From preparation, to procedure and post-procedure, Ambient Experience for the Interventional Suite considers each aspect of the cardiovascular imaging experience.
During complex interventions, the benefits of an Ambient Experience optimized room design are evident. They include:
- Enhanced comfort for patient and staff
- Better patient/staff interaction
- Less stressful work environment
- Increased procedural efficiency
For the patient
Positive distraction through personalized control soothes anxieties. Using a touchscreen tablet PC, patients can select from several themes and watch as the room is transformed. Diffused overhead lighting coupled with perimeter Ambient Cove Lighting produces a soft, pleasing effect. Calming sounds and accompanying projected images wrap the patient in a relaxing ambience.
During preparation, patient privacy can be improved by switching our Privacy Glass from clear to opaque, thereby separating the exam area from control room staff.
For your staff
By reducing clutter, recessing cabinetry, and improving the lighting, we’ve developed a more productive, open work environment.
- Clean, contemporary architectural design ensures plenty of space to move about
- Integrated catheter cabinets help store supplies
- A SkyLight directly overhead provides procedural lighting for a uniformly illuminated table surface and virtually no monitor reflection
With Ambient Experience, we carefully integrate the control room into the overall design to facilitate workflow. Opening up the traffic pattern, improving sight lines and organizing control stations, helps support staff to be more effective.
