The future of the doctor's office |
| | Good morning, There's ample evidence that the design of our healthcare spaces can help people heal. But mostly, they haven't--a big problem facing a new cohort of entrepreneurs. Traditionally, doctor’s offices are designed with a focus on staff efficiency and a cost-effective use of space. You’re unlikely to see window views, displays of art and nature, seating choices, temperature controls, easy-to-navigate hallways, or support for non-native English speakers. Yet those very design traits have been linked to lowering patients’ stress, blood pressure, and even pain--as well as lowering stress and absenteeism for caregivers. Because of the pandemic, patients are communicating with their doctors virtually more often, meaning doctor’s offices suddenly have a new job to do: convincing patients they actually want to be there. And many of those medical businesses are turning to startups for help. Read our story to learn how a growing number of entrepreneurs and designers are building more functional and comfortable doctor’s offices for the post-Covid world. |

| Joe Biden is looking to enlist the government in a game-changing modernization of broadband internet, an effort some liken to FDR's sweeping crusade for rural electrification. Joe Biden hoped Congress could pass meaningful police reform to mark one year since George Floyd's death. But the deadline came and went with little sign of compromise. A successful push after George Floyd's death to remove officers from schools slowed as the pandemic wore on and a new administration took office. Now its momentum is far from assured. When congregations couldn't congregate during the coronavirus pandemic, some churches have reconsidered their needs for physical space, especially in a hot real estate market. Biden said that U.S. intelligence agencies are focused on two likely scenarios for the origin: human contact with an infected animal or a laboratory accident. The Golden State is prepping for this year's wildfire season, which has begun in some areas, on the heels of a record-breaking 2020 season. U.S. News photo editors curate this month's most compelling images from at home and abroad. |
