Report Available on “7 Qualities of Excellent Pediatric Waiting Rooms”

June 8, 2011 - PRLog -- KidSpace Interiors, specialists in design of children’s spaces, is offering a free report for pediatric specialty practices on the “7 Qualities of Excellent Pediatric Waiting Rooms: Does Yours Measure Up?” The report describes qualities most enjoyed by pint-sized patients (and their parents) and includes ways to incorporate into any pediatric waiting room.

Jeanette Simpson, a licensed interior designer with healthcare design expertise is also a mother of six and has 25+ years experience visiting pediatric waiting rooms. “Waiting is inevitable in a doctor’s office but pleasant surroundings make the wait less tedious, especially when kids are distracted,” says Simpson.

Reducing wait time is important but inferior waiting rooms have long topped the list of parents’ complaints. Meghan, mother of a 1-yr old son remarked, “If I could change anything it would be to have a separate little waiting room for sick kids. They keep them separate but you walk by the sick ones to see the doctor.”

Additionally, according to research by Alyssa Robling in "The Effects of Waiting Room Appearance on Patient Satisfaction", the physical attributes of the waiting area influences the patient’s opinion of the physician and should not be ignored.

The report by KidSpace Interiors explains why thoughtfully designed pediatric waiting rooms are worth the investment. The report may be accessed at http://www.kidspaceinteriors.com/KidSpace/Pediatric-Waiti....
