Dynamic Lighting - Preventing Fatigue in Healthcare Facility Staff and Residents

 

Today's ever growing and aging society has placed increased demand for the expansion of existing hospitals and the construction of new facilities. With the increase in size and complexity of hospital floorplans, natural light and window size or availability are compromised.

Hospital light not only affects today's patients, but hospital visitors and medical staff as well. How can healthcare facility lighting address the needs of the healing patient with little access to the outdoors, as well as the nurse who works in a static environment with little access to the changing quantity and quality of natural light? How can electric lighting techniques enhance a well designed patient wing or rescue an old or poorly designed facility? New lighting concepts, energy-efficient, lighting fixtures, lamps and controls help healthcare facilities meet the needs of patients, visitors and staff alike.

Join us for a 90-minute audio conference as we address these issues and others.
