• W2098379862 abstract "Research was undertaken based upon the suspicion that there were recurrent problems withthe design and construction of hospital en-suites. An investigation was planned to confirmwhether or not this suspicion was true and that there were, in fact, recurrent problems.Following on from this it would be to find out if they existed, what they were and whetherand how they could be overcome. These objectives needed to be formulated, and thenpositioned within a framework that identified if the practitioners within the industry evenknew about the problems and if they did, whether they chose not to resolve them or could notovercome the barriers that prevented the resolution.A review of the Literature identified that little research had been undertaken in the area ofproblems with the design and construction of hospital en-suites. The broader perspective ofproblems within the construction industry was covered by the theories supportingconstruction Process Improvement. This area was reviewed and it was found that the resultsof practical implementation of Process Improvement were rather less successful than hadoriginally been anticipated. The Sub-processes that combined together to make up the wholeprocesses were considered and reviewed also. Theories relating to the improvement of theSub-process of Design; Management, Quality and Briefing were reviewed. These reviews ofthe Process and Design Sub-processes identified that there were significant barriers withinorganisation that made improvements difficult to implement.The opportunity arose to review the suggested existence of problems with the design andconstruction of hospital en-suites by way of case Study research at the £330million Derby PFIhospital redevelopment. At this project approximately 400 en-suites were going to beconstructed. Action Research was proposed to implement practical interventions aimed atidentifying the problems and their solutions. During the course of the research a secondproject, the similarly sized £330 million PFI redevelopment of the Mansfield hospital project,also with approximately 400 en-suites. This provided the basis for a second Case Study. Theoriginal research approach of Action Research within a Case Study was modified to two CaseStudies each embracing Action Research contained within an overarching Action Researchstrategy.Planned interventions in the construction processes were undertaken to identify whetherknowledge could become embedded in that construction process that would eliminate anyproblems identified in the design and construction of hospital en-suites. The techniques forinformation gathering included workshops, constructing Mock-ups, Simulation exercises,Structured interview based on carefully prepared Questionnaires to form agenda's and Site Visits. From the research emerged the 'Notion of Solute' as a theoretical model for problemresolution which overcomes the difficulty of Knowledge Transfer. From the investigationswithin the two Case Studies into hospital en-suites a solution to the problems required thetransfer of the knowledge of three components:The nature of the problems,The implications of not remedying the problems.Recommendations for resolving the problems.These three components, which formulate the solutions, were suggested to be defined as a'Solute'. This is a distinct and focussed 'package of knowledge' that can be readilytransferred, both between individuals and also between projects. This 'Solute' is a theoreticzmodel that could be transferred to other problems within hospitals, other problems withinconstruction projects and even to problems in other industries. Each 'Solute' is thenpopulated with the specific parameters required to enable a problem to be understood and asolution to be implemented.Keywords: Knowledge, Design, Quality, Hospital, En-suite." @default.
