Water Wall Features for Medical Facilties
Healthcare Art Consulting has partnered with BluWorld of Water to offer our healthcare clients the opportunity to incorporate water wall features into their medical facilities.
Beyond the attractive, aesthetic feature of indoor water walls, this artistic solution can have benefits for healthcare facilities and people who visit and work in the environment. Indoor water walls are proven to help air quality of healthcare facilities, create calming environments, reduce stress of those who work around water features, and are a type of artistic solution.
In the research study "The Impact of the Environment on Infections in Healthcare Facilities" by Anjali Joseph and Roger Ulrich, it is documented that decorative fountains have been used for many years as a means of a landmark, wayfinding element and positive distraction. However, there has been controversy due to the spread of nonsocomial diseases such as Legionella. However, recent research shows that there are no documented cases of hospital-acquired Legionaire's disease or other water bourne disease from the placement of a water wall or other water feature in a hospital. Read the full research report titled "The Impact of the Environment on Infections in Healthcare Facilities;" Decorative fountain research on page 11.
With over 600 water wall installations nationwide in medical facilities and corporate offices, BluWorld is experienced in offering custom water wall features. Artistic touches may be added to water walls such as tile mosaics or organization logos.
