An optimal healthcare environment is where patients and visitors feel at ease and where employees can deliver the best possible care.
People feel at ease in a well-designed healthcare environment. Our designers make a major contribution to this. With their design they create a place where people feel welcome, safe and comfortable. A well-designed healthcare environment can even contribute to stress reduction and faster healing. How do we set up such an environment? And how do make this environment as sustainable as possible?
Interior architect Nelleke Lagerwerf has been working at Gispen for over 10 years. She specializes in healthcare environments. People's stories inspire her to give the spaces she designs a feeling that fits. Without losing their function. This interaction is crucial in all her designs. That is why she always starts the design process in consultation with her customers. How do they work now, what do they want differently and what are their needs?
In an optimal healthcare environment, the well-being of the patients and visitors is foremost. This will offer patients the best chances of a swift recovery. At the same time, this is a work environment in which for your healthcare professsionals can carry out their jobs efficiently and skillfully. In addition to creating an own identity and welcoming atmosphere, many healthcare and well-being institutions are looking for versatily and efficiency, which happen to be key guiding principles for Gispen's furnishing solutions.
The new workplace reality has had quite an impact on us and our physical learning- and work environment. How can you furnish your healthcare environment in a safe, responsible and inspiring way? And what will these changes mean for your healthcare environment in the long term?
Every healthcare organisation is unique, but there are always similarities when it comes to the activities and work processes. We encounter six recurring activities within each and every care environment: meeting, residing, treating, working individually, concentrating and consulting. But how do you furnish your healthcare environment to optimally support these activities? We are happy to offer you some insight into the possibilities. Be inspired by the different solutions per activity and explore the various healthcare environments featured on this webpage.
From a short visit to the outpatient clinic to day treatment or a longer stay; you want to give your patients and their loved ones a pleasant stay. In addition, you want to offer your professionals multi-functional and flexible workspaces where they can carry out their jobs efficiently, while offering your patients a comfortable and safe environment with furniture that meets all hygienic standards. Explore the possibilities for your treatment rooms.
A consultation between a physician and their patient. A small medical procedure, or a more comprehensive treatment. In all cases, you want to offer your professionals multi-functional and flexible workspaces where they can carry out their jobs efficiently, while offering your patients a comfortable and safe environment with furniture that meets all hygienic standards. Explore the possibilities for your treatment rooms.
An atmospheric restaurant is the perfect place for visitors to seek a moment of relaxation inside any healthcare institution. A place where they can escape the hospital for a while and where they can unwind. This is also possible in a pleasant outdoor area, of course. The staff restaurant, on the other hand, is where your employees meet with their colleagues. Explore the various possibilities for your meeting places.
Ergonomic workspaces support effective and pleasant computer work. Preferably flexible in use due to height-adjustable chairs and desks, which will also make it pleasant and ergonomically responsible to work at for long periods of time. Do you need to work on something for only a minute? Use an agile workstation with different seating options. Be inspired by the various possibilities for working individually.
Do certain tasks require extra focus and concentration? In that case, it would be convenient if your employees can use a more secluded workspace. There are even special booths for even more visual and acoustic quietness. Explore the possibilities for concentrating within your care environment.
From holding a meeting with only a few people to transferring information to a large group; offer your employees spaces for different types of consultations or presentations. In addition to a traditional conference setup where everyone is seated, you can also experiment with standing meetings. Even better: alternate between the two. Be inspired by the various possibilities for consulting areas.
