Light has a major impact on human performances and human health because of its ability to enable essential chemical reactions in the human body. Light also enables us to effectively perform various visual tasks, and light also has an impact on our moods, emotions, and our perception of everything.
Since light has an impact on our body’s circadian system, light has a major impact on the outcome in healthcare facilities. When many patients are in hospitals, nursing homes, and other medical facilities, they can often find themselves depressed and sad. Light can have a major impact in hospital settings, due to its ability to:
- Reduce the length of a patient’s hospital stay
- Allow the patients to get a better sleep rhythm
- Lessening the pain in all patients
- Improving the moods of patients who have dementia
- Improving the work environment for the medical staff members who have to work at night
When your hospital lighting is improved, you will instantly see a difference in the health and well-being of all of your patients and your staff members. Improved hospital lighting should be incorporated in any healthcare setting, and not only because of how beneficial it is to patients.
LED lighting can be incorporated into your hospital at an affordable cost
