Today's patients want a waiting room that is inviting, makes them feel valued and makes the waiting process a little less miserable, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
Tips to creating welcoming waiting rooms include:
• Aim for a coffee-shop-type feel that offers a variety of options to accommodate each different demand, whether it be a cozy lounge, a work station or a play area
• Include a variety of furniture styles, colors and textures to add depth to the space while making it homey
• Choose artwork to serve as a focal point
• Provide some tabletop lamps or a fireplace to improve the ambiance
• Be sure there are ample electrical outlets placed in convenient locations
