1 Design Concept Many of places that people go for relaxation. Choosing a familiar place of relaxation and transferring that experience to the patient helps, reduce stress and injury in a hospital.

Zero Patient Falls

Color

Flooring

Other Consideration

The main focus in this project is reducing the fall in patient room by consideration different aspects; such as avoiding swinging door in bathroom and using wider opening and provide sliding door, adjustable toilet seat, exploring over bed table design and IV Pole and reducing the turning, grabbing, pushing and pulling (Pati, et al., 2015).

The advice was using pale colors (Devlin, et al., 2003) and avoiding to use white color because white color have different impact in people under the condition sensitive in their environment (Dijkstra, et al., 2008).

Using SmartCells flooring was recommended to reduce fall injured if happened(Tideiksaar, 2007) & (Knoefel et al., 2013). The SmartCells can use for bedroom and bathroom.

Also, the design have other consideration such as; using natural image to give the patient positive affect (Pati, et al., 2014) & (Lankston, et al.,2010) , seamless, non Porous and smooth, easy to maintain and clean, does not support microbial growth to reduce infection (Malone, & Dellinger, 2011).
