New White Paper: Daylighting in Healthcare Facilities

From improved recovery times to better worker attendance, daylighting systems offer a wide range of benefits for healthcare facilities beyond their beauty and functionality.
The high-responsibility, high-stress nature of healthcare work is widely-known for wearing on a worker’s mental and physical well-being. Long shifts in an environment with little sunlight leaves many healthcare workers feeling fatigued and lacking the focus to properly attend to their patients. These conditions have caused widespread burnout among doctors and nurses and have made it difficult for administration to recruit and retain workers willing to tolerate these demands. Over time, however, research has found that daylighting hospitals and clinics can energize staff, improve patient-provider relationships, reduce human error, and even enhance overall job satisfaction.
Natural light is also therapeutic. By regulating important physiological processes that impact a person’s physical and mental wellbeing, natural light has been shown to support patient recovery and overall health. And in a typically high-stress environment like a clinic or a hospital, natural light is especially important for creating a calmer, more comfortable environment for patients to heal.
