Focus: Facility Design

Pediatric behavioral health facilities balance dignity, safety

The article said the most important questions are:

• How can the design make parents feel confident they are making the right decision?

 

• What can design do to create the safest environment for effective treatment?

The quality of care and environmental design together can provide a sense of reassurance for parents.
