Healthcare Applications

Within health facilities are multiple waiting areas. They can be ones in which you spend little time, and others in which hours can go by without notice. Understanding the waiting space is key in designing appropriate architectural lighting packages.

Healthwerx also addresses the specialized lighting requirements of patient bathrooms.

Healthwerx provides numerous fixture and control options to ensure that patients are comfortable and that staff members can do their jobs.

Healthwerx also provides many solutions for another type of patient-centered space: the examination area. Across the healthcare field, from private practices to dental office suites to outpatient clinics to hospital surgical recovery areas, examination areas, despite vast differences in programming, all require the vibrant illumination of the diagnostic process so that a patient can have the best opportunity for a positive health outcome.

Healthwerx recognizes the nurses’ station as the heart of a unit where long hours are spent working in various capacities. Here, lighting quality affects not only the satisfaction and retention of nurses, but also, by extension, the quality of patient care.

Hospital corridors are busy areas used by nurses, doctors, technicians, patients, and visitors alike. Clarity, comfort, and convenience, therefore, are key in wayfinding, preventing falls, and providing a setting that can be a respite from the enclosed spaces in the same building.

As with corridors, the common areas — waiting rooms, lobbies, reception, check-in areas, cafeterias, snack bars, gift shops, florists, and more —require lighting that is clear, comfortable, and convenient with the added functionality of service and retail.
