Operating rooms are among the most demanding and complex areas of a hospital. This is not just because of the interdisciplinary workflows
and the high hygiene and infection prevention requirements, but also because the flows of patients, staff, and material from sterile and
contaminated environments meet in an operating room.
Operating rooms are highly equipped areas with electricity, video and data lines, medical gases, and sometimes also special ventilation
systems. Moreover, innovative surgical methods and advances in medical technology result in constantly changing requirements with regard to
work processes and room concepts, as well as cost efficiency aspects.
Therefore, the flexibility required to accommodate future modifications must be considered as early as the planning phase of OR areas.
Alongside the structural, hygienic, and medical aspects which must be taken into account during the concept development for an OR
department, the ergonomic requirements to be met by the workplaces in an operating room must also be considered.
HT provides support to architects, medical technology planners, doctors, and operators as early as the preparation of such measures with its
expertise acquired in more than 7,000 projects completed worldwide. With our modular room solutions, we implement flexible and
forward-looking operating room solutions in cooperation with major manufacturers of medical technology for OR equipment – from
stand-alone, ambulatory ORs, to fully equipped surgery departments including ventilation technology and room control – on schedule and on
budget.
