Healthcare facility design can boost the spirit of wellness by improving worker performance, productivity and patient satisfaction, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
Design strategies include improving health and well-being in the workplace and using evidence-based design furniture prospectuses.
Workplace design elements that can impact well-being as they relate to healthcare include:
• Maintaining consistent comfort and air quality
• Integrating as much nature and daylight into the design as possible to lessen stress and create a noninstitutional feel
• Using nonporous surfaces and materials without seams to prevent microbial growth or contamination
• Focusing on human ergonomics, including flexible, mobile, family-friendly furniture that is easy to maintain and can accommodate a variety of sizes
