  • The Evolution of Hospitals from Antiquity to the Renaissance
    Acta Theologica Supplementum 7 2005 THE EVOLUTION OF HOSPITALS FROM ANTIQUITY TO THE RENAISSANCE ABSTRACT There is some evidence that a kind of hospital already existed towards the end of the 2nd millennium BC in ancient Mesopotamia. In India the monastic system created by the Buddhist religion led to institutionalised health care facilities as early as the 5th century BC, and with the spread of Buddhism to the east, nursing facilities, the nature and function of which are not known to us, also appeared in Sri Lanka, China and South East Asia. One would expect to find the origin of the hospital in the modern sense of the word in Greece, the birthplace of rational medicine in the 4th century BC, but the Hippocratic doctors paid house-calls, and the temples of Asclepius were vi- sited for incubation sleep and magico-religious treatment. In Roman times the military and slave hospitals were built for a specialised group and not for the public, and were therefore not precursors of the modern hospital. It is to the Christians that one must turn for the origin of the modern hospital. Hospices, originally called xenodochia, ini- tially built to shelter pilgrims and messengers between various bishops, were under Christian control developed into hospitals in the modern sense of the word. In Rome itself, the first hospital was built in the 4th century AD by a wealthy penitent widow, Fabiola. In the early Middle Ages (6th to 10th century), under the influence of the Be- nedictine Order, an infirmary became an established part of every monastery.

Our objective was to identify perceptions towards the current discharge process and possible ways to improve it in a community teaching hospital in Las Vegas, NV. Methods: Quality improvement with cross-sectional survey questionnaire. Participants: 200 hospital staff (total possible participants) who were involved in the discharge process. 149 (actual participants) completed the surveys (response rate of 75%) which included multiple choices as well as open ended questions; 95 nurses, 43 residents, and 11 case managers. Results were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: 44% of respondents believed that the hospital discharge process is efficient while 56% did not. Frequent delays in discharge process from hospital were estimated often by 57.7%. Easiest placements were home health (51.7%) followed by hospice (19.5%). The most time- consuming placements were skilled nursing facility (43%) followed by acute rehab (22.8%).

  • The Impact of Bimaristans Design on Design Factors of Therapeutic Buildings an Environmental Field Study in Makkah, Saudi Arabia
    59 Al Anoud Al Ansary & Hirao Kazuhiro The Impact of Bimaristans Design on Design Factors of Therapeutic Buildings An Environmental Field Study in Makkah, Saudi Arabia Alanoud Alansari, Contact Author “[email protected]” Hirao Kazuhiro KAZUHIRO HIRAO, Department of Architecture and Urban Design, Ritsumeikan University, Japan Abstract: Keywords: "Paradise Garden" is a concept used in Bimaristans "Islamic historical therapeutic Therapeutic buildings buildings" which has given rise to the application of several spiritual and aesthetic Paradise Principle meanings that helped to raise the efficiency of the therapeutic environment. The Bimaristan hypothesis revolves around the idea that the technological development increases the interest in the functional side rather than the aesthetic side in the current therapeutic buildings. This had a negative impact on the efficiency of the functional environment which exceeded to the satisfaction and comfort of the buildings’ users. This hypothesis has been tested through two types of studies: The first study was an ‘Analytical Study’ (of 4 hospitals) analyzing the horizontal projections to measure the effects of the natural lighting and ventilation. In the second study, questionnaires were distributed to both patients and staff in the therapeutic buildings to measure the therapeutic environment efficiency and the extent of satisfaction among of the buildings’ users. It was concluded that the natural lighting and ventilation drive up healing (treatment) rate in the therapeutic environment. This concluded that the technological advances in the medical field helped to raise the level of functional performance and thus replaced a large part of the role of the natural lighting and ventilation.
