The entrance space of a hospital has formed an effective period of hospital life since it has reflected the scope and the image of the entire facility. Therefore it has directly influenced by the new formation of healthcare facilities on preserving and growing role of the community health instead of threatening the illnesses. Since entrance space is apart from the other spaces in the facility that has shaped by the restrictive nature of the medical technology, the space most efficiently implement these new objectives more than any space of the entire facility. However, entrance spaces of hospitals in Turkey are still bothered with many insufficiencies and displayed a problematic panorama. Therefore, this thesis has obtained the problems of main entrance space, and has analyzed it with a consistent form of criteria to gather new solution proposals. In order to serve for this purpose, the present Turkish health care environment has explored and entrance space has been analyzed around new emerging concepts that reflect the changing ideals of the community. To present the problems and solution proposals about this specific place sufficiently, they are also evaluated through design and performance criteria. The essence of coping with the stress created by the environment with healing potential is emphasized. As a result, this thesis is expected to influence further researches, new hospital main entrance space designs as well as the renovation of older ones.

Streamlining a hospital information system Dağlı, Duygu; Onay, Lamia Zeynep; Department of Business Administration (2011) The success of a Hospital Information System (HIS) is related to the software, its users, and the fit between the system and the hospital’s operations. The objective of this thesis is to analyze the Hospital Information System used by a private hospital, and streamline the system to better fit the requirements of the hospital. The modules of the HIS, the processes, the requirements of external parties, the attitudes of users as well as the control mechanisms and the forms are analyzed through observations, ...
Design evolution of healthcare buildings: city hospitals as a new building typology in Turkey Nevrim, Selin; Güzer, Celal Abdi; Department of Architecture (2020) After the year 2014, a new and alternative model of healthcare services had been introduced to reorganize the contribution of the private sector on healthcare investments in Turkey. The essence of this new model was creating healthcare centers established in various provinces under the title of the "city hospital". City Hospitals have radical differences when compared with traditional health care buildings. Furthermore, how the projects have been achieved and the investment model have not previously been im...
Solar-hydrogen stand-alone power system design and simulations Uluoğlu, Arman; Tarı, İlker; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2010) In this thesis, solar-hydrogen Stand-Alone Power System (SAPS) which is planned to be built for the emergency room of a hospital is designed. The system provides continuous, off-grid electricity during the whole period of a year without any external electrical power supply. The system consists of Photovoltaic (PV) panels, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) based electrolyzers, PEM based fuel cells, hydrogen tanks, batteries, a control mechanism and auxiliary equipments such as DC/AC converters, water pump, pipe...
Evaluation of the architects' concern of the accessibility in intensive care units referring to evidence-based design Sioofy Khoojine, Negar; Erkılıç, Mualla; Department of Architecture (2020-11) Due to the technological and medical improvements and awareness of the patient- centered approach, architectural design interventions of nursing units in healthcare centers are becoming very important to provide a suitable care process. Among various nursing units, the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) environment needs to provide constant and quick access to patients in terms of visibility and physical accessibility. In this field, there is various evidence beyond the architectural filed such as medical, social, o...
SEISMIC PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF BASE-ISOLATED HOSPITAL BUILDING WITH VARIOUS ISOLATOR MODELING APPROACHES Çabuk, Eser; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-9-09) In Turkey, seismic base isolation have become mainly used passive earthquake control system especially among hospital structures after the amendment of Ministry of Health in 2014, regulating the design of hospitals in high seismic zones. Rubber and sliding type of isolators have been applied, and several different hysteresis models, which are essentially acceptable in seismic codes, were used in their design process. However, due to the complexity in the development of highly nonlinear models, engineers ten...
