Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Cape Cod prepares for increase in demand for outpatient services


The renovation of Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital Cape Cod, Sandwich, Mass., was undertaken to prepare for an increase in demand for outpatient services and an aging population, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.

The 76,900-square-foot, 60-bed facility anticipates getting 21,000 more outpatient visits per year. 

The reception area was redesigned and the lobby and waiting areas were expanded to enhance accessibility and improve workflow. 

The exam/treatment rooms were outfitted with grab bars to make transitions to the exam table easier for patients.
