Innovation and scientific breakthroughs has made our society what it is today, and as a healthcare clinic or facility, it is your moral obligation to stay current with all the new innovations and technologies available today. Evolving with the changing world of healthcare and medical treatment will set your facility apart from all the rest, setting the bar for professionalism, quality, and service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:23px\">Here are some considerations to incorporate into your preconstruction planning process for medical facility construction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Copper Surfaces<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anti-microbial is the way to go, especially considering the tragedies that have come out of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the medical treatment industry, such protections are of the highest importance. After all, patients check in to get better, not sicker. One design approach that is taking the medical facility construction world by storm is copper-alloy touch surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Copper retains natural properties that kill microorganisms, such as disease-causing bacteria and antibiotic-resistant infections. In fact, studies have shown that copper services can kill all microbes within an hour\u2019s time. Even the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) condones the applications of copper alloys as, &#8220;antimicrobial materials with public health benefits.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Recommended copper-alloy touch surface installations include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">\u25b6 Bed Tables<br>\u25b6  Railing (Bed rails, handrails, stair railing, etc.)<br>\u25b6  Computer Keyboards<br>\u25b6  Doorknobs<br>\u25b6 Faucets, Sinks and Toilet Hardware<br>\u25b6 Fitness and Physical Therapy Equipment<br>\u25b6 Shopping Cart Handles<br>\u25b6 Countertops<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Touch-Free Technologies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to antimicrobial protection through the use of copper alloy surface installations, medical facility construction designers and advisors have opted for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bafcorp.com\/blog\/touch-free-design-suggestions-for-commercial-buildings-and-businesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">touch-free technology applications<\/a> and designs. Hands-free technologies, like motion-sensor doors and automatic sink faucets, can significantly reduce the spread of germs and other illness-causing components. You may also consider touch-free designs like automated soap and hand sanitizer dispensers, voice-activated emergency assistance, and touch-free intercoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Are you looking for a qualified commercial construction company to navigate your healthcare building or renovation project in Indiana?<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bafcorp.com\/contact-us.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contact BAF Corporation<\/a> at 317-253-0531 for superior <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bafcorp.com\/commercial-construction-services\/healthcare.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">medical facility construction in Indianapolis, Indiana<\/a>.
