Rosalyn Cama, FASID, NCIDQ, EDAC, President and Principal Interior Designer at CAMA Inc. on The Time Between - traditionally known as “waiting time” in the hospital and healthcare setting.
Rosalyn shares, “The space between care delivery can be so much longer. We decided to map these experiences and called it The Time Between. We wanted to know what people were thinking, feeling and seeking for distraction, and how the built environment could possibly improve those conditions. It is during these times of waiting that pain and confusion set in not just for patients, but for family members, as well.” Learn more about The Time Between, and how it is during this time that patient satisfaction shifts as the patient’s perception of care changes. This, and how CAMA Inc. is partnering with artisans and manufacturers to harness the healing power of touch and promote physical contact between patients, loved ones, and caregivers.
