Green hospitals
As everyone knows, green
has become pretty dominant in the public consciousness of late. Like many organizations, hospitals are also looking at different green-friendly approaches. The radio program, Living On Earth, presents an engaging angle on Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and its creative efforts in this area. Elaborating on the details, they describe an approach informed by Evidence-Based Design. Part of this design involves patients’ rooms with sloped, floor-to-ceiling windows, and perhaps, not surprisingly, the underlying theory is that the more natural light there is, the greater the chance there is for quicker healing.
