Healthcare communities in the Southeastern United States, from Miami, Orlando to Atlanta, and Charlotte, are constructed with a design with need specific and responsive atmosphere. Findings show renovating traditional clinical interiors to beautiful, functional and positive spaces, not only enhances the comfort for both patients and visitors, it also improves employees attitude and productivity.
The team at SWET Construction can help you design a healthcare community with advanced technology, enabling improved quality care, and an excellent patient experience.
The Healthcare Design Magazine reveals the top design trends that are shaping todays medical communities.
Residential Warmth: Healthcare communities have realized the advantages of warm and aesthetically pleasing environments. Traditional waiting rooms are turning into cafe areas and informal lounges, a place visitors can feel comfortable and relax.
“To support the connection between patients’ comfort and their therapeutic advances, forward-looking healthcare facilities are taking steps to imbue spaces with residential warmth. Borrowing from the “home away from home” aesthetic that has served the hospitality industry well, these facilities are now reducing environmental stressors—moving away from traditional clinical designs in favor of what is more familiar to patients. The ultimate goal is to create interiors that make patients feel as comfortable as possible while still providing an efficient care model.”
Infection Control: From types of furniture to their finishes, clean lines and rounded corners are easier to disinfect, wood, silver ion, metal and certain paint inhibit the growth of microbes, creating a safer environment for both employees and patients.
“As the healthcare landscape evolves—and technology, budgets, patient demographics, and industry-specific challenges change—the effective use of furniture and design can help facilities keep pace. With the proper planning, the process of creating flexible, aesthetic, cheerful, and productive environments can be both cost-effective and well within reach.”
Maximizing Space: Design space is important in an era of reducing a facility footprint, while increasing care and satisfaction.
“As a result, the scale and flexibility of patient room furniture is a vital factor in overcoming space constraints and their resulting limitations on hospital room design. There is now a variety of new, multipurpose furniture offerings for healthcare facilities to choose from, including sleeper sofas that incorporate solid-surface side tables with built-in data and electrical access, and with underneath storage compartments for linens and pillows.”
