Biophilic Design
Studies find that providing patients with authentic connections to nature assists the healing process1. Adopting principles of biophilic design improves patient outcomes and reduce staff stress.
- Use natural construction materials with lines and textures that people can see and touch2.
- Use curvilinear organic shapes that avoid right angles to facilitate ecotherapy and the benefits time spent in nature has on reducing stress, anxiety, and depression3.
- Break away from the institutional look with nature-inspired curves and colors. INOX commercial strength locks for swing and sliding doors are offered in 30 designer lever styles and 36 different visual and tactile finish options.

Open Floor Planning
Studies find that hybrid floor plans conducive to controlling patient privacy in ways that still feel open and multi-use results in improved outcomes4. Space-saving options like sliding doors can provide wider openings and transparent or semi-transparent door materials can create an open feeling capable of limiting sound and airborne particulate leakage.
- Use sliding doors in place of swing doors to reclaim an additional 30 square feet of usable room5 in addition to wider access ways for equipment and streamlined paths of travel.
- Use glass or semi-transparent door materials that allow people to see beyond their immediate surroundings to gain the wellness benefits of an open floor plans’ feelings of connection, collaboration, and happiness6 while controlling potential distractions and infection7.
- Streamlined and minimal design options are revolutionizing healthcare facility layouts. INOX PD96 series sliding door locks are capable of all ANSI/BHMA functions. PD97 family of locks can be applied with glass patch door options and PD3000 offers narrow stile options for ICUs.

Security and Safety Trend Alert
Remote and hybrid workforces, as well as unprecedented safety risks like COVID-19, radically expand the scope and responsibilities of any organization’s security model.

Touchless Locking and Autolocking
Studies show that “touchless” access control components are driving investment in access control[1]. Secondary concerns are compatibility and ease of integration to existing systems[2].
- Use electrified mortise locks for sliding and swing doors with an adjustable delay to accommodate different auto openers timing.
- Consider electrified lock options that incorporate the power transfer in the contact with the strike to eliminate the need for drilling channels in a door or additional accessories like electrified hinges.
- Upgrade components rather than your entire access control system to get the latest electronic advancements. INOX PD97PT and PD97ES offer easy installation and touchless capabilities.
