5 Healthcare Facility Definitions (US DOE CBECS) Inpatient Facility Buildings used as diagnostic and treatment facilities for inpatient care. hospital inpatient rehabilitation Buildings used to offer multiple accommodations for short-term or long-term residents, including skilled nursing and other residential care buildings are classified as lodging buildings. Outpatient Facility Buildings used as diagnostic and treatment facilities for outpatient care. medical office clinic or other outpatient health care outpatient rehabilitation veterinarian Medical offices are included here if they use any type of diagnostic medical equipment (if they do not, they are categorized as an office building).

7 Trends and Priorities for Healthcare Facilities Todd Mason/Halkin Photography

8 Challenges for Today s Healthcare Facilities Trends threaten already low profit margins Very Competitive Market Patients Most communities have many options - Other inpatient and outpatient facilities - Retail outlets (e.g., walk-in, etc.) Emphasis on community relations - Wellness; preventative care - Farmers markets Staff Physicians, nurses, other caregivers - Working environment - Amenities (e.g., shops, wellness, etc.) Financial Well-Being Shifting reimbursement models From volume-based to value-based - Patient outcome - Patient experience (HCAHPS) From inpatient to outpatient procedures No payment for Never Ever events Decreasing payment-to-cost ratio Aging population Less private payer, more Medicaid/Medicare 10% 8% 6% Total Margin Transparency via Hospital Compare web site 4% 2% 0% Operating Margin

10 10 Most Concerning Issues for Hospital CEOs 1. Financial challenges Medicaid reimbursement Bad debt Decreasing inpatient volume Medicare reimbursement Competition from other providers (of any type) 2. Healthcare reform implementation Reduce operating costs Shift to value-based purchasing Alignment of provider and payer incentives Align with physicians more closely Develop information systems integrated with primary care physicians 3. Governmental mandates CMS audits, implementation of ICD-10, CMS regulations, state regulations, increased govt. scrutiny, etc. 4. Patient safety and quality 5. Care for the uninsured/underinsured 6. Patient satisfaction 7. Physician-hospital relations 8. Population health management 9. Technology 10. Personnel shortages Source: Becker s Hospital Review, Jan. 2015; American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) 2014 Survey (n=338) 10

28 Healthcare Design Trends Tom Powel Imaging

29 Evidence-Based Healthcare Design The process of basing decisions about the built environment on credible research to achieve the best possible outcomes. Non-Visual Benefits: Natural Light, Views of Nature, Positive Distraction, Circadian Entrainment Better View or Better Light?...patients assigned to rooms with windows looking out on a natural scene had shorter postoperative hospital stays and took fewer pain killers than patients in similar rooms with windows facing a brick building wall. (Ulrich, 1984) Patient Satisfaction There is strong evidence that design changes that make the environment more comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and informative relieve patient stress and increase satisfaction with the quality of care. (Leather, et al., 2003) Sunlight & Pain Effect of sunlight on pain medication usage of patients recovering from spinal surgery. 46% greater sunlight 22% less pain medication 21% reduction in medication cost NICU Lighting Infants exposed to day/night lighting cycles experienced deeper sleep and a greater rate of weight gain. Distraction Theory Patients diverted by a pleasant distraction have less attention to direct to their pain. Source: Cama Incorporated: The Experience of Light for Health and Wellbeing Karen Lee 29

36 Recommended Practices for Lighting Healthcare Facilities ANSI/IES RP-29: Lighting for Hospitals and Health Care Facilities Last revision published in 2006 (RP-29-06) Being overhauled by IES Health Facilities Lighting Committee Will better reflect current state of healthcare delivery Terminology and organization will mirror Facilities Guidelines Institute (FGI) Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospitals and Outpatient Facilities (2014 revision) Sidebar commentary on current areas of related research Currently in committee review Will be released for public comment in compliance with ANSI process IES The Lighting Handbook, 10 th Edition Published in 2011 supersedes RP Chapter 27 Lighting for Health Care Illuminance tables by space and application Brief design narrative by space Incorporates new design recommendations: Day/night light levels to promote more restful sleep and noise reduction Night lighting using low CCT or amber-colored light 36

