FRAME’S TAKE:
The transformation of the Radboudumc campus has been comprehensive and centred around making care more human-centric. The ethos is well-represented by the institution, evident through the Amalia Children’s Hospital, which provides children and their families with a home-like environment in the hospital context, and the High-Level Isolation Unit, designed to be highly functioning in treating infectious diseases but focused on the wellbeing of its patients.
The design of the campus’ main building further embodies this, promoting holistic, human-centric and sustainable care for patients. Focusing on workflows for staff not only helps to improve the efficiency of the care process but also improves the patient experience. Hospitals are seldom relaxing environments – quite usually the contrary – but Radboudumc uses biophilic design principles to promote usually absent respite. It reflects a larger trend of humanized healthcare where medical institutions are utilizing space as a tool for healing and expressing empathy.
