Most facilities have historically had a children’s component or even a “children’s hospital within a hospital.” In the last 20 years, we have seen an increase in free-standing hospitals that are dedicated to children’s services. SSR has had the opportunity to work with many of the premier children’s hospitals in the country. We understand that pediatric care is about the entire family. As we have worked in these facilities we have seen an evolution of patient care models for children’s services. One example is the evolution of the traditional open bay neonatal intensive care units (NICU) to the introduction of family focused care leading to NICUs with dedicated spaces or private rooms with family zones that allow family members to be involved in the healing process. Our exposure to the latest trends in healthcare and children’s services, in particular, enables us to bring national experience to our clients that address today’s current issues. Much research continues to be done regarding the impact of the environmental conditions on infant development and pediatric care. SSR is committed to working with our clients to appropriately apply this research to our designs so our clients can provide their patients the best care possible.
