Importance of design and layout
Incorporating sluice or dirty utility rooms into the architectural design of new or refurbished care homes, hospitals, and other care facilities, needs consideration of all factors relating to, as a minimum, infection control, access, flow of work, and layout. Sluice room design requires an approach that meets the specific needs of the hospital, as well as associated regulations. Most critically, it requires a design specification that helps to reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) resulting from cross-infection from body fluids and human waste.
