Mood Lighting at the Hospital?
Using Lighting Design to Enhance Patient Comfort

Often, patients, caregivers and visitors are all too aware of the lighting in medical facilities – especially bad lighting. Lighting affects mood in big ways – and when you’re in a place 24/7 or for 12-hour shifts, the effects on your psyche can be huge.

The lighting in medical facilities is a key part of patient and staff comfort, not to mention how it contributes to your environment of care. Just as quality lighting enhances patient comfort and staff productivity, inferior lighting reduces comfort and productivity.

How can you tell the difference? How can you tell when you’ve got it right, and is it possible to calculate the return on investment?

If you are ready to see how something as simple as the right lighting can reap big benefits for your healthcare facility environment, sign up to hear lighting expert and electrical engineer Jack Schneider present a riveting – even illuminating – accredited training session on using lighting design specifically to enhance patient and staff comfort.

First, explore the key elements of quality lighting design. Then, learn how to apply these principles to your own healthcare facility, combining newer technologies with proven methods of lighting design to achieve the ultimate results.

Whether you’re retrofitting for energy efficiency or putting in new lights with new construction or a major remodeling project, what are the strategies you can use to get the maximum benefit from your lighting? And what are the actual physical and emotional effects of the lighting on the people living, working and healing under those lights?

You have the opportunity to aid patients in their recovery and to increase employee satisfaction and efficiency – literally with the flick of a switch. Sign up today to find out more about creating patient comfort and satisfaction by harnessing the power of light.
