The healthcare environment is a key factor in the success of palliative and end-of-life care, according to Health Facilities Management website.
Healing spaces that are aesthetically designed to help patients and family members cope with the situation are extremely important. So are privacy and places to talk with members of the care team.
Design features that mitigate symptoms and side effects are key. Windows are very important.
Reduced walking distances, easy wayfinding, organized clinical space and team work areas for caregivers are also critical to delivering effective palliative care.
