In the US I don't really shop at a lot of these big name department/supermarket stores but I appreciate the deprioritization of superfluous building fashion.

But from what I understand, if you compare our hospitals to those abroad, the values are flipped on their head. We have granite marble waterfront facilities with grand fountains in the lobby and the patients and health care staff are treated like ass, we have poor outcomes that bankrupt us. But at least the place we shouldn't want to be in looks sharp.

Hmm. I wonder if our hospital architecture affects medical staff’s attitude toward patients. Perhaps hospitals should be more down to earth, to elevate the patients, like the Temple of the Human Spirit

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I don't think the medical staff is the issue, from what I can tell it's leadership, organizational and financial priorities that are setting health care workers up for failure.

I didn’t say anything about staff. The comment was about architecture

I wonder if our hospital architecture affects medical staffs attitude towards patients.

The other commenter replied that in their opinion leadership, organizational, and financial priorities are setting health care workers up for failure. Implying those areas might be more impactful re: medical staffs attitude than the architecture of the hospital.

True, I did mention the staff. But the variable in question that I was wondering about is whether the architecture affects the staff in that way. In this case the staff are just passively refracting the pattern from the architecture.

It’s a far out theory. It’s far more likely that the administrative culture has a much bigger effect.

My question was really: could the attitude toward patients be altered merely by changing the hospital’s building architecture, in a way to put more emphasis on the person?

[-] norbert@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

All things being equal it seems like the environment/design of the hospital should have a measurable impact on at least some percentage of patients.

I don't have any expertise but taken to an extreme, patients in stark, depressing settings must have worse recovery rates than ones in aesthetically pleasing, happy ones right?
