Abstract

Healing diseases and getting rid of pain is a major goal of establishing hospitals as a therapeutic environment, for hospitals to achieve this goal effectively, it must have some specifications and standards that qualify them for that, including engineering quality standards, as these standards help to raise the functional performance of the medical institution and qualify it to obtain on the quality of the desired performance and includes: (security and safety, privacy, emergency, radiation safety, chemicals safety, hazardous materials and waste, infection control, fire safety) and includes a set of sub-indicators. This research aims to elicit and measure the importance of engineering quality standards and sub-indicators within hospital buildings, Based on the theoretical study of the basic components of the quality system in general, and to determine its link to the architectural aspect of hospitals in particular. This is achieved by defining engineering standards in accordance with medical standards in hospital buildings. In addition to conducting a field study and a questionnaire of the opinions of specialists in this field to arrange engineering standards and sub-indicators according to importance, based on the opinions of the sample and the results of the field study.
