Characteristics

Centralizing functions as a medical care zone

A medical care zone with centralized functions required for engaging in the challenges of psychiatry, i.e., emergency medical care and treatment of complications, such as a pharmacy equipped with clean bench functions, the latest automated testing equipment, four ecography and electroencephalogram rooms, testing rooms with classrooms, and radiology rooms with MRI and multi CT.
The EPU (Emergency Psychiatric Unit) has a floor area of 2,000 sq m and mainly consists of private rooms, and enables patients a relaxing living environment in a spacious setting. The setting is exhibiting the effect of averting problems of violent behaviour caused by acute conditions and conflicts between patients. Along with the MPU and EPU, the ward is also composed of units according to the conditions of patients and is a fitting therapeutic environment.
In an aim to accelerate treatment and ensure safety, the Ward incorporates a significant amount of advanced equipment and systems such as 170 key cards for the entire building, PHS for the entire staff, an emergency call system and mobile electronic carts.

the corridor and the sweet quilted objects beckon to be touched.

and wooden artwork.

 

Artwork has also been incorporated into the new Ward to introduce global ideas. Under the philosophy of making "hospitals as the most beautiful place for humans", art, which stimulate the five senses, is attracting a lot of attention in the field of medicine as well.
The paintings and works of art in the new Ward create depth as if the walls of the corridors have become an endless and expansive blue sky. In the new Ward, once an artwork is found, it gives one the feeling of wanting to find the next one, and the Ward is filled with warm light and gentle artwork.
