Facility design can impact the quality of women's healthcare

With new policies governing family planning and reproductive health, health systems have been paying attention and anticipating the potential increase in access to care

The facilities that support the delivery of women’s health services can impact the care and results, according to a blog on the Medical Construction & Design website.

"I have both personally and professionally witnessed the evolution from the traditional, multi-room delivery process to single-room, family-centered care. I have also enthusiastically seen the application of these family-centered values to all aspects of inpatient care," wrote Lisa Lipschutz, Array Architects.

With new policies governing family planning and reproductive health, health systems have been paying attention and anticipating the potential increase in access to care, according to the blog.

Engaging women as active participants in their health and offering comprehensive services presents an opportunity for healthcare providers to differentiate themselves in a competitive environment, according to Lipschutz.
