Philips has extensive experience in the de-

sign of patient-friendly medical equipment.

It has an even longer history in the field of

lighting that is, after all, where the Philips

story first began back in 1891.

Understanding the high-stakes, high-stress

reality of healthcare delivery, we can workwith you to create welcoming, efficient

facilities that are designed around the needs

of patients, healthcare practitioners and

management, and visitors.

By combining state-of-the-art technology

with a singularly human approach, we help

to bring about a meaningful and innovative

transformation of the hospital experience.

And create a world so inviting that your

hospital becomes the premier choice forpatients and healthcare professionals alike.

Our vision focuses on four areas:

_ physical and emotional comfort for patients

_ staff well-being and motivation

_ visitor hospitality

_ the business challenges facing

hospital management.

The following pages highlight just a few ofour ideas, which we would like to share

with you.

Transforming the hospital experience with lighting

3


4/16

Lighting can change room ambiences to make

them suitable for different purposes whether it

be bright functional light for an examination envi-

ronment or a warm, pleasant lighting atmosphere

in which the patient can enjoy a relaxing chat with

visitors.

Improving the patient experience

The new patient

Patients are changing and with them the

character of hospitals is changing too.

Tomorrows patients will be more individual-

istic, self-responsible and better informed

than ever before.

Many people already obtain information about

the hospital before their stay and choose the

location that suits their individual needs and

specic circumstances best. As people assume

greater responsibility for their own heal th, so

they are demanding higher medical standards

and are increasingly looking for emotional

qualities in the healthcare environment.

Ambient Experience Design

At Philips, we have put a lot of thought into

ways of making hospitals less intimidating.

One example, which also incorporates our

expertise from fields outside lighting, is

Ambient Experience Design. It integrates

architecture, lighting and media to create

spaces that the patient can personalise by

choosing a visual theme for projection, e.g.

waves, mountains or a comic str ip. The cho-

sen theme can then be combined with

sound and pleasant lighting atmospheres,

wrapping the patient in a relaxing ambience.

As this puts patients at ease, it can help

speed up procedures.

Personalisation and comfort

People who have to stay in hospital often

feel anxious about what is going to happen.

Being away from home and in unfamiliar

clinical surroundings doesnt make things

any easier. The shift toward a patient-centric

design approach has, however, done much to

make hospital rooms more welcoming and

homely. But there are no standard solutions.

No two patients are the same, and everyone

has different wishes and expectations. If pa-

tients can express their individuality, it makes

them feel more in control of their environ-

ment, which in turn makes them feel more

at ease.

Motivated staff make the difference

The working environment and

motivation

Hospitals are high-intensity 24/7 working

environments. Staff must be able, on the one

hand, to communicate with patients, and on

the other to concentrate on demanding tasks

and make quick decisions under pressure at

any time of the day or night. In this respect,

their motivation and sense of well-being play

a significant part in how a hospital performs

and how it is perceived. The quality of the

working environment has a marked influence

on the job satisfaction and general motiva-

tion of current staff and on the hospitals at-

tractiveness to potential future employees.

Bringing daylight indoors

In hospitals there are many rooms with no

direct incidence of daylight. Addressing this

reality, Philips has developed Dynamic Light-

ing, the advanced solution designed to en-

hance the well-being, motivation and per-

formance of those working indoors by giving

them control over their lighting and creating

a stimulating lighting ambience (changes in

the level and tone of white light) that follows

the rhythm of human activi ty. This makes it

possible to create natural lighting that helps

healthcare professionals perform even more

effectively, e.g. by boosting alertness and

concentration levels when needed most.

How light influences us

Light not only shapes the way we perceive

our environment the rhythm of light and

darkness also synchronises our biological

clock. Accordingly, light has a direct impact

on our aler tness and sense of well-being.

Two of the characteristics of light that strongly

influence how we feel both physiologically

and psychologically in a given environment

are the level and cool or warm colour ap-

pearance of the light. The possibility to adapt

the environment to our personal prefer-

ences also enhances our motivation and

sense of well-being.

Hospital staff need to be able to communicate

effectively as well as to concentrate on demanding

tasks. Dynamic Lighting enables staff to adapt the

lighting to suit their own needs.

