For patients who are scheduled to undergo an exam, the anticipation of a diagnosis can be intensely stressful. Diagnostic imaging procedures involving the uptake of radiological agents can be carried out in the Ambient Experience uptake room, designed to help patients achieve a sustained sense of calm during the course of the procedure and to facilitate excellent clinical conditions and staff workflow.

Continuity of the experience carries into the examination room where patients have the opportunity to actively participate in the healing process. By providing a sense of control, their experience becomes interactive and less intimidating.

Ambient Experience in the pediatric emergency department

When you pick a scene and walk into it, whether it is a beach scene or cartoons for kids, and especially if they can bring in a disc and have their own music playing, it makes patients feel this is going to be OK and that they can make it through.”

How we enable the transformation process

Enhanced design

Through ‘enhanced design’, we evaluate the clinical environment from a holistic perspective. By defining the needs, hopes, anxieties and concerns from the various stakeholders (patients, clinicians and family members) we learn to improve their environment. We employ proven methodologies to assess the current situation, pinpoint areas we can positively influence and then offer recommendations for implementation. Insights are prioritized and translated into design drivers to create and build clinically and emotionally meaningful environments.

Experience Flow Mapping

Our unique approach of Experience Flow Mapping is a structured methodology to provide an insights-based view of the patient journey and clinical processes and to graphically demonstrate areas of concern and opportunities for improvement. We map-out all of the data points and insights gained to document the patient journey and align it with the clinical workflows, technology utilized, and sources of data to visually summarize the most impactful opportunities for improvement.

Patient-friendly themes

Ambient Experience creates patient-friendly environments by integrating architecture, design and enabling technologies. This innovative, people focused solution enables patients to select room themes with audio, allowing them to personalize the environment and surround themselves in a relaxing, calming atmosphere. The themes are an important feature of Ambient Experience that help patients to feel engaged and will provide them positive distraction and a feeling of control.
