By focusing on color, space, and shape, contemporary interiors are sleek and fresh. The wall is painted Satin White for a clean and unifying look. Rubber flooring was used for reasons: has good resistance to chemicals, excellent dimensional stability in all temperatures, has a self-healing capacity, has footfall sound absorption with special acoustic properties, & fire-retardant. As for the acoustic privacy of the exam rooms and consulting offices, fiber glass insulation, dropped ceiling and carpets was used.
Health wise, the paints are of course lead free, environmentally friendly and emits less pollutants into the air. Pin lights were used at the lobby and hallway, it is the practical way of using light is to use a fixtures that are less maintain and doesn't occupy huge spaces and recessed fluorescent were used at the exam room, workroom, playroom for the direct lighting especially in the working area. The ceilings were used is the gypsum board and hardiflex for the hallway and dropped ceiling for the offices and rooms.

    1). Additionally, the walk-in appointment system may increase variability in arrival patterns of patients, variability in type and level of services needed, variability in service rates, and variability in capacity. As a result, rendering of services have suffered, as have patient satisfaction due to increased wait times. Variability can be reduced by allowing “walk-in appointments” on low volume days and at low census times (e.g. 4pm -6p M-F and Saturday mornings or between 12n-1p or after 4p Wed – Fri, see Figs. 1 and…

The walls in the office are painted green with a decorative tan border that runs along the bottom edges and doorframes of the walls. In the room, a piece of the wall has been removed to provide an example of the building’s layout that shows a brick interior that is covered by wood and plaster covering.

Hospitals are what people find security and safety from all illness and diseases they have come across, but with the change of the economy and budget cuts, the first thing to cut is patient care and service. When people think of hospitals they think of long lines, waiting for hours for a simple procedure or question, medications that aren’t helpful and no care or relationship with the doctor. Patients get less time with physicians and more time with physician assistants and nurses. Many hospitals and clinics have made it known at the first meeting that after the initial appointment, the remainder of appointments will be either with the nurse practitioner or physician assistant.
