Wellness and prevention: controls and more ensure Virginia hospital’s health
“Quality of care” is more than just a phrase at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital (CRMH), one of the largest hospitals in Virginia. CRMH defines quality of care using six characteristics: excellence in care, patient safety, clinical outcome, technology advances, accessibility, and patient experience.
Maintaining the right physical environment is an important part of creating an indoor environment aligned with the hospital’s quality of care mission. That is why the hospital leadership team embraced a high-performance building approach to improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs, and shrink their environmental footprint while also improving the physical environment for patients, medical staff, and other building occupants.
