Plan Distancing Guidelines in Healthcare with Digital Floorplans

When it comes to managing social distancing guidelines for patient and waiting rooms, cafeterias, staff rooms, and common areas, project staff have largely relied on gaffers tape and yardsticks to set up the complex space management layouts needed to stay in compliance.

FacilityONE’s Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is built around a powerful interactive digital blueprint. Used by administrators and facilities & maintenance directors from coast to coast, implementing this technology will greatly decrease the stress and guesswork when changing social distancing guidelines force planners to go back to the drawing board.

Because SMARTPRINT® is based on your healthcare facilities architectural or CAD drawings, the measurements that can be taken in the system are to scale. This ensures precise measurements when planning out different and space layout strategies. Below are other critical features of interactive blueprints throughout the Healthcare industry.

Utilize all Available CAD Background Layers
Having instant access to see all your facilities background layers like HVAC, electrical, and lighting schedules, allows planners to take many factors into consideration when changing guidelines are altered. For instance, knowing where your HVAC inlets and outlets are can help when determining the best placement for patient or public seating clusters in rooms or common areas.

Built-in Measurement Tools
Having the ability to measure any room instantly and remotely greatly decreases the time it takes to physically measure and place chair and bed locations. Imagine being able to measure and plan your spacing arrangements without physically being in the area you’re planning.

Customizable Annotations Layers
With FacilityONE’s customizable annotation builder, you can plan for just about any scenario. No matter what the approved social distancing guidelines are, utilizing multiple annotations allows you to visually see each layout scenario as well as designated areas like COVID-19 or quarantine rooms/wings.

Create multiple annotations to view one by one or to layer on top of each other

Print Everything
You will have the freedom to print any annotation layer or combination of backgrounds to PDF files. This capability allows full transparency when presenting your plan to stakeholders or compliance personnel who will see color-coded measurements of patient/resident rooms and common areas as well as individual facility floor plans.

Safety and Emergency Contingencies
SMARTPRINT displays information on critical details that can be used in emergency response situations like flooding, fire and more. Remote users can locate shut-offs, identify electrical connectivity, and pinpoint safety systems quickly, saving precious time in an emergency situation.

Digital blueprints are the future’s answer to the complex realities of managing your hospital or community operations and are becoming more prevalent across the industry.
