HSS1100 – Nature and Wellness Name: _____________________ Date: ______________________ Redesigning the Doctor’s Office or Hospital Imagine you have the opportunity to redesign a doctor’s office or hospital to be more patient friendly. At the same time you can change the staff’s routines. What would you do? Be ready to share your vision in class. Consider these questions: What would patients see when they walked in the door? To whom would they speak first? Would there be a receptionist area? A waiting room? If so, what would these areas look like? Can you improve on the take-a-magazine-and-wait routine? Do colours, windows, carpets, and lighting matter? Would you change the color of examination rooms, treatment rooms, or patients’ rooms? Would you change the way doctors, nurses, receptionists (or others) act? How? What changes might put patients more at ease? What changes might increase caregiver satisfaction? Would you incorporate elements of nature into the space? If so, how? ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ HSS1100 – Nature and Wellness Name: _____________________ Date: ______________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________
