Hospital Infrastructure

Each and every medical equipment is unique and has unique need to function. Some equipment require more space, some require load bearing structure, some require shielding, some require good air conditioning, some require good air ventilation, some require to be fixed and some require to be portable..... A good medical equipment planner knows all these requirements of all various types of medical equipments.

We understand operational standards....NABH for India and JCI for international hospital operational standards for quality healthcare. These standards do dictate the design as there are many patient and facility safety issues which are to be addressed.  Keeping these issues in mind, we give inputs to the design team.  

We do both : 1) medical equipment planning and 2) procurement. We can do tendering and also techno commercial evaluation of the bids. We offer unbiased recommendations for the selection of medical equipments. We help raise purchase orders and offer help during the installation phase of medical equipments.

We offer complete Turnkey services. From design stage to build stage to equipment stage... Design= Architectural design, structural design, Mepf design, interior design etc., Build = Construction services... Equip = Medical equipment planning, pre procurement documentation and tendering, equipment procurement, Installation...

We work for any size of a hospital project.... from 5 beds to 5000 beds... clinics to teaching hospitals... In Ahmedabad or any city inside India or outside India...

Maulik R. Shah is a biomedical consultant with an expertise in the field of medical equipment planning for the hospital projects.  We have a team of professionals who get together as a team on a hospital project.  Depending upon the size of the project, the team members do change. If you need our expertise for either a new hospital project or renovation of an existing hospital / nursing home/ clinic, please do feel free to contact us. If you have your own team, we will work with your team. If you don't have one, we will provide you a team to execute your project. 

A medical equipment planner is the key professional who has to interact with the owner of the hospital, designing architect, the mepf consultant, the construction contractor and the equipment vendors.   A medical equipment planner speaks all the types of technical languages suitable to all the professionals involved in the project.   A medical equipment planner has to be a true techno commercial entrepreneur to understand all the technicalities of the medical equipments and the commercial aspect of the project too.

One type of medical equipment........... many brands are available....

Our medical equipment planning is vendor neutral.  Our planning and design process will be suitable for any brand equipment.

It is very important that a medical equipment planner is involved in the project from the design stage.

Medical equipment  must  dictate the  hospital design.

Hospital Infrastructure =  Building Infrastructure +  Medical equipment infrastructure 

There are more than 500 types of medical equipments being used in a large size hospital.  Therefore, it is very important for a medical equipment planner to know the technicalities of all these equipments.  Further more, it is also very important to know how to select a right equipment and then find out the right place and right time to install that equipment.  

It is very important to know the functional flow chart of a particular department. By knowing the work flow, one can design the work areas of that particular department. The space allocation of each area, adjacency of the areas, zoning of the areas etc., are very important in the efficient design of a particular department.

Medical Equipment Planning is at the center of the hospital project planning.   It is the core of all types of planning. All other designs such as space planning by architects, mepf planning by mepf consultant, load and structure related planning by the structural consultant, construction related planning by the civil engineers or construction contractors etc., depend on technical inputs given by the medical equipment planner.