37 Healthcare Facilities Upgrade Opportunities by Area Patient experience begins upon arrival at the hospital Patient rooms 2 Nursing stations 3 Surgical areas 4 Examination and treatment 5 Laboratory and pharmacy 6 Helipad 7 Signage and wayfinding 8 Healing gardens 9 Parking facility Public accommodation Food service Retail shops Meeting spaces 10 37

38 Patient Rooms Design Elements Distinct zones: patient, care-giver, family Unobstructed path to toilet area Lighting Opportunities Controls Multiple task-appropriate light levels Exam, TV, reading, sleeping Patient control over environment can reduce need for pain medication Task lighting Limit disturbance of sleeping patient Day/night light levels Noise reduction Night lighting for safe wayfinding Low CCT or amber color 2012 Jonathan Hillyer 38

39 Nursing Stations and Corridors Design Elements Focal point of care unit Private communication May have decentralized nurse stations Lighting Opportunities Controls Day/night light levels to promote quiet Task lighting Charting Medication dispensing Handwashing Wayfinding Clear identification of information areas Patient door locations Alarms Accent lighting Artwork 39

40 Surgical Areas Design Elements 3 layers of light Ambient, surgical overhead, task Comfort of surgical team Low heat, low glare Lighting Opportunities Controls Effective scene setting and remote access for improved infection control procedures Energy-efficient lighting systems Reduce emitted heat for staff comfort Reduce conducted heat for better outcomes Excellent color quality for accurate observation Long-life sources for reduced downtime 40

41 Examination and Treatment Design Elements Layers of light Ambient, exam, instruments Supports compassionate discussion Lighting Opportunities Controls Ability to change scene for stage of visit Excellent color quality for accurate observation Task lighting Examination Test preparation, injection, etc. Note-taking Equipment selection may be restricted by medical equipment 41

42 Laboratory and Pharmacy Design Elements Glare-free, shadowless lighting High visual acuity tasks High vertical illumination Lighting Opportunities Controls Occupancy sensors Motion sensors on bench task lighting may qualify for LPD exemption Task lighting Allows for lower ambient light level May be tied to occupancy sensors for increased energy savings Diffuse vertical illumination Reduce medication errors 42

43 Helipad Design Elements Heliport identification beacon Touchdown and lift-off area (TLOF) Final approach and takeoff area (FATO) Taxiways and taxi routes Windsock Obstruction lighting Floodlights Lighting Opportunities Long life sources for increased reliability FAA-approved designs Well-controlled luminaire optics 43

44 Signage and Wayfinding Design Elements Information may be conveyed in a variety of ways Text Color Artistic features Art 2010 Halkin Architectural Photography, LLC Lighting Opportunities Controls Dynamic features Energy-saving schedules Motion sensors Match corporate colors or interior design palette Accent lighting Todd Mason/Halkin Photography 44

45 Healing Gardens Design Elements Human-scale lighting Long views of nature Calm respite Lighting Opportunities Controls Dim for curfew hours Limit light trespass and sky glow Well-controlled luminaire optics Safe navigation Encourage peaceful thought York Hospital in York, ME 45

46 Parking Facilities Design Elements Transition zone Parking decks and lots Cashier Elevator lobbies Wayfinding Lighting Opportunities Controls Day/night levels Occupancy sensing Scheduling Often the patient s first & last impression Safety Security Stress-free navigation 46

47 Public Accommodation Design Elements Food service Retail shops Meeting spaces Lounges Chapels Lighting Opportunities Controls Daylight harvesting Time scheduling Welcoming, inviting design Reduce stress Offer distraction for visitors and staff Lighting design appropriate for function Merchandising in retail shops Hospitality in food service Education in meeting spaces 2012 Jonathan Hillyer 47
