Alternate Solution 1

Selection/Rejection

The chosen cite to build the emergency medical clinic was in Asbury. The choice was based on several factors including crime rates, nearest hospitals, and available land.

Three seperate floor plans were also drawn as alternate solutions. From these the final solution was to be chosen. Alternate solution 1 was drawn by Kelly Daniels. It is a basic square building was strategically placed rooms. Such examples are the employee rooms combined in one hallway, patient rooms grouped around the x-ray room and bathrooms, and the conference room, to dicuss diagnoses, by the patient rooms. The hallways flow around each area making it a smooth operating design.

Alternate solution 2 was drawn by Lauren Keiser. This also has an extremely funcitional layout. Like solution 1 employee rooms are grouped together for ease of communication and reduce confusion. The trauma room is across from the bathrooms so patients being treated for more serious injuries will be able to easily access what they need. Other patient roo

ms are all along the same hallway as well as important rooms like radiation and lab. It is a great layout because the trauma room has a back entrance so emergency vehicles will not be interrupted by regular patients.

Alternate solution 3 was drawn by Natasha Konczynski. It is also a rectangular simple shaped layout. Like alternate solutions 1 and 2, employee rooms will be grouped together. Such rooms are file storage, doctor offices and billing/storage. The conference room is again near the patient rooms for easy diagnosis. The trauma unit is a large room with easy access for ambulance around the back. Biohazard waste closet is also near pati

ent rooms for easy disposal of needles and other lab products. Bathrooms are also easily accessible for patients around the clinic. Although this layout has all the necessary rooms it is not put together as well as it should be.

Alternate solution was the final choice. It has the best layout and design for easy flow and communication within the clinic. The way the rooms are grouped together for easy accessibility for doctors, staff, and patients is well thought out and easy to work with. This plan carries all the necessary rooms and important features to the clinic. After drawing the originial design we decided to modify it with smaller details. It now includes the main entrance, two emergency exits, and the ambulance entrance into the trauma room. We also shifted the patient area further up making the shape more like an "L". This new modified layout meets all requirements and is the most logical choice for our final solution.
