Healthcare delivery is ever changing

POI is making use of its broad supplier networks and supply chain effectiveness in order to select and provide quality product solutions to meet the immediate and future needs of the healthcare market. We continue to work extensively with Canada’s leading hospitals, clinics, acute care, long-term care, assisted living facilities, and healthcare environments in the development of comprehensive solutions that meet the evolving needs of healthcare workers, patients and their family support networks.

Healthcare Spaces

Exam Spaces

At the Center of the Healthcare Experience

No longer just a place for medical exams and treatments, the exam room is also a space where consulting, learning and person-to-person sharing happen.

Whether in a doctor’s office, urgent care center, surgery center, or emergency room, exam rooms are hardworking, high-functioning spaces that support the activities and relationships that create connected, satisfying and effective healthcare experiences.

Workspaces

Clinicians’ Work is Highly Varied & Demanding

In a changing healthcare industry, there is increased need for a range of spaces that are suited to the dynamic roles and relationships that clinicians switch between during a shift. Space for collaboration. Space for focus. Space for respite.

For organizations driving improvement through their operations, clinician workplaces can be a strategic asset for increased effectiveness, which in turn has a positive impact on patient care and satisfaction

Patient

Healing, Teaching, Learning

Patient rooms are intimate environments where patients, families and clinicians come together around care. At their best, they are environments that aid a patient’s recovery, improve how clinicians do jobs and welcome family members as active participants in care.

By integrating hospitality, empowerment and comfort throughout the space, well-designed patient rooms can provide better experiences and enhance a hospital’s reputation for delivering quality care.

Oncology

A Person-Centered Approach to Care

Instead of a “one-room-fits-all” approach, oncology treatment centers are now designed as an ecosystem of spaces to serve a wide range of people with different needs and preferences.

A suite of oncology treatment applications accommodates many scenarios, from private treatment areas to communal spaces that encourage patients to form friendships, personal support networks and help humanize this segment of the healthcare journey.

Waiting

The Journey is More than the Point of Care

Patients and their families are frequently left waiting. Waiting to meet with their care provider. Waiting for a diagnosis. Waiting to receive information or literature. And the places where they wait are often uncomfortable and unappealing.

Instead of simply waiting, these times can be put to more productive use as places where people can connect with others, absorb information and ready themselves for the next step in the journey.

Designing Better Healthcare Experiences

We know the space around us can have a profound impact on health outcomes — influencing the overall wellbeing of everyone involved in the complex work of care. It’s within these settings that people go through a wide range of experiences and emotions. Think about sitting in a waiting room, awaiting the outcome of a procedure for your loved one, or the anxiety of making decisions about your own healthcare – not to mention the care providers who are on an emotional journey with their patients.

A Radical Transformation is Taking Place in Healthcare

As changing dynamics add complexity to an already complex industry, the challenges that healthcare organizations face are greater than ever. Addressing high-priority issues is key to developing a strategy for sustainable success.

Today’s Healthcare Journey Needs to be an Integrated One

Healthcare organizations that embrace the fact that the fundamental nature of the industry is changing are best positioned to deliver greater value in a differentiated way.

Technology is Making Healthcare More Participatory

Healthcare leaders are advocating for greater innovation and are shifting the focus from illness to wellness and well-being. Decision-making is becoming more collaborative involving more people and making processes less directive. Much of this can be attributed to new technologies which are offering new ways to interact with information and making healthcare processes more mobile and connected.
