Specialized Hospital: Maternal and Pediatrics Health Care Facility Complex

1.1 BACKGROUND/OVERVIEW

Philippines is one of the most overpopulated countries in the world. It is rank 13 in the list

of countries by population. The current population of the Philippines is 104,029,224 as of

August 2017 according to the latest United Nations estimates.

Cavite is one of the fast adopting rural place in our country. Its development affects

many aspects including the population and other conditions present. As one of the most

overpopulated, we also need to be assured that our modern facilities and other infrastructures

are meeting the needs of the people especially the ones who are giving birth, the women.

According to the Philippines Statistic Authority the total female population in Cavite is

1,567,283 and 47.9% of these is the total population of children as of 2010.

Based on Philippines QA the number of accredited hospitals in the Cavite are 41. The

accredited government hospitals are 4 and 37 accredited private hospitals. There are

thousands of women that lacks on maternal care in this place. Either prenatal or postpartum

care. On the other hand, there are children that doesnt have a proper guidance that can help

them in shaping their wealth. They are lack on efficient health care because of the available

facilities and equipment in their community. These hospitals that are present in Cavite are

most of all generalized, they are not focusing on the needs of women and children in their

community that is why these hospitals are not efficient enough in providing the right amount

of care and service to the women and children in Cavite.

Nowadays, some hospitals offers a good facilities and equipment but these hospitals are

not affordable enough to all women and children in their community. There are some
government general hospitals here in Cavite that is affordable yet, they cannot cater a

massive number of patients in their community.

These problems lead the researcher to this proposed maternal and pediatrics health care

facility. To fully support the needs of the women and children in our country and to fully give

them the proper services and care they needed. Lastly, to support them in terms of maternal

and pediatrics care.

1.1.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This proposed project entitled: Specialized Hospital: Maternal and Pediatrics Health

Care Facility Complex, located at Imus, Cavite is designed to provide an adequate services

related to women and children. This proposed health care facility offers a wide range of

services in terms of maternal and pediatrics care. This involves prenatal and postpartum

check ups, and other related services. On the other hand this proposed health care facility also

offers a neonatal intensive care on the newborns and in patient and out patient check ups for

children and other possible pediatrics services.

1.1.2 CLIENT/PROJECT PROPONENT

This proposed project is a government owned health care facility. The Department of

Health promotes a health care program that is suitable for the proposed health care facility.

The Department of Health aims to provide a maternal and pediatrics health care

facility that supports the needs of the women and children specially on their health care in

Cavite.
1.1.3 PROJECT OBJECTIVES

This proposed project is designed to satisfy the needs and demands of the users. This

proposed project aims to provide a health care facility for women and children that helps to

give them a satisfying services that they needed. This also aims to increase the number of

women and children health care facility in our country and to help decongest the number of

patients in other women and children health care facilities.

1.1.4 TARGET USERS

PRIMARY: The primary users of this medical facility are the low-middle class women and

children from Cavite that seeks support or help in terms of obstetrics and pediatrics

problem.

This primary users serves as the priority of this proposed project. They are the

women and children that cannot afford the well-maintained hospitals in our country, this

proposed project serves as an alternative for them to have a proper benefit at a low cost way.

SECONDARY: The secondary user of this medical facility are the medical practitioners.

This secondary users helps the primary users which is the women and children to have

a proper care and service in a beneficial way. They are the ones that has a degree in medicine

and any other hospital-related courses.

TERTIARY: The tertiary users of this medical facility are the administrators, crews and

other staffs in the medical field, medical representatives and other patients from different

places.

This tertiary users helps facilitate inside the proposed project. They are the ones that

are capable on maintaining the discipline and cleanliness inside the proposed project. They
are also task to manage the proposed project for the better output and result of each care and

services.

1.1.4 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

The client of this proposed health care facility promotes a Mother-Newborn

friendly hospital. The client wants that the relationship of the mother and her newborn child

starts as early as when she gave birth to her child. So that one of the special requirement is as

much as possible, the ward is adjacent to the neonatal intensive care unit to promote a

Mother-Newborn care.

1.5 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

1.5.1 FOREIGN LITERATURE

1.5.1.1 Literature Review on Maternal Health, Soul City

Synopsis:

Maternal health has been defined as safe motherhood, narrowly

defined to mean ensuring that all women receive the care they need to be safe

and healthy through pregnancy and childbirth. Although most initiatives and
programs state the need to promote maternal health, progress to achieve this is

most often measured in terms of maternal mortality. WHO defines a maternal

death as the death of a woman while pregnant or within 42 days of

termination of pregnancy, irrespective of the duration and the site of the

pregnancy, from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its

management but not from accidental or incidental causes.

