Optimizing Medical Storage for Healthcare Environments
Pegasus Medical Concepts Incorporated is a worldwide leader in providing successful medical storage solutions for today's leading Healthcare Organizations.
This course examines why medical storage requires a different design approach, as well as additional knowledge, than office or industrial spaces. Participants will explore how hygiene, workflow, and compliance influence layout decisions and how standardized modular systems built to the DIN 3394 / ISO 6040 standard improve compatibility across departments. These systems, available in various materials, sizes, and depths, allow facilities to create tailored solutions that adapt over time while reducing long-term costs. Through real-world examples, architects will learn how thoughtful medical storage design enhances safety, efficiency, and flexibility in today’s healthcare environments.
- Differentiate medical storage from office or industrial storage by examining how environmental sensitivity, hygiene, and regulatory compliance influence design decisions.
- Identify the main families of medical storage equipment, where they are used in healthcare facilities, and how efficient layouts and ergonomic design improve staff workflow, reduce risks, and maximize costly square footage.
- Recognize the role of standardized, compatible storage systems from a single manufacturer in supporting smooth workflow, ease of use, and reliable chain of custody for sterile and non-sterile supplies
- Analyze case studies of medical storage applications to determine best practices that balance efficiency, safety, and space utilization in healthcare design.
