When was the last time you took a closer look at your facility? Have you ever spent a few minutes just sitting in your waiting room looking around? What was the impression that you got? If it wasn’t as positive as you’d hoped, it may be time to do a few upgrades. After all, if your patients are uncomfortable, that may follow them to treatment. What’s more, though, is that if your patients aren’t happy, your staff may not be either. Unfortunately, choosing medical office furniture for your facility isn’t quite as easy as choosing furniture for your home. How can you get exactly what you need? These tips can help.

  • Think Accessibility: More important than almost any other concern as you work through the medical office furniture selection process is how accessible the physical layout of your space is for patients and staff alike. You’ll want to build in the ideal organization and flow to your space, ensuring that there’s plenty of storage and expansion may be possible at a later date. Keep in mind that the more accessible your office is, the more likely your space might be to last well into the next decade.
  • Think Comfort: Patients and staff members alike crave a certain level of comfort. You want your patients to feel like they’re in a safe space, free of the cares from the outside world. You want your staff members to feel like they’re in an organized, productive space that helps them work. All of the medical office furniture you choose in should foster both of those needs. Try to choose pieces that are not only comfortable now, but will be well into the next few years. You should also choose fresh, crisp colors that creates an image of cleanliness without feeling too sterile.
  • Flexible Functionality: Keep in mind that no matter what furniture you actually end up with, you want to ensure that you have a functional environment that can change and grow with your business over time. Go for something that has a timeless style and fabrics that are as durable as they are beautiful. Choose products that are rated for commercial use to help accommodate individuals of all sizes.

Treating and serving patients well is the primary goal of your medical office.  In today’s changing environment, that can take many forms.  And just about any service will also require actual forms!  Keeping your records organized and accessible is made much easier with custom medical office casework.

Every office is different in its size, shape and function.  The needs for a single practitioner will be vastly different from a large practice.  Custom casework solutions are the answer to creating the perfect configuration for your office.

Medical offices have their own set of particular needs.  Germ control is one of them.  Medical casework materials must be kept sanitary for the protection of your patients and staff.  Choose materials like steel for your examination rooms and labs so that they can be sanitized and sterilized as needed.  Anti-microbial laminates and ceramic surfaces are also excellent alternatives.

Another feature you may want to investigate is self-closing drawers.  Every touch on a knob or drawer pull is another opportunity to spread germs.  Self–closing drawers cut those opportunities in half.  This custom feature is one that many medical offices cannot do without once they discover the convenience and ease.

Flexibility is something else your medical office will need.  Your office may not always stay the same size it is now and your needs could change radically over time.  Choosing components rather that traditionally-installed millwork will give you the ability to change the configuration or add to it as your needs change.

As you make your choice for custom casework, don’t forget about the seating.  Whether you need specialized examination chairs or basic benches and waiting room chairs, make sure the seating complements the casework.

Keep your office looking up to date and operating efficiently with customer medical casework.  Your staff and patients will appreciate the organization, convenience and cleanliness that good quality casework brings.
