Engaging staff spaces are essential to avoid burnout and fatigue.
• Staff Rooms – include daylight that allows for a
relaxing environment to recharge, take a break,
or have a meal
• Respite Space – faculty and staff space with
soft lounge furniture, a nice view of the outdoors,
and privacy
• Outdoor Space – access to an area for relaxation
and enjoying the outdoors
Caregiver Staff Space
Workspaces for caregivers need to allow for flexibility and well-being. They support teams to engage with one another easily and efficiently.
• Team Hub – workspace for teams
• Team Huddle – high-performing collaboration areas
for quick all-hands meetings and shift changes
• Satellite – workstations near patient care for
caregiver to chart
Caregiver Workspace
Caregiver spaces are the spaces where nurses and providers go to do their best work. These spaces offer a place for efficient patient care and caregiver respite. These include nurses' stations, team spaces, exam rooms, lounge areas, break rooms, and outdoor spaces.
Empower Caregiver
Haworth Health has a broad focus that supports health systems beyond the clinical spaces where people heal. We bring our customers the power of design for elevated human performance through a portfolio of solutions that put people at the center. We believe three key areas in a healthcare facility—caregiver, community, and patient spaces—are all essential for success.

Caregiver spaces are the spaces where nurses and providers go to do their best work. These spaces offer a place for efficient patient care and caregiver respite. This would include nurses' stations, team spaces, exam rooms, lounge, or break rooms.

Community
Point of care areas provide spaces that offer a variety of choice.
• Transition Space – area where patients and care
partners wait for their appointment
• Family Lounge – adjacent to the transition space,
offering more intimate, private spaces for families
with longer wait times
Point of Care
Public space is where people first enter a healthcare facility. This area offers a variety of seating options and wayfinding to destinations.
• Hospitality – lobby and reception areas with a
concierge experience and where families can
gather in sectioned spaces
• Outdoor – adjacent to the lobby, offering choice
in spaces for patients and care partners
Public space
Community spaces are areas in a healthcare facility that patients, family, and friends use while they wait for care or for their loved one. These spaces offer many amenities such as areas to relax, have privacy, catch up on work, or grab a bite to eat. These spaces include lobbies, outdoor spaces, and cafés.
Fostering Community
Patient
Treatments such as infusions require specific spaces for patients.
Treatment Space
Outpatient spaces may include an exam room that involves self-rooming.
• Exam Room – an assigned room for the patient
to wait instead of the waiting area
Outpatient
The patient's journey could be drastically different today versus just six months ago. With technology and social distance awareness, patient spaces are changing to accommodate.
Engage Patient
The inpatient room is where the patient recovers after treatment. It may be adaptable between ICU and standard patient rooms.

TRENDS
When designing for exam rooms – create a clearly identified patient pathway for self-rooming. Exam rooms will have dual entries so providers can enter from the “back of house” hallway.

A silver lining to the pandemic has been the unprecedented speed of innovation and the implementation of new best practices. Solutions that once took years are now developed on timelines of weeks or days. Fast tracking is made possible by global collaboration across disciplines and open-source design.

Well-Being
Telemed gained wider acceptance and use during stay-at-home orders and will remain a vital tool in patient care.
On-site visits will still take place for clinical needs but technologies like facial recognition, mobile check-ins, in-room virtual assistants, and robotics will transform many activities from high-touch to contactless.
Wearables and ambient devices will help monitor patient health outside medical facilities.

When designing for exam rooms, create a clearly identified patient pathway for self-rooming. Exam rooms will have dual entries so providers can enter from the care team space.
Provide both enclosed, private spaces for telemed appointments as well as huddle rooms that are integrated with technology to support quick connections with patients, their families, and other caregivers or providers that are consulting.

The future of health systems will be grounded in well-being and prevention. Leaders will set the example with healthy spaces, healthy eating, and community events.
Events will move off the healthcare campus to be integrated where people live and work, promoting community-wide health and wellness.

Designers can replicate their indoor spaces outside so that they offer a combination of settings such as café tables, seating, and lounge elements.
Offering outdoor spaces to patients, guests, and caregivers promotes healing and respite.
To reduce burnout and disengagement, employers are addressing caregivers’ physical and mental well-being.
Workplace design that adapts to changing workflows empowers caregivers to make choices in work modes, postures, and adjustments within the environment.
Workplace design will also recognize that caregiver respite requires more than a breakroom. A choice in downtime activities and environments will allow a more personalized approach for caregiver rejuvenation.

Care team spaces need to provide an efficient way to work as well as changes in posture with height-adjustable tables and flexibility in modular furniture. These stations also need to be near all the surrounding areas that this team monitors.
Offering outdoor spaces to caregivers provides them with a way to recharge and literally get a breath of fresh air during their long shifts.
When designing for caregivers' respite space, access to light should be taken into consideration. Providing the ability to darken or lighten a room is critical.