In spaces with no direct natural light, Dynamic

Lighting utilises certain dynamic characteristics of

daylight to enhance peoples sense of well-being and

make them feel connected to the outside world.

The rst impression is always a lasting one. Dynamic

and architectural lighting solutions can help to make

this impression a positive one and to make the

hospital a welcoming place.

Trend: New services

The changes in society and patient behaviour will

create new oppor tunities for hospitals. Services

for older people, prevention, medical wellness and

health tourism will open up the hospital to many

new kinds of guests.

Patients need time out from being ill somewhere

they can chat to their visitors or other patients

or just relax and read a book. These places can

be open to the public, stage exhibitions and serve

delicious snacks

Opening up to a wider public

Visitor hospitality

It is important for hospitals to gear up

for the widening of their scope and the in-

creased openness that will be brought about

by the new services and facilities. Embracing

this development will enable hospitals to at-

tract a wider public and the associated

revenue streams. It will also help them to

build up an atmosphere of confidence and

trust and show that, as well as taking the

needs of their patients seriously, they sup-

port family and friends as partners in the

healing process.

Uplifting ambience

Lighting that is integrated into the architec-

ture can create appealing, emotionally uplift-

ing atmospheres. A spacious entry hall with

bright light and colourful light accents com-

municates an impor tant message to visitors:

You are welcome.

Lighting can also help people to find their

way around large hospital buildings, for ex-

ample by creating subtle colour accents or

colour codes. And brightly lit helpdesks or

nursing stations make it easier for visually

impaired patients to find support.

New atmospheres, new services

In 30 years time the number of people over

the age of 60 will have doubled. As people

get older, they want to continue to enjoy the

same high standard of living. In healthcare,

prevention will become as impor tant as

cure, and hospitals will provide a host of

new services.

Today, many hospita ls are already offering

open, hotel-style facilities for patients who

dont need to stay on a ward for their treat-

ment or for members of the patients family

who want to be close at hand. Buildings of

this kind require a different type of atmos-

phere from the hospitals of the past.

Lighting can create a highly distinctive landmark,

helping to brand the hospital.

Lighting management systems can create appealing

atmospheres that change according to the time

of day, while simultaneously reducing energy

consumption.

Importance of branding

62 % of respondents stated that they would

choose the hospital that comes to mind first.(Source: Study Hospital Branding, Haarmann

Managing the healthcare challenge

Consumer behaviour

More and more patients are deciding them-

selves which hospital they go to. Their choice

in favour of a specific institution is based on

a variety of factors. They usually follow the

advice they are given by their own doctor.

However, since it can be difficult for a pa-

tient to evaluate the medical quality of a

hospital, the general reputation of the insti-

tution and factors like ser vice, atmosphere,

hotel-style facilities and accessibility for fam-

ily will play an increasingly important role.

Lighting expressive and efficient

Lighting helps to communicate the hospitals

healthcare mission to the outside world and

at the same time can increase its operating

efficiency. Architectura l outdoor lighting, for

example, can turn the building into a promi-

nent landmark, a living symbol of care and

hospitality.

Indoors, smart lighting management systems

can allow substantial savings on energy costs.

Philips is committed to developing highly

durable, energy-efficient lighting systems that

reduce total cost of ownership and minimise

environmental impact.

Affordable differentiation

Cost effectiveness, innovation and the ability

to adapt to new developments in the market

are among the factors that determine how

competitive a hospital is. In todays health-

care marketplace, many hospitals are looking

at ways of creating added value and differen-

tiating themselves. This can enable them to

brand themselves in a way that expresses

their commitment to patient-centric health-

care while at the same time helping to at-

tract top-class personnel. Flexible concepts

that allow the hospital to respond to future

developments can play a key role here.

Lighting for hospitals

We would like to give you an idea of what

lighting can do for a hospital if it is applied in

a planned and integrated way. However, every

solution is individual and has to be adapted

of each hospital building. If you are interested

in an integrated lighting solution, please con-

tact your local Philips representative.

Philips provides a wealth of information and

resources on different aspects of indoor and

outdoor lighting, e.g. brochures, workbooks

and websites, as well as lighting design sup-

port.
