Description
There are three standards that place significant requirements on acoustics in health care: 2010 edition of the FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities, HCAHPS Scores, and LEED for Healthcare. In this session we will discuss how to decide whether FGI acoustical compliance is worth the cost, how to increase your facility’s HCAHPS acoustical score at the lowest possible cost, and identify LEED for Healthcare points for good acoustic performance. This session will enable attendees to:

Understand the potential impact of adoption of 2010 FGI Guidelines on your facility.
Learn how acoustics can improve your HCAHPS scores.
Understand which measures provide the best value in improving HCAHPS scores.
Learn how some physical environment changes can improve HCAHPS scores, move toward FGI-2010 compliance, and even generate LEED points.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:
  • Learn how acoustics can improve your HCAHPS scores.
