Maximizing Storage in Medical Colleges
Medical colleges today offer interiors designed for the medical student’s experience in mind. Instead of large lecture halls, medical training centers offer high-tech simulation rooms complete with hyper-realistic medical equipment, high-fidelity mannequins, and video cameras for training and debriefing. All that equipment adds up to one thing — not enough storage.
Here are some examples of how optimized healthcare storage can aid faculty and students in promoting efficiency and saving space.
Nurse Servers
For healthcare providers, and students in the medical field, doing their best work means having the right supplies, at the right time — and having them stocked efficiently and effectively. Nurse servers put the necessary supplies within reach when they are needed most. The decentralized storage offered by nurse servers keeps classes at medical centers moving forward. Instead of wasting time in the middle of a lecture looking for supplies, the nurse server can be stocked as part of the training for students.
Choose from pass-thru or pull-out nurse servers. A pass-thru server can be stocked from either side of a wall, while a pull-out nurse server can be ‘pulled out’ from the wall. Either option means that there is no need to enter a sterile area to restock a nurse server and that restocking is less likely to interfere with an ongoing class.
Procedure Room Cabinets
Procedure room cabinets are ergonomically created to enhance the visibility, use, and organization of sterile supply storage right inside the simulation room. Glass or Plexiglas doors allow you to easily identify goods like coronary stents, dressing, catheter storage, and other supplies while keeping them dust-free. A helpful addition for students still learning where what is in the procedure simulation room.
To improve efficiency and productivity, add pullout racks, adjustable shelf dividers, modular storage drawers, or roll-down medical tambour doors to your procedure room medical storage cabinets. Medical supply package sizes can readily be accommodated by adjustable shelving.
Mobile High-Density Storage
Storage is a key consideration throughout a building’s design because not all of the costly simulation equipment is used regularly. By creating a spacious room equipped with a high-density mobile system, an architect can maximize storage space. Leveraging static space as well as vertical space, a high-density mobile system can double, or even triple storage space in an existing footprint.
Medical colleges and training centers are an important part of our healthcare system. Training the next generation of doctors, nurses, and dentists shouldn’t be hindered by poor storage. Flowcare offers optimized storage solutions for all healthcare needs. Call us today
