hospital furniture. Studies
carried out during the past few years show that there is a significant
correlation between psychologically appropriate design and the signs of
fast recovery. Völker hospital beds and furniture introduce a beneficial
ambience into hospital rooms. That way, the positive impression of a nearly
hotel-like equipment can be conveyed. As a result, "sick" rooms become
a place for recovery in which patients will really feel fine. This is
a vital condition for the recovery process and, of course, a good recommendation
for your house. Here
are some examples for the connections between "Health and Design": In
its new building, the Detroit Medical Center in Michigan made use of all
interior design possibilities to increase cancer patients' sense of well-being.
It was found that patients moved from the old building into the new one
needed 54 percent fewer painkillers after receiving wellness treatment.Four years after the opening of Children's Hospital Foundation at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, N.Y., Executive Director Bruce Komiske can attest to the strategic benefits of investing in high-quality design. The number of ambulatory and emergency care patients has risen 25 percent and the market share has increased by more than 20 percent. Dr. Alan Dilani, cofounder of the International Academy for Design and Health, said, "An awareness of the causes of good health requires design concepts that promote well-being. The quality and nature of a patient's environment should be seen as effective instruments for supporting and improving recovery." |
