While hospital headwall systems are an excellent solution to a variety of problems for both staff and patients, headwalls have had a bit of a bad rap in the past. Functionality has been questioned in hospital headwall designs due to issues such as poorly placed outlets creating frustration for both staff and patients alike. Many people viewed headwalls as “ugly” or “depressing” due to outdated, un-appealing designs. Not only does this decrease workplace satisfaction, but it can create anxiety and unease for the patient. A hospital stay can be overwhelming as it is, which is why creating an appealing, therapeutic environment for the patients, guests, and staff is crucial. The design of a headwall is key to the functionality and flow of a room, so it is important to consider all factors and perspectives when choosing or designing a product.
Imagine a patient being easily able to charge their phone from the comfort of their own hospital bed. Imagine staff easily able to reconfigure outlets as needed.
This is what patients and staff deserve. This is what the forWard Headwall can do.
