Health Care Architects and Interior Designers are transforming bland institutional settings into consumer-friendly facilities. Consumer-centered designs anticipate the Patient’s needs and expectations from the parking lot to the critical care unit.
This thinking challenges the conventional wisdom of Hospital design with a new approach that actually contributes to improved Patient Care and clinical outcomes as well as champions a more humane environment for the Patient’s family to participate in their loved one’s healing process. Patients heal more quickly, use fewer pain medications and require shorter Hospital stays.
At the same time, more humane environments create a better place to work and provide care - especially for the nursing staff. Five examples of Consumer-Friendly Design: Acuity-Adaptable Patient Rooms; Family Accommodations; Staff Efficiency; Digital Communication and “Green Design” combine good business with Patient Care and Caregiver efficiency.
Lantz-Boggio is currently providing on-going planning and design services to several regional health care providers, including: University of Colorado Hospital; Denver Health and Hospital Authority; St. Anthony Central Hospital and Aspen Valley Hospital.
We subscribe to the principals of evidenced based design and incorporate natural light, views of nature, patient socialization and family interaction into our practice.
