Departments sharing rooms?

[Zevras]

Is there any way to get 2 departments to share, say, a common room or cleaning closet?

every hospital seems to be filled with common rooms and the worst of it all are the wards.... HOW MANY WARDS ONE CAN HAVE IN A FREAKING HOSPITAL... ICU, HOSPITALIZATION, surgery wards, DUU, DSD, DSDDSDSADSd wards.... come on... and every freaking ward needs an army of nurses and doctors day and night just to be working.

you can build 6 x 10 doctors and nurse on call rooms than split the area in half and use them for 2 zones right now

isn't that the same thing but without a wall in between? I believe call rooms etc should function universally

I'm not too bothered by the separate waiting rooms tbh. If you go to a large hospital, many of the departments will have their own waiting rooms (and even reception areas, I'm thinking specifically of the maternity ward, but there are others too). Plus, having the waiting room near the department can reduce the travel time for the patients. In a large hospital, patients would have to travel all the way back to the main entrance while they wait for a test result, and the next test might have been right next to the previous room. This becomes important when you have multi-level hospitals.

As for making the waiting rooms, if you click on "waiting room" in the build menu, you can place a zone for that department. The game also seems to know which department to assign a waiting room if you use the "non-specific" tab in the prefab menu.

I had a General Surgery Operating room and an Orthopaedic one ... had a night surgery team in Orthopaedic and they decided to use the General Surgery operating room one night ... it is a shame you can't have two departments using the sonography and cardiology rooms and have them set up near two or more operating rooms.

Yes exactly! I wish they'd share nurses and doctors.

GUI needs to be changed. Shared room are very good idea but I don't think it works. I have employees in one department which say "Need to go for toilet --" but they have toilets across the hall built as part of different department. They don't want to use it.

Then toilets, common rooms, etc need to be shared resources.

game says it is but employees don't behave like that. And "shared rooms" like toilets are still built as a part of department.

The game says itself that there are some rooms shared. One of them is toilet. I haven't found any option how to choose room and make it shared. When you switch to department management you can see there is count of rooms. Department rooms are on the top and bellow them is section "shared rooms" (I use my language so I don't know how it is in english). Shared rooms are toilet, hall and I think cleaning room as well. My employees don't care. They don't want to go to toilet built as part of different department. I think shared room should be completely separeted from other departments not look like part of them.

Actually when janitors are done in their department, they will go to help to the other one. But sharing rooms for different departments is planned anyway, so you can expect some improvements in future updates.

Was this ever implemented? I'd like to share a waiting room, cleaning room and rest rooms between two departments.

Some rooms can be used by all departments, although doctors tend to prioritize their department, so take that into account (like, if they have a restroom of another department right next to them, and one of their department three floors down).

And janitors still clean other departments if they are finished with their own, but only if they are completely finished with their own. Don't expect them to be able to keep up with two different departments. You can always build a single, big cleaning closet and divide it between departments accordingly.

Waiting rooms are not shared. Every department needs a separate one. Again, you can always create one big waiting room and designate different spaces for different departments.

What with surgery?
I know, I can have one in Cardio, Neuro, Ortho and Trauma and I understand why, BUT, why the heck is there an completely separated department "Surgery"? Can I just use them (instead of Cardi, Neuro, etc.) for my whole hospital?

And where is the difference to have a Cardio-Room in other departments? Which one I have to build, so use it for all departments? (Like Sonography in Radiologx department. I can use it also for Orthopedics).

Can someone answer this two questions for me?