Goals for reducing maternal mortality are often expressed in terms of a

reduction in the maternal mortality ratio. The maternal mortality ratio is the

number of maternal deaths per 100 000 live births and measures the risk of a

woman dying once she is already pregnant. The maternal mortality rate is the

number of maternal deaths per 100 000 women aged 15 49 in a given period

and measures a womans risk of dying from pregnancy related causes and her

risk of being pregnant at a particular period of time. The lifetime risk is a

measure of the probability of death over a womans reproductive life. It

assumes that most women have more than one pregnancy in their lifetime and

is therefore a more realistic assessment of the risk an individual woman faces

because of her reproductive capacity.

Critique:

This foreign literature talks about the maternal health of a pregnant

women and if they are having proper services that affects their maternal

health. This literature provides a statistical report on the mortality rate of the

pregnant women. This also explains the causes of their deaths, the facilities

and equipment that is not enough for their activities and situation.

Application:
 This literature helps to plan the Proposed Health Care Facility

properly, by understanding the needs of a pregnant women. This part

contributes on the spatial interrelationship of spaces. With the assessment of

the pregnant womens wealth and health, the researcher will know what to

consider. For example, in the activities of a pregnant woman, if the researcher

is aware of the process of giving birth, the researcher will provide a proper

facility measurement and circulation of spaces. The cause of death of a

pregnant woman is also one of the example of what to consider. The

researcher can prevent the probability of mortality if he knows the factors

affecting the pregnant womans health. The researcher could provide a

therapeutic spaces in the proposed project to help the patients feel cozy and

comfortable.

1.5.1.2 Resilient health care design: Constructing hospitals to help ensure

continuous operation

Synopsis:

When catastrophe strikes, one service a community cant lose is the

hospital. Health care organizations must continue to operate in a crisis. This is

a matter of patient safety, business continuity and public service, says Doug

Erickson, FASHE, CHFM, HFDP, CHC, chair of the Health Guidelines

Revision Committee, which oversees the Guidelines for Design and

Construction of Health Care Facilities.

 Past storms and earthquakes with names that read like a rogues gallery

of ruin. Sandy, Isaac, Ike, Katrina, Allison, Northridge and Andrew have

shown how important it is for certain hospital buildings to withstand high

winds, flooding or seismic activity. In a practice known as resilient design,

health care design and construction professionals are drawing on these

experiences to develop facilities made to resist a variety of natural or human-

induced disasters and to recover quickly afterward.

Thats a new term were using in health care now, since Sandy, says

Mark Kenneday, CHFM, FASHE, vice chancellor for campus operations at

the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock. Recovery

costs to the New York health care sector following Hurricane Sandy in 2012

were estimated at $3.1 billion, highlighting the importance of this issue.

But its a question the health care community has been engaged with

for some time, Kenneday notes: How do you harden facilities to ensure that

operations can persist, millions of dollars and years of research arent lost and

health care is maintained under almost any circumstances, without breaking

the bank?

Health care organizations that have weathered catastrophes are

showing how by rebuilding facilities stronger and better than they were.

Critique:

This foreign literature discussed about how the hospitals can withstand

the disasters in the certain country. This literatures advantage and

disadvantage will help the proposed project to design a disaster resilient health

care facility.

One of the advantage is enumerating the disasters encountered of this

country. By that method, the researcher will have a better idea on how to

design not only a green building but a more disaster resilient health care

facility.

Application:

This foreign literature will help on improving the ideas of the

researcher on resiliency of the proposed health care facility. The disasters that

the country encountered will serve as a measure for the researcher to create a

specialized hospital that can withstand any disaster that will prevail and to

create a more resilient health care facility.

1.5.1.3 How resilience will shape the future of building design

Synopsis:

Hurricanes, flooding droughts, wildfires, landslides and terrorism.

These are the issues well be addressing next in green design if you

buy into the theory that the U.S. Green Building Councils ubiquitous LEED

program helps predict future trends. Past LEED pilot credits have revealed

issues weve neglected, such as water, transit, acoustics, ergonomics and

lighting pollution.
 Looking at LEED pilot credits as if they were a crystal ball, we can see

in them larger trends in the future of design for example, moving toward a

greater emphasis on health and comfort, or a growing interest in site and

community.

In November, USGBCs steering committee for the LEED rating

system announced it had approved three LEED pilot credits on resilience in

design.

We know buildings play a significant role in climate change, which is

causing more disasters and conflicts. And as world leaders met in Paris in

December to address global carbon emissions, they also addressed resilience.

While we challenge ourselves to stop climate change, we are also faced

with how to protect ourselves, how to be resilient, in the face of disasters

already arriving.

"We must have resilience as a main objective when we talk about

climate change," Manuel Pulgar-Vidal, minister of environment in Peru, told

the delegates at COP21.

Critique:

This foreign literature discussed on how resiliency will contribute on

climate change. This literature provides advantages that the researcher can

consider. One of the advantage is to know more about the trends on how to

combine resiliency and sustainability to help change our environment. But on

the other hand, we does not have enough technology and equipment to provide

that kind of concept, that is the disadvantage of this literature.

