IMPROVING PATIENT EXPERIENCE THROUGH LAYOUT &

DESIGN

Hospital stays are often far from ideal, causing stress and delays in care. Designers and architects aim to enhance hospital rooms to meet patients' changing needs and expectations for peace and healing.

Healthcare Facilities Today interviewed Linaea Floden, Ryan's' director of architecture - southeast, on adapting hospitals for new functions while ensuring patient comfort.

How does the layout and spatial design of a healthcare facility contribute to the overall patient experience?

"Same-handed" patient rooms streamline equipment access, boosting care speed and safety while reducing staff burnout. Strategically placing resource and nursing stations along the patient care circuit improves quality of care and staff well-being. Biophilic design, like nature views and natural light, benefits patient and provider healing and satisfaction.

What design elements can help reduce stress and anxiety for patients and their families while in the healthcare facility?

What considerations are made in terms of color schemes and lighting to create a calming and healing atmosphere?

How do you balance the need for infection control and cleanliness with creating a warm and inviting atmosphere?

Design for healing encompasses various elements, including color palettes, nature views, noise reduction, sound enhancement, and adaptable lighting. These factors collectively reduce stress and anxiety in healthcare settings. Additionally, biophilic features like faux skylights, live plants, and healing gardens have evidenced physiological benefits.

Consider kelvin output for healing environments; high kelvin (6,500K) disrupts sleep patterns, while lower kelvin (3,000K) is better for evening lighting. For room finishes and textiles, choose stress-reducing colors like soft blues, grays, and pastels, avoiding harsh colors like red to promote calmness and reduce anxiety.

To support infection control, use durable, easy-to-maintain materials. Porous surfaces can harbor bacteria, so choose seamless, non-porous options that withstand frequent cleaning. Wood-look elements can maintain cleanliness while offering a natural aesthetic.

IN PRACTICE

Interior design plays a critical role in creating successful healthcare environments. With highly specialized expertise, healthcare interior designers understand the complexities of inpatient, outpatient and residential care settings as it relates to building layout, staff and patient flow, safety, materiality, furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E), acoustics, and lighting. Effective interior design can lead to improved patient outcomes by providing opportunities for connection, supporting communities that are most vulnerable, inspiring wellness and optimism, and reinforcing an organization’s brand and mission.

At the Jewel & Jim Plumb Heart Center at Mercy (IA), the interior design incorporates a dementia-

friendly aesthetic with memorable landmarks and clear wayfinding that promote patient autonomy and materials selected to address acoustical considerations for the center’s older adult population.

At Children's Minnesota Limited Stay Unit (MN) the interior design focused on a bright and sophisticated aesthetic, paired with whimsical touches of Minnesota habitat-themed graphics to meet the wide range of medical and emotional needs of its young patients.

At M Health Fairview Clinic at Highland Bridge ( MN ) the interior design focused on collaboration spaces between clinicians, nurses, and staff to support the flexible care model between the overlapping urgent care and outpatient clinics.

MASTERING THE MASTER PLANNING PROCESS

A good master plan provides a road map for organizational evolution and growth, connecting the dots between buildings, social settings, and surrounding environments. It allows for effective prioritization of capital investments, appropriate distribution of resources, and planning for the future. For our healthcare clients in particular, a master plan is typically a precursor to any project involving brick and mortar, which is why it is important to highlight our deep expertise in this area.

Collectively, Ryan’s healthcare design team has master planned millions of square feet, both on and off the traditional hospital campus. We are currently engaged in master planning efforts for clients in Minnesota, Illinois, and Iowa, with work recently completed in Florida and Georgia, and future efforts planned in Arizona and California. While it is true that every master plan can be scaled up or down depending on the client’s needs (and appetite for spending design dollars, which could range from $20k to $2M+), the master planning process itself can roughly be broken up into four general steps: Discover, Ideate, Assess, Execute

With this simple approach, we can help any client develop a prioritization matrix to successfully meet their objectives, and separate ‘noise’ from reality. Oftentimes times we will bring in a financial consultant who will provide an ROI projection based on operational needs and forecasted patient volumes. Ultimately, our work efforts result in a clear path forward for our clients, considering the underlying complexities of delivering quality healthcare in our communities.

CHILDREN'S MINNESOTA LIMITED STAY UNIT

The new 9000-SF Limited Stay Unit at Children’s Minnesota offers 14 comfortable rooms with a bright, fresh and sophisticated aesthetic paired with whimsical and playful touches to meet the wide range of medical and emotional needs of its young patients (from Children's smallest patients to teens) and their families. Keep an eye out for Children's Minnesota Limited Stay Unit that will be featured in December's Healthcare Design Magazine.

This new “Cardiovascular Center of Excellence” will transform the front doorstep of NorthShore –Edward-Elmhurst Health (EEH) Hospital Campus in Naperville, IL. The three-story building will be home to EEH’s cardiovascular unit, which currently resides in the adjacent EEH Heart Hospital. The multi-clinic building includes two cardiac clinics, a cardiac rehab clinic and a cardiac laboratory, and features a cardiac catheterization laboratory with one future shelled lab and nine prep/recovery rooms; a diagnostic imaging department with PET and CT machines; three stress testing spaces; cardiac rehabilitation gym; 34 clinic exam rooms; eight ultrasound rooms; and provider offices.

10 MARTIN MEDICAL OFFICE

ONE SCOTTSDALE MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING

One Scottsdale is a 102,000-SF, two-story medical office building in North Scottsdale, AZ. Without knowing the final tenants during the core/shell design, the team delivered a flexible base for the medical office building that allowed the client flexibility to accommodate any type of potential healthcare user from inpatient to outpatient. Now, with two anchor tenants on board including Exalt Health (inpatient rehabilitation) and City of Hope Outpatient (oncology diagnostics and treatment), the team has started design on the tenant suites for these clients.

M Health Fairview Clinic is a 22,000 SF clinic and is the primary tenant of the new Highland Bridge Medical Office. Offering a flexible care model, the clinic shares overlapping space to offer both the services of an outpatient clinic and urgent care clinic. Clinician and nurse collaboration was key to support this model and shared spaces, including offices and conference rooms that are sprinkled throughout the clinic.
