To create the perfect medical waiting rooms you will need to balance the space available with what your patients will need. You will need to make sure that your waiting room is comfortable but yet functional. Everything from the color of the walls to the decorations to the furniture will contribute to the overall feeling of the area. This is the room where new patients get the first impression of the practice. It is an area where they will enter into the office, wait to see the physician, pick up, or take a family member or friend, pay their bills, etc. Basically the idea medical waiting rooms are inviting, functional, and clean.
What it will take to make your waiting room have this feeling will depend on what type of practice you have. One example is a pediatric practice. With this type of waiting area you would need decor that suits a child and makes them feel comfortable such as pictures of animals on the wall and the color of the walls will need to give the area a cheery feeling. In the one corner of the room there could be a television mounted on the wall turned to a children's channel to entertain them while waiting their turn. There could be a small area with books to read, coloring books, blocks, etc to make their time waiting less stressful.
In most medical waiting rooms they are separated from the receptionist by a counter that has a sliding glass window. It may be a good idea to make the receptionist area a feature of the room that is easily identifiable. The receptionist area could be the first thing that the patient sees when they walk into the waiting area or it could be off to the side of the room..
The furniture also plays an important part in the design. You first need to decide just how many seats you want to have in the area and whether they will be individual chairs or a combination of single chairs and chairs that seat two people. If it is a pediatric office you should also include some smaller chairs and a small table for the children to sit at and color or play with blocks or other toys. You want the seating to be comfortable but functional. In regards to lighting using lamps or low lights is more welcoming than using bright fluorescent lights. The carpet and color of the walls should be a neutral color. You could also add some artwork, mirrors, or murals on the wall. To entertain the patients while waiting to see the physician there should be a selection of current magazines to browse through. Some medical waiting rooms also have soft music playing.
