While patient bathrooms are being re-evaluated with an eye on comfort and a hospitality-like environment, safety is still the key concern, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website. “The patient bathroom is one of the most vulnerable areas in a hospital from the standpoint of infection control, and slips and falls,” Ken Bowman, of Earl Swensson Associates, said in the article.
Plans for the new hospital include approximately 150 inpatient beds, an emergency department, a medical office building and an ambulatory surgery center.
