If you happen to go to Northwestern Memorial in Chicago as a visitor or with your client, I recommend asking for a tour. Many of the features are very interesting, but easy to miss.
For example, in all the patient areas, even in the corridors, the ceiling lights are placed so that a patient will never be looking directly into them. They said that the lobby and check-in area were designed to be like...
a first-class hotel, but in some ways they are more low key and relaxing.
The beds are efficient for moving patients. There is a medical library for visiting families, with computers, and books organized by medical category. Even the corridor layouts are interesting.
It is worth asking the administration for a tour if you are in Chicago.
