How does Integromed support hospitals in creating a supportive environment? The well-being of patients is crucial for their fast recovery. For this reason, modern healthcare facilities focus more and more on the creation of a healing environment, especially in ICUs and other critical areas.

The healing environment is a patient-centred approach that intends to reduce stress for the patient. This integral concept covers a broad range of aspects, such as the protection of the patients’ dignity and privacy, the minimization of risks as well as social and mental support, patient involvement and empowerment, and their emotional experience.

Integromed helps healing enviroments to apply the principles of the supportive design. The appropriate room proportions and the choice of materials, together with pleasant colours and natural images create a comfortable environment with a positive effect on the well-being on patients and also their beloved ones.

A good room design ensures good orientation, supports positive emotions and relieves anxiety. Furthermore, a pleasant atmosphere has a direct effect on the perceived quality of care and therefore can improve the hospital’s image.

Nature scenes and lightings play an important role in healing environments. As the patients are often isolated from nature, interiors with natural prints can have a calming, supportive impact on the patient and relieve stress and anxiety.

NatureLux© backlit panels make use of natural images and add the positive effect of light (circadian light technology available).

Intensive Care Units and Patient Rooms are meant to be friendly places where patients feel safe and in good hands – an environment that promotes recovery.
