Abstract
The main contribution of paper is for designers through identification of appropriate shape geometry required for care givers in a hospital by using space syntax technique. Healthcare management field is at a boom now a days, and facilitating nurse is one of the important aspect coming up in future, thus a lot of new courses in this field are also been introduced and management is in demand. Focus is on creating the optimal conditions for innovation in healthcare, which has more to do with team dynamics and mindset than standard processes and tools. Researchers are rigorously working to improve patient safety by increasing and improving interface with nurse. This study systematically analyses the Nurse Station typo-morphology, and simulates nurse vision. The visual connectivity is measured on depth map graphs. Hence the aim is to reduce staff stress and fatigue by support space distribution by increasing effectiveness in delivering care. A depth map comparative analysis of three types of the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU), Medical Intensive Care Unit MICU and Critical Care Unit CCU found at hospitals Hallym University Medical Center, South Korea (HUMC), is analyzed here. Concussively, it was proved that L-Shape provides maximum visibility, where as I shape provides
