title: [Hospital design: technical organizational devices and solutions facilitating the orthopedic traumatologic patient].
abstract: Taking the institution of a new Hospital as a hint, the author underlines the need for the newly realized Hospitals to be planned, equipped and organized in a rational way so that they may offer a "quality leap" in the sanitary assistance raising it to the levels already reached in other Countries. For this purpose some planning devices and technical innovations are to be suggested (in services of medical interest) which aim at making the stay in hospital of an orthopedic-traumatologic patient more advantageous. Next to the constructive solutions, passive, it is necessary to underline the utility of the stay in hospital to become "active". With this term the author means both the way of conceiving the stay in hospital, characterized by the so-called "bed physical exercises", organized by a "ward physioterapist", and a real "active" participation of a patient in the life of the ward in its daily aspects even the smallest ones.
