Narrative

FAMILY-CENTERED CARE
The patient room should provide a meaningful experience for everyone involved—
patients, families, physicians and nurses (Nagappan & Chandler, 2013).

  • The goal is to combine social and physical space to create an experience that is
    meaningful to people (Ruga, 2008).
  • The patient room should be designed to extend the daily life of the patient,
    with a full range of communication tools (Nagappan & Chandler, 2013).
