This study examines distance from nurse-station to patient-bed of ward applying to 4 bedroom in provincial medical center in Korea. Methods: The existing five-bed patient rooms, general type of multiple-bed rooms in Korea causes many problems for the amenity of patients. We should reconsider their inconvenience carefully and try to provide the right to keep their privacy and enjoy amenity. The number of patients of multi-bed rooms is very critical point to improve the environmental condition of the patient rooms. This study separate 5 bedroom group and 4 bedroom group, and distance from nurse-station to patient-bed was surveyed and analyzed. Results: The result of this study can be summarized into two points. The first one is that Model-4(4 bedroom) ward has more 12.6% the distance than Model-5(5 bedroom). The second one is that number of patinet bed in ward unit are important todesign of funcional efficiency in ward. Implications: Consideration should be taken into account for the effective bedroom composition and allocation in ward. This Study hopefully may serve as a stepping stone for the standard design of funcional efficiency in ward.
