Why Healthcare Furniture Matters
Healthcare facilities have gone a long way from building temples dedicated to healer-gods during the ancient times to our latest healthcare filled with computers, robotics, and the most advanced healthcare tools and equipment of our time. Times are changing, however. Today’s healthcare environment not only promises physical well-being but overall wellness including emotional, mental, and psychological wellness.
Service quality also dictates that you put the best service workers and medical practitioners in place, which means your healthcare environment should take into consideration not just your patient’s overall wellness but also that of your professional employees. Here’s where the interior design of your healthcare establishment comes into play.
Reception & Patient Registration. Here is where you have your first touchpoints with your patients and their families. This is the best place to establish your branding in terms of visuals and service delivery. It helps to also cater to potential needs of those who are waiting for their turn. Maybe offer a more comfortable seating with a built-in charging dock included in your modern furniture setup.
Workstations. To give comfort and ease of workflow, caregiver workstations should be equipped with furnishings that are designed and layouted in a manner that our nurses and therapists can work efficiently and effectively in being able to provide services to patients on time and with accuracy.
Laboratories. Labs require high performance and durable materials that can adapt to exposure to all sorts of chemicals overtime and these materials need to be easily cleaned. Furnishings should also be enough to adapt to the movement of our lab practitioners, with adjustable height on tables or chairs.
Administration & Physician’s Offices. Healthcare workers require a variety of closed and open setup options to provide privacy when needed at the same time invoke a sense of collaboration with patients and their physicians. Modular office furniture setups use temporary partitions and offer deconfiguration of the same when needed, depending on the healthcare organization’s needs and style.
The result of a well-planned, well-designed interior and furnishings in your healthcare facility not only results in good ergonomics but also increases in patient satisfaction.
