As instala\u00e7\u00f5es de sa\u00fade modulares s\u00e3o possivelmente mais conhecidas pela rapidez com que podem ser entregues e colocadas em funcionamento, e pelo seu custo de constru\u00e7\u00e3o significativamente menor do que os m\u00e9todos de constru\u00e7\u00e3o tradicionais.  <\/p>\n

Outro grande benef\u00edcio \u00e9 a flexibilidade que um espa\u00e7o modular para cuidados de sa\u00fade pode oferecer. Rob Drabble, Diretor de Im\u00f3veis e Instala\u00e7\u00f5es do Hospital Geral de Kettering, falou sobre como o hospital tem utilizado e valorizado a ala Vanguard Healthcare Solutions. <\/p>\n

\u201cO edif\u00edcio foi originalmente encomendado para fornecer capacidade adicional de enfermarias, mas quando a COVID-19 surgiu durante a sua constru\u00e7\u00e3o em 2020, uma vez conclu\u00eddo, foi utilizado como um espa\u00e7o 'verde' de vital import\u00e2ncia, dada a sua localiza\u00e7\u00e3o, separado do edif\u00edcio principal do hospital. <\/p>\n

\u201cInicialmente, encomendamos o edif\u00edcio \u2013 chamado Edif\u00edcio Sir Thomas Moore \u2013 em regime de arrendamento, mas ele tem sido um sucesso t\u00e3o grande e conseguimos usar o espa\u00e7o com tanta flexibilidade que agora o compramos da Vanguard. Ele ser\u00e1 uma parte permanente e muito valiosa do nosso patrim\u00f4nio. Uma das suas maiores vantagens para n\u00f3s, como hospital, \u00e9 a sua versatilidade.\u201d.  <\/p>\n

\u201cUtilizamos o edif\u00edcio para realocar departamentos e enfermarias do hospital em resposta \u00e0 crise aguda, como sala de espera para pacientes ap\u00f3s a alta e tamb\u00e9m para a maternidade. Mais recentemente, quando enfrentamos um problema na maternidade e precisamos de uma solu\u00e7\u00e3o r\u00e1pida para transferir as pacientes, o edif\u00edcio modular Vanguard foi a escolha natural.\u201d. <\/p>\n

\u201c\u00c9 um ambiente de alt\u00edssima qualidade, adequado para uma ampla gama de pacientes, desde gestantes e m\u00e3es recentes at\u00e9 aqueles que aguardam alta ap\u00f3s o tratamento.

O edif\u00edcio tem 600 m\u00b2 e disp\u00f5e de nove quartos duplos, cada um com casa de banho privativa. A enfermaria inclui ainda salas de servi\u00e7o, espa\u00e7o de armazenamento e uma \u00e1rea de posto de enfermagem. A configura\u00e7\u00e3o interna foi concebida com o objetivo de otimizar o fluxo de pacientes, maximizando a utiliza\u00e7\u00e3o do espa\u00e7o dispon\u00edvel e garantindo a transfer\u00eancia pr\u00e1tica e segura dos pacientes provenientes do edif\u00edcio principal do hospital.<\/p>\n

Em 2020, a instala\u00e7\u00e3o foi montada no estacionamento do pr\u00e9dio principal do hospital. Os m\u00f3dulos foram constru\u00eddos fora do local e i\u00e7ados por guindaste. A equipe de projeto da Vanguard trabalhou em estreita colabora\u00e7\u00e3o com a administra\u00e7\u00e3o do hospital em todos os aspectos do comissionamento, implanta\u00e7\u00e3o e entrega. Tanto a equipe quanto os pacientes elogiaram o novo espa\u00e7o da enfermaria, que era amplo, limpo e iluminado.<\/p>\n
