A Breath of Fresh Air for Health Care – Opinionator Blog – NYTimes.com – Nice article about Kaiser Permanente’s work to create the Total Health Environment. I have seen this up close in several facilities I have been to and I think it shows a great commitment to managing the environment where health care is provided. When an organization doesn’t pay attention to the environment within its walls, how can it pay attention to the one outside of its walls?

I also would like to note that in these spaces, Kaiser Permanente purchases and displays art from local artists in the communities that it serves. Here’s a piece from the Colorado Springs Medical Office:

Kaiser Permanente Colorado Springs

This week’s photograph is of one Kaiser Permanente’s newest medical offices, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In addition to this photo, I’m posting two panormic views, of the Briargate Senior Center (above) with Memorial Hospital Across the street, and one of the scenic viewpoint from I-25. There are some views of the interior of the new facility below.

If you’ve been to the Sidney Garfield Center for Healthcare Innovation, you’ll recognize that the work done there in the health care environment is now real for patients, nurses, and doctors.

This medical office, as you might expect, does not have any space for paper charts or x-ray films – medical record and imaging information is captured digitally, allowing for more space for patient care.
