Pollution Release from Free Stress Environment
Hospitals near to Nature
ELM WATANIYA… In 2000 Started as a department of its parent company, GFS Trading & Contracting in the year 2000 by its founders – Mr. JS Tomar & Dr. Mamta Tomar
In 2004 ELM went on to become an independent entity as ELM Trading Co. In 2005 Founded a sister company JM Enviro Technologies in India; handling environmental projects within India
In 2012 Acquired general Trading & Contracting License so name changed as “ELM WATANIYA General Trading & Contracting Company”
Physical Safety
Manual Handling of Patients According to the American Nurses Association An estimated 52% of nurses complain of chronic back pain 20% requesting assignment transfers and Up to 12% leaving the profession as a result of back injuries
Solution…… For Nurses Less pain & muscular fatigue
CEILING TRACK HOISTS
For Management Reduced number of
Safer working conditions and better ergonomics Reduced risk of injury
Improved job satisfaction
Increased morale
Staff can work to an older age
More energy at the end of the work shift
staff injuries Improved patient safety Reduced worker’s compensation medical and indemnity costs Reduced lost workdays & sick leave Improved recruitment and retention of Paramedics Fewer resources required to replace injured staff
MEANS COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION
Where to Install Sensory Room
Rehabilitation
X-ray
Mortuary
Wash Room
Ward
Ward Corridor
Pathology Lab
Patient Transfer
ICU & OT
Electrical Safety
Isolated Power Supply (IPS) SAFETY BEHIND THE SOCKETS Normally UPS with TN earthing
system used for uninterrupted power supply No patient isolation Any current leak may be fatal Recommended to use IPS in OT, ICU, CCU & Recovery rooms which raise alarms & isolate the patient from any eventuality of Electric Shock
Specialized Fume Hoods
Complete Air Control in Labs
Specialized Extractors & scrubbers used to arrest the harmful extracts and isotopic materials
Innovative Air Control System Complete air circulation and ventilation controlled by a Central unit consisting
of Electronic Controlled system developed by Waldner, Germany Airflow-controller recognizes the requirement of fume hood individually at all time Within seconds precisely & securely adjust Airflow rates thus saving energy Each laboratory is controlled individually Complete system is microprocessor controlled If system deviates from the standard set point an audio visual alarm triggers Sash opening controlled automatically, opening more than the set point indicated with alarms Such Air Control System doesn’t allow escape of any hazardous emission in the main duct
HVAC Water Treatment
Chemical Free Treatment
Complex modulated signal field provides the necessary molecular agitation for scale and bio-film prevention & removal Incoming Hard water
Reaction Chamber with Solenoid coil
Treated water with minerals, colloids treated & the calcium converted to aragonite crystals
The Process…..
Agitation caused by Triangular waves Converting colloids into nonionic bodies Breaking hydrogen bonds of water
molecules Capturing of nonionic bodies within water molecules Removal from the system & ……..
Result Deposit free Heat Exchangers & Pipes
Fiber Free Environment
Pre-insulated Ducts Clean ducting system for health care
industry Self-cleaning mechanism for dust removal No exposed insulation, material sandwiched between metallic plates Much better fire properties than conventional systems Superior Indoor Air Quality Longer Life Non-fibrous material Consistent insulation properties over a longer life period
Sound Pollution Control
Super Silence Insulation Reduces duct Air Side noise substantially
Active Anti-microbial protection 24x7 Improved indoor air quality Noise blocking
Vibration Dampening Non-Fibrous 100% Recyclable Zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) Zero GWP (Global Warming Potential)
Alternate Water Source
Grey Water Treatment & Reuse
Alternate Source of water for Reuse
Patients & Staff
Multi Sensory Rooms
A space for complete relaxation & Stress Release for All Ages with Special Effects of Light - Sound – Music & Aroma
Where to Install…….. Sensory rooms provide: An interactive environment that not only helps to distract their mind off of their condition or illness Also offers various stimulating effects in the form of lighting, sounds, smells and textures These elements all work together to help patients of all ages feel calm and relaxed, reducing their stress levels and frustrations to aid their recovery Massage, aromatherapy & reminiscence work, Physiotherapy, communication & stress release Children wards Trauma Centers for pain distraction Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation Special Staff & Patient’s family Sensory Studios
Patients & Staff
Dry Water Therapy
The Technology….. The unique combination of water, warming and power
The warmth of the water radiates deep into the body's tissue
layers Stimulating the circulation and metabolism, relaxing the muscles and releasing tension The entire body benefits from the carefully controlled power of the waterjets while floating almost weightlessly on the dry "water surface".
Immediate Relief from Stress
Greenhouses
Greenhouse in Hospitals To grow fresh Organic vegetables
Can be used for Gardening Therapy Hydroponic farming means without
soil Henry Ford Bloomfield hospital in USA conducting Educational classes for patient families to teach about Organic farming & Healthy cooking Used as Relaxation centers Tremendous increase in revenue generation
Why Greenhouse in hospitals Facilitate stress reduction & helps the body to reach a more
balanced state Help patients to summon up their own inner healing resource Help patients to come to terms with incurable medical condition Provide a setting where staff can conduct physical therapy, gardening therapy etc. with patients Provide staff with a needed retreat from stress of work Provide a relaxed setting for patient-visitor interaction away from hospital interior.
Conclusion Future Hospitals in Kuwait must be More safe for Patients, their families & staff More Pollution Free with limited use of Chemicals & Near to Nature
Well Equipped to keep More Relax & Stress Free Environment
ELM WATANIYA team is ready to assist you in all subjects covered in this presentation
