Reference Case: Design of workplaces for different acute care areas
A noticeable gain with respect to time, considerably more hygiene and an infrastructure which will remain state of the art for decades: in the new university hospital 'Bocage' in Dijon, France, management gives a positive summary of the workplace design with Dräger products despite challenges in planning the workplace.
Professor Claude Girard, head of anesthesiology and intensive care. Professor Claude Girard is head of anesthesiology and intensive care at the Bocage. He also was head of
the planning commission for the new building. It was his target to realise the ideal in hospital construction with the new building. Regarding the workplace design, it was important to him to get infrastructure that helps to optimise processes and workflows, roomallows flexibility in the use of rooms, supports the hospital in meeting the hygienic requirements both in day-to-day work and in the long term and allows easy use by the employees thanks to its homogeneity. Claude Girard is convinced that the level of quality in the Bocage also contributes to shorter periods of hospitalisation for patients.
Jérôme Boyer, biomedical engineer at the Bocage and member of the planning commission, emphasises the employee participation in the workplace design at the Bocage. The future users had focussed on the point that they can work everywhere when there are no obstacles on the floor: in the ICU, in the OR and in the PACU. They wished for obstacle-free floors not only in terms of hygiene but also for practical reasons in order to make it easier to connect devices and bring materials into the rooms.
Hubert Favelier, head of purchasing, reports that the employees are happy with the chosen solution. Workplaces comply with ergonomic requirements, processes were simplified and hygiene could be optimised. Dräger contributed its share even after installation when Dräger employees set up and adapted the devices. 'The quality of customer service and the continuing support of our project by Dräger resulted in the completion of all adjustments only three months after the commissioning of all devices.'
Catherine Thiard, head nurse operating room, emphasises the importance of ergonomics for her work and the work of her colleagues. 'We have rooms which are not very large but have to accommodate a lot -- be it materials or personnel. That means it is obligatory that everything is ergonomic and adjusted to the workflow.' She thinks the Bocage has achieved this goal with the Dräger solution. Thiard: 'For us, Dräger devices stand for an increase in ergonomics, freedom of movement, obstacle-free floors, and standardisation of the workplace.
