We all want to get back to comprehensive healthcare services and the spaces where healing happens.
But as much as we all share that desire, we'll also share COVID-19 concerns for the foreseeable future. That risk isn't going away soon. Trusting our healthcare spaces requires foundational changes in the way we do almost everything. And changing is not easy.
Healthy medical space planning.
In a very real way, returning to healthcare facilities is like exploring uncharted territory. The reassuring spaces patients, visitors, and staff depended on pre-COVID-19, can be seen as posing potential health threats around every corner. Transforming these spaces to renew confidence is about protecting the health of both people and the organization.
Unrestricted traffic patterns, busy waiting areas, high-traffic diagnostic rooms and devices, rehab spaces, elevators, cafeterias... these are just a few of the previously-valued features that must be rethought as long as the COVID-19 threat persists.
Your facility. Your plan. Our team.
How can you find your way through this new healthcare reality and create a safe environment? It all starts with planning.
First, every layout detail of your unique facility must be closely considered. From your parking area, through every entry point, to every corner of your campus, threats and opportunities must be identified.
- Where are the infection risks?
- How can each threat be mitigated?
Takeform's planners and wayfinders are experts at evaluating spaces and understanding how the layout of the medical building and entire campus affects people's movement and behavior. Armed with plans for your facility, our experts deliver a strategy that provides protection and communicates confidence:
- Traffic flow management maximizes social distancing throughout your facility.
- Protective screens, shield, and partition placement minimizes exposure and maximizes distancing in close quarters.
- Infection control accessory placement locates PPE stations that dispense sanitizer, tissues, masks, and gloves where they are most effective.
- Signage system placement effectively locates the right message in the right location to encourage healthy behavior while instilling confidence for everyone that moves through your space.
