Herlev Hospital Critical Care Silentia PhotoPanels bed end screen 1

Critical care departments, also known as intensive care units (ICUs), provide specialized care for critically ill patients requiring constant monitoring and advanced medical interventions. Explore project examples that showcase the capabilities of the Silentia privacy screen system to significantly enhance cleanliness, patient privacy, and flexibility in critical care departments.

These critical care units manage a variety of conditions, including severe infections, respiratory failure, cardiac emergencies, and post-operative complications. Patients typically include those recovering from major surgeries, suffering from severe trauma, or experiencing life-threatening illnesses. Critical care teams employ advanced practices to support patients, improve outcomes, and save lives in acute medical situations.

Patient privacy is crucial, as it fosters trust and dignity, allowing for confidential communication and personalized care. By providing a physical barrier, hard surface screens ensure patient privacy, allowing for confidential interactions and a sense of dignity, even in shared spaces.

Maintaining cleanliness is important to preventing infections and ensuring patient safety in the critical care setting. Rigorous hygiene protocols, such as sterilization of surfaces and equipment, are essential to reduce hospital-acquired infections. The Silentia screen system is designed for easy cleaning and disinfection, thereby supporting stringent hygiene protocols and reducing the risk of hospital-acquired infections.

A flexible environment is vital in critical care, enabling swift adaptation to patients’ rapidly changing conditions. This includes adjustable bed setups, easily accessible medical supplies, and the ability to quickly convert spaces for different levels of care. The Silentia system’s modular and mobile design offers unmatched flexibility, enabling quick adjustments to accommodate varying patient needs and care scenarios. This adaptability ensures that critical care environments can swiftly respond to the dynamic demands of patient care, enhancing overall outcomes.

Together, cleanliness, privacy, and flexibility all contribute to providing a safe space and comfortable setting that optimizes patient outcomes.

Privacy solutions for physical therapy: Optimizing space with flexible privacy

Geisinger Orthopedics and Sports Medicine PT Scranton PA 2

Physical therapy is a facet of healthcare focused on helping patients alleviate pain and enhance their ability to function, move, and live. Physical therapy departments and clinics typically require large open areas for treating patients, which can be challenging environments for maintaining privacy.

The Silentia screen system provides ideal solutions that can strike a perfect balance between creating space, providing privacy for patients, and giving staff the flexibility to adjust to the changing needs of their patients.

Understanding physical therapy care

There are many types of physical therapy, each with delivery and policies tailored to address particular areas or functions of the body, or patient groups.

Common types of physical therapy include:

- Orthopedic PT for musculoskeletal issues
- Neurological PT for neurological disorders
- Sports PT for athletic injuries
- Pediatric PT for children
- Geriatric PT for the elderly
- Cardiovascular and Pulmonary PT for heart and lung conditions
- Women’s Health PT addressing women-specific concerns
- Vestibular and Balance Therapy for equilibrium issues

Each type of physical therapy services may be delivered in a hospital or other setting, including outpatient clinics, sports medicine centers, private medical offices, nursing homes, assisted living homes, and rehabilitation centers, providing accessible care across different healthcare landscapes.

Overcoming the challenges of traditional privacy options

Regardless of the type or location, paramount to physical therapy care is providing comfortable and secure conditions for treatment and rehabilitation. Traditional privacy options, such as textile or disposable curtains or vinyl dividers harbor bacteria and are costly to wash or replace. Glass or plastic privacy options can pose unnecessary risks in the PT space, where patients or equipment could bump or break them.

The innovative design of the Silentia screen system contributes to a safe patient environment. The modular design allows screens to be expanded, contracted, moved, or combined to create optimal space for patients. Silentia screens feature hard, durable surfaces that can be wiped clean to reduce the spread of germs and withstand being handled frequently, bumped, knocked, or otherwise interacted with.

Privacy solutions for infusion therapy: Delivering dignity in patient care

Infusion therapy is a critical pillar of modern healthcare for treating some of the most challenging medical conditions our communities face today. Privacy screens are an essential element in providing quality care and maintaining a patient-centered approach.

Infusion centers and in-hospital infusion departments provide a controlled environment for infusion therapy and offer the necessary expertise and resources to ensure the safety and well-being of patients undergoing treatment. Patient privacy is of utmost importance in these environments, and Silentia privacy screens are emerging as indispensable assets for elevating the standard of dignified patient care.

Infusion care is designed to prioritize comfort and safety, as patients receiving infusion therapy often experience chronic pain, discomfort, and feelings of vulnerability. Privacy screens offer nurses a valuable tool in creating adaptable, private spaces that address these challenges. They are versatile, lightweight, and easy to use, which allows caregivers to easily maneuver and adjust them to provide privacy for patients while maintaining oversight of monitors and equipment. They are also easy to clean, in place, and with common cleaning materials, which encourages a cleaner and more hygienic environment.

Silentia privacy screen solutions come in a variety of designs, allowing you to choose options that complement the overall aesthetic and workflow of the care area, contributing to a positive atmosphere for patients.

No two healthcare spaces are the same, yet the need for a patient-oriented privacy solution is always a critical part of quality care. Gain some inspiration from the examples below of in-hospital and outpatient infusion center projects from around the country.

Clinic goes curtain-free to improve patient safety and experience

H. C. Andersen Clinic in Odense, Denmark, a small eight-bed hospital named after the famous author Hans Christian Andersen, has eliminated curtains as a privacy measure between patients.

The private hospital, which offers cosmetic plastic surgery, nose surgery, and eye surgery, uses Silentia folding privacy screens to ensure proper separation and hygienic protection between patients. Recently, they purchased additional screens to be utilized at the bedside.

“We use Silentia’s folding screens to screen between the patients. In one bedroom the beds are not in a row, so here we have chosen a large, double mobile screen that ensures good shielding for the patients,” says Alan Kimper-Karl, Director and Partner.

Folding screens are more practical and hygienic

“We previously had curtains as a screen, but they were quickly replaced in favor of folding screens. They are both practical and much more hygienic, which is something our nurses value very highly,” says Kimper-Karl.

As a supplement to the new screens, the hospital has included mobile bed end screens for additional privacy. They are easy to relocate when additional screening is needed in the other bedrooms or elsewhere.

“We learned about Silentia privacy screens from other clinics in the area. We have only had good experiences with them. They are both aesthetic and very functional. Furthermore, they serve as a long-term solution.”

Why replace curtains with privacy screens?

Curtain costs have a large impact your operating budget every year. Silentia folding privacy screens, on the other hand, are an investment that lasts at least 10 years and minimizes the amount of resources required to be cleaned over that time. Unlike curtains, our privacy screens can be cleaned instantly in place every day and after every patient.
