased by hospitals are constantly increasing, and they are increasingly concerned about the quality of the furniture. The requirements are increasing in all aspects. Industry insiders believe that new hospital furniture not only needs to be environmentally friendly, safe, and highly functional, but also needs to pay attention to the comfort of both doctors and patients when designing, and requires the furniture to be integrated into the space to perform its functions.
Rich types of hospital furniture: Looking at the distribution of functional areas in the hospital, we can intuitively feel the rich types of hospital furniture. Nowadays, a hospital is often divided into four major areas: outpatient area, administrative area, logistics area, and inpatient department. The four major areas are distributed with different functional areas respectively. For example, the outpatient area has waiting areas, emergency rooms, consultation areas, laboratories, nurse stations and other departments, while the logistics department has office areas, bathhouses, canteens and other departments. . Each of the above areas requires different furniture. The furniture required by the hospital covers office furniture, civilian furniture, medical furniture, and laboratory furniture.
If a hospital needs to meet the treatment, food, and accommodation needs of hundreds or even thousands of patients, it naturally requires many types of furniture. Generally, the hospital will subcontract and purchase furniture according to the needs of each functional area of the hospital. At present, some hospitals with relatively large purchasing volume will conduct public bidding several times for the furniture needed in various areas of the hospital.
Products should be integrated into the space: Today, when we focus on humanized design concepts, industry insiders believe that no matter what kind of hospital furniture, environmental protection and safety should be given top priority, while paying attention to the functionality and comfort of the furniture. Integrating furniture into a space encourages it to function to its maximum potential.
An example of an office furniture company designing hospital clinic furniture layout plans and clinic furniture can help readers better understand the inseparable relationship between furniture and space. If you need to design a clinic, you should first measure the area of the clinic. After determining that the clinic needs 1 office space and 2 office chairs, the staff of the furniture company began to ask the hospital for special requirements and learned that the clinic needs to pay special attention to privacy. . Taking various factors into account, furniture companies have come up with such a plan. The screen on the desk is raised and faces the door to ensure privacy. The highest seat height of the doctor's office chair is raised from 440mm to 460mm to facilitate the doctor's consultation and avoid it. Long-term bending of the waist will cause fatigue; increase the hardness of the patient's chair surface to reduce the difficulty of getting up for weak patients; the color of the furniture should be elegant and warm to increase comfort. From this consultation room furniture arrangement plan, we will find that if there is a lack of space and any aspect of furniture design, the functions of the furniture cannot be fully exerted.
Whether the function of furniture can be fully exerted depends to a large extent on the degree of integration of product and space. Furniture companies have shown their talents to correspond to the office furniture, civilian furniture, medical furniture, laboratory furniture, and some wooden furniture required for hospital furniture. Enterprises, steel furniture companies, experimental equipment companies, and medical device companies have participated in the government procurement project of hospital furniture in a targeted manner, using their expertise to meet the personalized needs of various types of hospital furniture. In the procurement projects of laboratory equipment and medical beds, professional experimental equipment companies and medical device companies have comparative advantages. These two types of hospital furniture have very high functional requirements.
In the procurement projects of office furniture and civil furniture, furniture companies that are good at space design and product in-depth design have comparative advantages. This is closely related to the new procurement trend of hospitals today that pays attention to the quality of furniture and the matching of furniture and space. Inseparable.
