Designers and architects are realizing the critical role lighting plays throughout a healthcare facility. A growing understanding of the effects of light on human biology, as well as the importance of light for helping to create pleasant, non-institutional environments has generated a desire for hospital lighting systems to provide biophilic design elements, as well as flexibility in spectral output and control. With a focus on both patient and staff wellness, the AEC industry and healthcare facility managers are looking for thoughtfully configured lighting that provides optimal performance, improved patient and staff experiences, and simple installation and maintenance. While this approach is more frequently being incorporated in many areas throughout healthcare facilities, the MRI suite may benefit the most.
An MRI facility is one of the most sophisticated and intimidating spaces in a healthcare environment. However, forward-thinking designers, architects and lighting manufacturers recognize the challenging issues and realize the positive impact a more holistic and biophilic design can have on patients and staff while providing safe operation among the sensitive equipment in the room.
