Griffin Hospital renovation followed the Planetree model, emphasizing comfort and patient-centered care, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
Renovation of the interventional radiology suite and east lobby of the Derby, Conn., healthcare facility expands on the Planetree model, which has been part of its identity since 1994.
Design elements include the use of decorative glass, a printed wall mural and a custom elliptical ceiling to help make patients’ first impressions of the IR suite less daunting, the article said.
Planetree is a non-profit organization that connects hospitals with tools and ideas for personalizing, humanizing and demystifying the health care experience for patients and families.
