MEDICAL TEAM UNTERWETZIKON, WETZIKON (ZH)

Description

The general practice Ärzteteam Unterwetzikon is located in a new building of the publishing and media house of the Zürcher Oberland Medien AG in Wetzikon, directly at the train station. Studio Archimed was involved in the planning of the building from the very beginning. This was crucial to realize the planning with the necessary measures in terms of process flows and the management of the conveyor belt from the pharmacy robot. The practice has a total of 2 reception areas, 11 examination rooms, 2 waiting rooms, 1 laboratory, 1 X-ray room, 1 multifunctional room (for ECG and other examinations) and 1 Ambi room, which can be used for infusions and as an emergency room.

Particularities

The pharmacy robot from Adroplan is located about 20 meters from the reception, where the medication collection point is located. The routing of the conveyor belt through the examination rooms required increased measures to avoid sound transmission and thus maintain patient discretion. Another special feature is the use of glass partitions for the majority of the examination rooms. These are not placed directly on the facade, as the building has no external shutters and thus adequate privacy is not guaranteed. It was therefore decided to move the examination rooms further inwards. In order to still receive daylight, the rooms were equipped with glazed walls. The placement of the traffic routes towards the facade enables better orientation of the patients within the practice and creates a connection to the outside world.
