Lung Center
This study is about proposing a Lung Center in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. The
researcher did come up with this study since the said municipality has not yet offering some
healthcare facilities with regards to respiratory diseases. Upon knowing some reasons about the
problems encountered by the people in terms of health, the researcher gathered related articles,
journals, books and studies that will be useful for the study.
Lung center facilities

GovPh(2017) stated that the Lung Center of the Philippines Sleep Laboratory has now
the capability to provide the expertise and the resources for the most affordable sleep study in the
country. Most importantly, the staff has been specially trained to take care of patients being. And
its link up with the different durable medical equipment providers and experts in the field can
assure its appropriate treatment.
The Ambulatory Medical Oncology Unit (AMOU) of the Lung Center of the Philippines
is an out-patient facility that aims to offer quality medical and nursing cancer care treatment
among stable adult patients with cancer. It was established by the Section on Oncology of the
Department of Pulmonary Medicine.

The establishment of the Lung Center of the Philippines

According to GovPh (2014) the Lung Center of the Philippines was established
through Presidential Decree No. 1823 on January 16, 1981 to provide the Filipino people state-
of-the-art specialized care for lung and other chest diseases.

The Center was inaugurated on January 23, 1982 as a tertiary level hospital with the view
of "meeting the anticipated health problems of respiratory nature on a national coverage as a
coordinated effort of the Ministry of Health, other government agencies and the private sector
committed to health." It was on Valentine's day in 1974, when Dr. Garcia, then Director of the
Quezon Institute approached then First Lady Imelda R. Marcos for assistance to rehabilitate the
hospital. Aware of the deteriorating physical set-up and the financial difficulties being
encountered by Quezon Institute, she offered some support but expressed her vision of putting up
specialty medical institutions, which included a Lung Center. By 1979, Dr. Garcia received glad
tidings that the project would push through. Construction work began on a 12-hectare lot donated
to the Lung Center of the Philippines, Inc. by the National Housing Authority.
In a tragic twist of events that happened on May 16, 1998, all the glory and fame that the
LCP had achieved practically went up in smoke. A fire that gutted 80% of the hospital building
and facilities, temporarily set back the time table for more ambitious research developments and
promotive health programs. The reopening of the Center last March 1, 1999 was an occasion for
rejoicing and relief, especially by those who depended on the hospital because they could not get
the specialized treatment, they needed anywhere else.

Healthcare interior design
Perkins &Will (2016) stated that the quality of care is directly related to the quality of the
healthcare interior design. The creation of healthcare environments that complement and enhance
the clients' universal goal to provide compassionate care. The collaborative design process
ensures the delivery of enduring environments which address the needs of the community while
balancing issues such as image, budget, functional efficiency, future flexibility and on-going
maintenance.
Understanding the healthcare environment is complex. Identifying and implementing safe,
maintainable, supportive settings by balancing sophisticated technology with access to nature,
enhancing productivity and morale with thoughtful detailing and effective space usage,
accommodating flexibility with careful planning.

Healthcare Planning
In the future, medical districts will be more than destinations for healthcare. They will be
Health Districts—healthy places to heal, work, and live where new ideas on improving
healthcare and population health can be developed, tested, and disseminated.
Perkins &Will (2016) stated on their study about “Health District Planning is a
Significant Component” that pioneering the district approach will connect community and
hospital, public health and healthcare, and urban design and medical planning. Working closely
will identify strategies, projects, and partnerships that address the unique health challenges faced
by each community and deliver socio-economic benefits.
Health District Planning prepares our healthcare clients for the new healthcare economy,
where the investment will be shifting from “brick-and-mortar” facilities to shared community
settings where disease can be maintained or prevented at lower costs. The plans can be
conducted at a high-level to define vision and strategy, or at a detailed level to develop
individual projects or implementation and tracking tools.

A Vision and Planning Framework for Health Districts
Perkins &Will (2016) stated in their article” A Vision and Planning Framework for
Health Districts” that the U.S. healthcare industry is undergoing the transformation of a century.
The move away from the fee-for-service payment model and the Affordable Care Act are driving
a paradigm shift towards disease prevention and population health management with services
increasingly delivered in lower-cost, community-based settings. Redefining healthcare
typologies and planning methods is an integral part of this transformation. An increasing number
of hospitals and health systems are already joining forces and partnering with community
organizations to invest in programs that are intended to keep citizens healthy and out of the
hospital. Many of these initiatives, however, fall short of addressing the socio-economic and
environmental root causes of unhealthy behaviors, which are impacted by the planning, design,
and operations of health facilities. This research paper proposes a new planning paradigm for
healthcare called Health District Planning. A Health District is a place where investments are
targeted to improve population health outcomes and to inspire healthy behaviors. Best practices
from various case studies, and related evidence from public health and healthy community
design research is synthesized into a four-part framework—the 4 P’s of Health District Planning:
(i) population health, (ii) place, (iii) partnerships, and (iv) performance. The goal is to offer a
guideline for planning the Health Districts of the future.
