The Effects of Lighting and Reflectivity in Healthcare Settings

Content Summary

It has been proven that exposure to sufficient
levels of lighting in healthcare facilities has a
strong positive impact on all aspects of the patient
experience—aiding in wayfinding, improving
moods and promoting comfort, wellness and
healing. But lighting has its benefits for healthcare
staff as well. It has been found to increase
satisfaction levels in the work environment,
improve staff moods and decrease the potential
for medical errors. When we look at the different
ways lighting affects both patients and staff, we
begin to see the importance of incorporating
flooring with high light reflectance values into the
various spaces to help harvest natural sunlight and
increase illumination.
