Healthcare Design: Care-Centred Workplaces

Providing quality care is the primary objective of any healthcare facility. Quality of care issues in hospitals have been linked to many aspects of design: from poor room design, a lack of ergonomics, noise levels that are too high, or long distances from nursing units to patient rooms1. A well-designed healthcare workplace and environment can result in considerable improvements in clinical outcomes, economic performance, productivity as well as patient and staff satisfaction.

Designing a care-centred workplace - Optimised workflows in a healing environment

Creating a healing environment by optimising facility design can influence patient healing rates, decrease the length of hospital stays and impact patient satisfaction. Improving the work environment for healthcare staff may also improve the quality and safety of patient care.
