Results from worked examples
- The clinic’s waiting room is 9.28 m², meeting the 3.3 m² required.
- A four-bed room of 23.92 m² is enough for a clinic, but a hospital may put only 3 beds in it.
Clinics · Appointments and waits
Try the appointment book against the room plan.
Set appointments and service steps for an approximate clinic session. Vary staff, equipment or appointment intervals and compare waiting and finish times.
- Change appointment intervals
- Compare staff and equipment availability
- Inspect patient waiting and finish times
Results from worked examples
- Separating reception and payment shortened modelled walking but increased average patient waiting by 20.37 seconds; 20 paired runs did not establish a difference in total visit time.
- With two doctors, booking half the patients makes the visit time of patients without a fever 4.8 minutes shorter (95% interval 2.4 to 7.3 minutes), and booking all of them 11.8 minutes shorter (7.6 to 16.1 minutes): 14.0 minutes, with 0.0 minutes in the waiting room for a consulting room.
- With 9 patients in the 18:00–19:00 hour and one therapist, 4.7 of the 25.6 patients go home untreated, and from coming in to leaving takes 43.3 minutes.

What fire safety does a clinic need?
This is a single-storey orthopaedic clinic of 22 × 14 m, with 10 staff at the busiest time. Measure its total floor area to the walls' centre lines, and check whether it needs extinguishers, an automatic fire alarm system, exit signs and a fire prevention manager.

Clinic fire checks (6)
What fire safety does a clinic need?
The internal medicine clinic's occupant capacity is 8 staff + 27 (81.19 m² of waiting areas ÷ 3 m²) = 35.
How is occupant capacity counted under Japan's fire code?
Of ten facilities an AI counted, a banquet hall for 200 holds 2,054, an izakaya 54 and a convenience store 51.
How many extinguishers, and where?
Eleven facilities checked against Japan's extinguisher rules: a banquet hall of 1,262.06 m² needs 12.62 units, a convenience store of 272.06 m² 2.72, and an animal hospital of 210.04 m² needs none.
When is an automatic fire alarm required?
29 facilities: some uses need an alarm at any size, others from 300, 500 or 1,000 m².
Exit signs
Of 21 examples that need them on every floor, only a small café may; a convenience store 16.72 m from its farthest point cannot.
Which fire equipment does a building need?
Extinguishers, fire alarms, indoor hydrants and exit signs for 29 facilities an AI checked.
