Abstract
The article is devoted to an analytical analysis of the key principles of designing medical and wellness facilities in accordance with current international standards and requirements (JCI - Joint Commission International, FGI - Facility Guidelines Institute, iHFG - International Health Facility Guidelines). The research examines the principles of forming architectural and planning solutions, which are key factors in creating a safe and highly efficient model of healthcare facilities. The article examines the importance of the influence of technological, sanitary-epidemiological and socio-economic aspects on the design of healthcare facilities. There is also a fundamental difference in the approaches to designing medical facilities. Within the framework of the national approach, the process of developing architectural and planning solutions proceeds from understanding healthcare facilities as a civil building with a strict list of requirements and regulations, while international standards consider the design process as an integrated approach taking into account high-tech processes, where planning decisions directly follow from medical activities, functionality and adaptability. The research results can be used both by design organizations for a more accurate understanding of the process of developing architectural and planning solutions, and by government agencies for making changes and additions to existing norms and rules due to their inconsistency with modern high-tech processes.
