2. I N T R O D U C T I O N :-
INTRODUCTION :- A hospital is an institution that provides a broad range of medical services to sick, injured, or pregnant
patients. It employs medical, nursing, and support staff to provide inpatient care to people who require close medical monitoring
and an outpatient care to people who need ambulatory care. Hospitals provide diagnosis and medical treatment of physical and
mental health problems, surgery, rehabilitation, health education programs, and nursing and physician training. Many hospitals
also serve as centres for innovative research and medical training. However there is a current trend in hospital management to
decrease in patient service and to increase outpatient ambulatory care. .Out Patient Department in any hospital is considered to be
a shop window of the hospital (Kunders, 1998) referred to the hospital unit that a patient attended for treatment or consultation and
did not stay overnight in the hospital. Out Patient Department is one of the departments of the hospital which cares for the
ambulatory patient who comes for the diagnosis. Now a days, patients are looking for hassle free and quick services. This demand
is only possible with optimum utility of the resources through multitasking in a single window system of the OPD (Srinivasan, 2000).
In the United States, it wasn’t long ago that hospitalization was routine for most patients. But lengthy hospital stays are largely now
a thing of the past. Today, many patients receive much of their health care as outpatients—a trend that many see as benefiting the
health system. Much of the move toward outpatient care in the US has been driven by third-party payers in an effort to control
expenses. But this change has been perhaps one of the benefits of managed care, in that it has challenged healthcare providers to
find safe and effective ways to deliver care on an outpatient basis, which is clearly to the benefit of o patients (Onco Log 2004)
For every hospital, patients are the main users. The primary function of the hospital is patient care. It is one of the yardsticks to
measure the success of services that it produces. Effectiveness of the hospital relates to provision of good patient care as
intended. According to Swamy (1975) patient satisfaction is the real testimony to the efficiency of hospital administration. As the
hospital serves all the members of the society, the expectations of the users differ from one individual to another individual
because everyone carries a particular set of thoughts, feelings and needs. Hence determination of patient’s real feelings is very
difficult. It is the responsibility of the administrator team. "Put yourself in your patient's shoes," was a proverb that explains how to
proceed with a patient. Living in the world of information and technology, nowadays patients are aware of their needs and rights.
They know that health care facilities are established to provide satisfactory and quality health services to them. If the health care
facilities fail to do so, they are considered unsuccessful in implementing their assigned tasks. Health care facility performance
can be best assessed by measuring the level of Patient satisfaction. A completely satisfied patient believes that the organization
has potential in understanding patient needs and demands related to health care. The World Health Organization conference,
supporting health for all, held in 1990 defined future development in health to be human centred. A lot of stress has been made on
investment in health, patient care and patient’s right to delivery of quality health care leading to patient satisfaction. Patient
satisfaction is essential due to multiple reasons. Any unsatisfied patient will not come back to the hospital, and it will lead to loss of
money of patient, as well as wastage of government resources. High satisfaction level will indicate that hospital is working
efficiently. On the other hand, poor satisfaction level helps the management of a hospital to improve on the health services.
Satisfaction is linked to quality of information, advice and general communication sensitivity, perceived effectiveness, competence
or professionalism, attitude of staff, including concern for privacy, ease of access, waiting time, continuity of care, involvement in
decision making and benefit from the treatment or intervention.There are multiple reasons to study the concept of patient
satisfaction. It is considered as an important outcome of the quality of healthcare. Getting views of the patients on the care services
is a much realistic tool to evaluate and improve the health care services since it is based on direct experiences of the users. The
rising strength of consumerism and quality consciousness in the society with a shift from doctor-to-patient relationship to modern
provider-client attitude has highlighted the importance of recording patient views on healthcare delivery. It is also the largest
revenue generating department in the Hospital. Patient satisfaction results in enhanced compliance of the patients to the medical
regimens, appropriate use of medical resources and quick recovery from illness besides, evaluation by the patients makes medical
staff aware about their shortcomings. The employees understand that they will be held accountable to the patients as well as
administration. As a result care
providers tend to acknowledge patient rights and involve them in treatment decisions. Patients’ suggestions also help policy
makers and planners to identify bottlenecks in the system, thereby introducing customized improvements in the service. Physical
facilities are tangible facilities and preparation such as ease of location, department’s cleanliness and tidiness, bed, ventilation and
lighting system, waiting chair, sanitary rest room, ventilation, light, noise, sitting facilities, clean toilets and sufficient examination
room adequate area space availability.Doctor’s service is referred to the physicians’ communication and consultation skills such as
self-introduction, effective consultation techniques, attentiveness, time management, physicians’ punctuation courtesy, respect of a
doctor for a patient and time spent by the doctor in physical examination. Nurse’s service is referred to the nurses’ communication
and assistance skills such as polite and respectful manner towards the patients, feedback to patients ‘questions, patientreferring
process, and nurses’ punctuation Pharmacy service is referred to the respect and attention shown by pharmacy staff, drug
preparation and explanation, adequate amount of drugs, and pharmacy staff’s punctuation. Registration staff services include the
courtesy paid by the registration staff and his/her good communication skills.

SILVER THOMAS HANLEY IN ASSOCIATION WITH ARCHITECTS TEAM 3 PTE, SINGAPORE UNDERTOOK A DESIGN COMPLETION FOR THE CREATION OF A
700 BED TERTIARY HOSPITAL AND A 200 BEDCOMMUNITY HOSPITAL MEDICAL PRECINCT FOR SINGAPORE HEALTH. THE SITE WAS LOCATED AT
JURONG, SINGAPORE.THE FOCUS OF THE BRIEF WAS TO DELIVER A “STATE OF THE ART” MEDICAL PRECINCT THAT WAS TO BE OPERATIONALLY
EFFICIENT AND COST EFFECTIVE, WITH FLEXIBILITY FOR FUTURE EXPANSION. WITH THE MODERN AND UNIQUE DESIGN, THE RESULT INTEGRATED A
CONNECTION BRIDGE LINKING THE COMMUNITY HOSPITAL TO THE TERTIARY, REGIONAL HOSPITAL. THE FACILITIES INCLUDED MEDICAL, SURGICAL,
REHABILITATION AND OBSTETRIC AND PAEDIATRIC INPATIENT UNITS, INTENSIVE CARE UNITS, ASSOCIATED CLINICAL SUPPORT AREAS SUCH AS
OPERATING SUIT, EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT, SPECIALIST OUTPATIENT AND AMBULATORY CARE UNITS AND DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT
AREAS.THE NATURALLY VENTILATED FLOOR PLATES WERE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE AN ENERGY EFFICIENT FACILITY AND THE LANDSCAPE SPACES
