Patients are changing, and with them the character of hospitals
is changing too. Rising costs of care, the role of insurers,and
more patient options for treatment—all these factors are
forcing healthcare organizations to become more competitive.
What once seemed like small differences between medical
buildings are now the reasons that patients—and medical
professionals—will favor one facility over another.
To compete in the high-stakes,high-stress reality of today’s healthcare market,
facilities must be designed around the needs of patients,visitors,healthcare
providers and administrators.
Central to this equation is lighting.When healthcare facilities invest in better
lighting,patients and staff not only see better,they feel better,too.One study
showed that lighting can do far more than just improve visibility—it can
actually accelerate the healing process, and improve caregiver performance.
