Abstract

Starting from the study of the spatial/technological organization models of the hospital room (Intensive Care Patient Room, Acuity Adaptable Rooms, Universal Bed Care Delivery) and the main trends regarding the modernization of the architectures of the Italian National Health Service, increasingly attentive to the human dimension and the digital/technological dimension, the paper aims to define design alternatives for the hospital room, trying to combine spatial/technological flexibility with organizational flexibility to optimize workflow in care processes and the appropriateness of spaces to the psycho-physical-social well-being of all the users involved.