Application:
 This foreign literature helps the researcher to think out of the box. To

consider other technology or innovations that can help on improving the

Proposed Health Care Facility. This also helps the researcher to provides new

ideas and new trends that is doable and applicable to the Proposed Health Care

Facility.

1.5.2 LOCAL LITERATURE

1.5.2.1 Resilience and Disaster Trends in the Philippines: Opportunities

for National and Local Capacity Building

Synopsis:

This local literature discussed about the works that has been conducted

in the Philippines that is related to resiliency and disaster risk reduction.

Hazards, vulnerability and risk assessment explains on giving awareness to the

different communities about the geophysical disasters such as earthquake.

The different warning systems provides an assurance to the people of

the community that they are warned whatever happened. This local literature

explains the different levels of preparation so that when the disaster comes the

people of the community will be prepared. In our country today, it is not

enough that the people are the only prepared in the different kinds of disaster,

this local literature also helps to assess the resiliency of buildings in terms of

different levels of disasters. This helps on recovery and reconstruction of the

buildings that are not resilient enough to survive in a geophysical disaster and

any other disaster. This also helps to enumerate the different trends that the

researcher can use for the resiliency of the Proposed Health Care Facility.
Critique:

This local literature is an advantage to the Proposed Health Care

Facility because this local literature provide a comprehensive assessment like

pre-disaster risk assessment and post disaster assessment that can help to the

people of health care facility and the people around the community to be

aware of the risk and high consequences of geophysical disasters.

Application:

This local literature will be used in identifying the trends available in

the Philippines and apply it on this Proposed Health Care Facility. This local

literature also helps to give the researcher an ideas on how to improve the

resiliency of the Proposed Health Care Facility. The hazards, vulnerability and

risk assessment topic provides some assessment on the different kinds of

disaster and on how people handle that kind of situation. In that case, the

researcher will provide a conclusion on how to improve the resiliency of this

Proposed Health Care Facility.

1.5.2.2 Factors affecting Maternal Health utilization in the Philippines

Synopsis:

This local literature entitled factors affecting maternal utilization in

the Philippines talks about the different aspects that may consider when

designing a specialized hospital specifically maternal health care facility.

This local literature is helpful for this Proposed Health Care Facility because

of the factors that may affect the health of the pregnant women, in terms of
pre-natal care, delivery care and post natal care. These factors will make the

Proposed Health Care Facility efficient, functional, and convenient because of

the researcher already know the physical growth and the wealth of every

pregnant women that will possibly be admitted in the Proposed Health Care

Facility. This also an advantage in this Proposed Health Care Facility because

it provides some problems that can be solved through this Proposed Health

Care Facility.

Critique:

This local literature has an advantage and disadvantage that might

affect the Proposed Health Care Facility. One of the advantage is the factors of

maternal health that will affect the proposed project. It is an advantage

because it will help the researcher to be more knowledgeable in terms of

maternal health that will help the researcher to provide a right planning on the

proposed project. On the other hand, the researcher is only allowed to provide

an architectural solution for the diverse problem, that is the disadvantage when

planning a health care facility.

Application:

This local literature can help in providing some special space

requirements that can observe and analyze the patients behavior. Through this

local literature the researcher can provide an efficient, functional and

convenient health care facility specializing in maternal and pediatrics services

and care.

1.5.2.3 Safer Pregnancies in the Philippines

Synopsis:

Safer pregnancies is one of the priority in our country, but how can we

achieve that priority if our facilities doesnt meet the demands of our patients

in terms of maternal care?

This local literature explains the maternal health program of DOH that

launched and implemented the Basic Emergency Obstetric Care (BEMOC)

Strategy. This strategy states that provide emergency obstetric care for every

125,00 population and which are located strategically. This strategy call for

families and communities to plan for childbirth and upgrading of technical

capabilities of local health providers. According to the UNICEF, 4,500 women

die every year because of complications from pregnancy and childbirth, the

possible causes of this death rate are lacked of trained birth attendants and lack

on access to proper facilities and most mothers do not always have access to

quality emergency obstetric care services.

Critique:

This local literature provides a good start in terms of health care. But

there are still advantages and disadvantages in this literature. The advantage of

this literature in this Proposed Health Care Facility is considering the safe

delivery and safe maternal care of a pregnant woman. This is an advantage

because of the researcher is required to review the guidelines, measures and

standards provided by the DOH and other handbooks that are related to

planning. The disadvantage of this literature to the proposed project is the

focus of this literature which is safer pregnancies. In our country today, we

people, want to be assured in our health. If we say that this proposed project is
 focused on safer pregnancy, the number of patients in this proposed project

will rapidly increase. This will affect prioritizing the safety of the patients in

this proposed project.

Application:

This local literature helps the proposed project to prove that this kind

of health care facility is needed in our country nowadays. The problems stated

in the synopsis will define what kind of facilities, services and equipment

needed in the Proposed Health Care Facility.

This local literature will apply as a guidelines on the space requirements of

this Proposed Health Care Facility.
