But with creative designing and input from our staff, we succeeded. This is what a cardiac unit looks like when it is designed by cardiac specialists. This kind of patient-centered care improves both healing and comfort. Wider halls, a larger nursing station and a larger receptionist's area facilitate movement. Two isolation rooms feature the latest air-handling systems to protect patients awaiting heart transplants and those with infectious diseases.
Patient rooms are larger, more private and have a bathroom.
The color scheme is peach and teal in keeping with other cardiology units. The CCU staff also benefits from a large conference room for teaching, a larger lounge, more lockers and offices within the unit.
