TO BE MORE SPECIFIC: WHAT FUNCTIONAL AREAS MUST BE CLOSE TO
THE OPERATING ROOM, THE HEART OF IMPLANTOLOGY TREATMENT?
DR. LIEBERUM The following rooms should be directly accessible from the operating
room – possibly with air locks: patient preparation room, recovery room and sterilization
room. Important factors here are small details, for example so the patient
will feel well looked after in the recovery room but does not feel under close
observation.
THE LARGE WAITING AREA IS IN THE RECEPTION AREA OF YOUR PRACTICE.
VERY ATTRACTIVE, BUT THERE MUST BE MORE TO IT THAN THAT …
DR. LIEBERUM Attractive ambience and generous use of space make patients
feel relaxed. The room has multimedia facilities so films explaining procedures to
patients can be shown and internet access is also available. The waiting room can
also be easily converted into a seminar room – an important factor for us as a
referrer practice. It can also be used for social occasions. Everyone establishing a
practice should tell the interior architect about the multifunctional requirements.
AN IMPLANTOLOGY PRACTICE SHOULD BASICALLY HAVE A GENEROUS
AMOUNT OF SPACE?
DR. LIEBERUM No. You should try to implement your own interior style so
patients and referrers will feel relaxed. This may be different in Munich and different
again in Kiel. Every patient certainly looks for a friendly atmosphere – and a
spacious room alone is not the answer. Quite the contrary: in times of not knowing
what the returns for implant procedures will be in future it would be wise to be
moderate.
