With international healthcare travel on the rise, successful programs have developed special staff and facilities to ease the way for global patients, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.
As part of its Global Patient Services program, Houston Methodist Hospital recently opened a new facility to be a “home away from home” for international patients.
The design team created a comfortable, safe environment that was created to help relieve the stress of traveling from another country for healthcare.
In respect for cultural differences, adjacent to the lobby there is also a separate sub-waiting room offering greater privacy for women patients and female family members, the article said.
