As the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine (CCRM) expands its footprint it continues to focus on creating an environment that put patients at ease, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
“We’ve developed a strong set of protocols for the design of these facilities to achieve both the highest level of outcomes and highest level of patient experience,” Scott Portnoy, vice president of corporate development at CCRM, said in the article.
Design features such as intuitive wayfinding, glass doors between waiting areas and clinical areas and the use of natural materials and palettes help create a calming environment.
In the new San Francisco, for instance, the design team opted for neutral tones with small pops of color in the furniture and other materials.
