<strong>Bariatric</strong> <strong>Patient</strong> <strong>Room</strong> <strong>Market</strong>: Drivers<br />

Hospitals all across the United States are struggling to serve an increasing number of obese patients, and<br />

are adopting new design guidelines to accommodate such kind of patients. This has led to a sharp focus<br />

on bariatric patient room market that is poised to show a robust growth. In addition, going through a<br />

bariatric surgery has become relatively necessary for people who are obese and overweight. Due to the<br />

increasing prevalence of obesity in developed western countries, the awareness about bariatric surgery<br />

has increased. This has generated a need for conducive environment for bariatric patients in the<br />

healthcare facilities where there every need is met easily and they are comfortable during their surgery<br />

and recovery phase.<br />

In order to treat bariatric patients, healthcare providers must invest in equipment, furniture and<br />

renovation that support heavier patients. The median estimated cost of obesity related renovations is<br />

$100,000. However, such costs are being recovered by the hospitals through the increase in popularity of<br />

bariatric surgeries, and Medicare reimbursements. Also, equipment inventory cost is recovered within 6<br />

months. All this contributes to the growing bariatric patient room market.<br />
