Generally, a waiting room can present a nerve-racking experience. People wait in there for different reasons. Some are stressed out about the news that they will hear, others have an overall fear of checkups, and the list goes on. Luckily, there are many ways you can spruce up your waiting room to help patients feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home.
- Offer refreshments and snacks – Especially for busy hospitals, waiting around for minutes to hours can be long and annoying. By offering small snacks, like chocolates or some bags of chips, you can help satisfy cravings and hunger. Providing refreshments like water from a water cooler can also keep patients hydrated.
- Play relaxing music to calm down anxious patients. Some medical facilities opt for tranquil yoga music, while others opt for pumped up dance music. Whichever way you decide, having a background noise will be comforting for your patients.
- Offer a screen where patients can watch television shows and movies. This will help to keep patients entertained as they wait to be attended. They will feel as though time is passing by quickly. That will be good for those that have to wait hours for their appointment.
- Offer up-to-date magazines or books to read for your “bookworm” patients.
- Purchase comfortable furniture for patients to wait in. Waiting in hard and uncomfortable waiting room seats is unpleasant. Therefore, providing your healthcare waiting room with comfortable chairs will end up with happy patients.
