![]() ![]() According to the results of our methodologies being used in one selected hospital in Egypt, the average of the satisfied standards was 43%, standards that could be satisfied were 24%, not applicable standards were 34%, and the average layout score was 25. In addition, the layout score was measured using the adjacent algorithm as one of the graph heuristic methods to determine whether the department or the whole hospital can be redesigned to meet international standards. In this study, the collected standards were weighted using an entropy algorithm to evaluate different departments in various hospitals. The evaluation methodology is a step in the redesign process that measures the performance of healthcare buildings according to international standards. ![]() The redesign of a healthcare facility is essential for ensuring a serene healing environment for the patients and thus influences their healing rates, reduces the amount of time spent in the facilities, and impacts their level of satisfaction with the care provided. ![]() The primary goal of healthcare facilities is to provide high-quality care consequently, the design of healthcare facilities and their environments directly affects the facility's productivity, the organization's economic performance, the experienced clinical outcomes in the hospital, as well as patient and staff satisfaction. By using the proposed method in this study, besides considering the variety of criteria, maximizing and minimizing the criteria has also been done simultaneously.Designing a healthcare facility is one of the most challenging tasks due to the complexity associated with these facilities. Wide range of approaches have been introduced to help decision makers this study presents an integrated model of Gray relation analysis and non-linear programming method and create some improvements on previous studies. The decision makers have to choose between Layout design alternatives and their choice have to consider all decision criteria. In this paper, a corrected non-linear programming method with Grey correlations has been used for choosing the best layout among the layouts produced by ALDEP software, because in choosing a layout design, several criteria with regard to the quality and quantity are simultaneously considered. Layout designing is one of the most useful research domains for improving the facility efficiency and human resources in organizations, since it composes the best layout designed by engineers to the organization by qualitative and quantitative criteria and choosing the best alternative. ![]()
