Healthcare Design and Furniture Solutions

people waiting in a healthcare setting

Transformative healthcare design enhances the wellbeing of patients, care teams, and communities.

Today’s medical office and hospital furniture needs to support a human-centered healthcare experience for patients and caregivers. Technology must be meaningfully integrated, and healthcare furniture systems flexible and responsive to the needs of all.

There’s widespread awareness that the wellbeing of many healthcare workers is impaired, and strong momentum is building among their employers to make changes to healthcare spaces that can build a new culture of wellbeing within their organizations. Now COVID-19 has exacerbated and put an impossible-to-ignore spotlight on the burdens that healthcare workers routinely face. Healthcare office design is a key component in transforming the caregiver experience.

We’re committed to designing for the human factor, implementing thoughtful healthcare furniture solutions to connect people, place and technology.

Steelcase Health joined industry professionals across the country at the 2021 Healthcare Design Expo + Conference to learn about the latest research, trends and strategies to meet the design needs of hospital and clinical environments now and in the future.

The conference explored how responsibly-built environments can improve the safety, operations and clinical outcomes of healthcare facilities through a series of sessions and exhibits from a range of industry experts.

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH IS TAKING PRIORITY

  • After so many months of social distancing, stress, fear and solitude, supporting behavioral health has become a top priority in healthcare design.

CARING FOR CAREGIVERS

  • The healthcare industry is renewing its focus on setting its staff up for success. When things are designed to run smoothly and caregivers feel supported by their spaces and leadership, they create better experiences for their patients

ADAPTIVE REAL ESTATE

  • New and evolving prefabrication solutions provide creative opportunities for customization and flexibility beyond what is typically possible – and affordable – in traditional drywall construction.

DESIGNING FOR COMFORT AND CONTROL

  • Supporting patients and caretakers with comfortable and familiar spaces has long been a priority for healthcare organizations, and it shows no signs of letting up.

DESIGNING FOR INCLUSIVITY & EQUITY

  • Healthcare spaces must be designed for social wellness and equal access to care across a spectrum of demographics.

TELEHEALTH IS HERE TO STAY

  • When implemented effectively, telehealth has obvious benefits of delivering convenience and access for patients, improving the clinician experience and helping to manage healthcare costs.
