The physical aspects of a health facility can reflect its core values, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
In the “Designing hospital public spaces” in the November issue of the magazine, Steve Cohen, corporate vice president of sales and marketing at CFGroup said, “for healthcare facilities in general today, the expectations are different than they once were.”
Healthcare consumers are more discerning and public spaces can help healthcare organizations to articulate their core values.
Although core values will differ from system to system, a welcoming environment that makes patients and guests feel comfortable should always be a guiding design principle, the article said.
