The construction and design of medical communities directly impacts the overall success, quality care, function, efficiency, and earning trust with patients and their family.
Well designed medical communities showcase several characteristics than enhance the experience of visitors.
Safety
Security is more important than ever, especially in the healthcare community. Both patients and staff should always feel welcome and safe.
When it comes to security, lighting is a valuable design element. Not only are there a number of energy efficient solutions to choose from, it can significantly add to the proficiency of day to day operations.
Illuminating entryways, hallways, parking lots, and general exterior, will make guests feel safe, comfortable, and allow for easy navigation.
Utilizing resources that are easy to maintain and clean, promotes a sanitary environment, as well as the patients’ overall well being.
Sustainability
Forward thinking and strategic planning go far beyond choosing materials such as composite wood panels to create a healthy building. Incorporating smart building systems and building orientation are worthwhile investments.

“In no other type of facility has design been shown, through systematic research, to have such a significant effect on outcomes considered essential to the long-term survival and performance of the organization. For that reason, many in the healthcare industry have turned to evidence-based planning and design as a means of making more informed decisions about hospital facility designs that can help attract and retain nursing staff, improve patient safety, and generate high levels of patient satisfaction and confidence in their quality of care”, according to recent research by the Department of Design and Environment Analysis, Cornell University, ‘Hospital facilities and the role of evidence-based design‘.
