Healthcare Acoustics is a critical consideration in designing and building healthcare facilities, from outpatient clinics to large hospital buildings. FGI guidelines help determine STC ratings, but there is limited research into the effects of dBA levels and Dynamic Ranges on patient satisfaction. In today’s age of HCAHPS ratings and reimbursement, it’s important to use acoustic criteria to ensure that Patient Care and Satisfaction is attained.
