Healthcare Environment

Healthcare environment is always a major concern in the field of medical services. It is required to be
taken into major consideration when it comes to society’s health. To maintain healthy environment, health care systems
are providing extra services in order to make patient’s feel healthier and fresh.

A Healthy Work Environment is one that is safe, empowering, and satisfying. Parallel to the World
Health Organization definition of health, it is not merely the absence of real and perceived threats to health, but a place
of “physical, mental, and social well-being,” supporting optimal health and safety. A culture of safety is paramount, in
which all leaders, managers, health care workers, and ancillary staff have a responsibility as part of the patient centered
team to perform with a sense of professionalism, accountability, transparency, involvement, efficiency, and
effectiveness.
