Prefabricated headwalls in patient spaces can adjust with the changing needs and trends in healthcare, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
It's important for hospital facility managers to make patient spaces operational and functional, but if a room can also quickly shift with the trends, it is even better, the article said.
With prefabricated headwalls, components such as panels, equipment management channels and tracks, art pieces and cabinets can all be removed, switched and modified.
The headwall can be a valuable piece of medical technology that acts as the control panel and central hub of the room. It can facilitate access to the patient’s head and neck, make the workflow more purposeful and provide a place for everything needed for care.
