In 2022, many healthcare professionals will consider relocating their offices. Healthcare facilities, like other offices, should be welcoming to visitors and staff and effective at facilitating equipment, staff, and patients. Many medical practices may wish to invest in remodelling their current buildings or finding new medical office space for rent to accommodate the new healthcare environment as COVID-19 is transforming the healthcare business.
We’ve highlighted a few medical office design trends to take into account.
Medical Office Real Estate Trends 2022
1. More Physical And Virtual Experiences Are Desired By Patients
If there is one thing we can take away from 2020, it is that healthcare must be delivered physically and virtually. The COVID-19 initiative has influenced the drive for more telehealth consultations and increased the focus on technology for better patient experiences. Medical office buildings must improve the patient experience, offer all necessary services and equipment, and designate a location where healthcare professionals may remotely assist patients.
2. More Entertainment Should Be Included
Everyone despises standing in line, and patients frequently experience anxiety while they wait to be called back into the doctor’s office. Many medical offices include amusement in their practices to reduce patients’ aggravation while they wait.
3. Dental Office Open Floor Plans
More open floor plans are one trend seen in the dental sector. More open, roomy treatment facilities are replacing closed-off, private booths. These adjustments widen the workspace and make it lighter and less cramped. Dental offices have had great success with this, and we anticipate that other medical sectors will follow.
4. Concierge Healthcare Services Should Be Prioritized
Practices offering more concierge healthcare are another trend we observe in the medical sector. These healthcare services include access after hours, more spacious and opulent waiting areas, and insurance support. The offices of practices that switch to this model will need to be modified. This can include improving patient waiting areas, redesigning rooms, designing quiet rooms, and updating technology.
