At a time when attention to a healthy indoor climate has never been higher, Dr. Morten Hovgaard-Sveen from Patientenicentrum.dk shows the way forward with his innovative approach to indoor climate improvement through the use of advanced technology SKYEN. This case study examines how a focus on indoor climate can improve the daily lives of both patients and staff by working purposefully with air quality while also actively contributing to reducing the risk of infection by airborne viruses.
As a specialist at Patientenicentrum.dk in a medical practice located in Rødovre Centrum, Morten faced a common challenge in many healthcare facilities: the need for increased focus on the importance of indoor climate for the well-being of both employees and patients. Morten admits that their initial awareness of the importance of indoor climate was limited, even though he, as a doctor, was aware of the issue of indoor climate.
As a forward-thinking physician, Morten chose to implement SKYEN, a groundbreaking product designed to monitor and visually indicate the oxygen level in the room - a direct indicator of when ventilation is necessary. This initiative from physician Morten not only ensured a healthier working environment with improved indoor climate but also a standardization of ventilation habits that were previously based on individual preferences.
"As a healthcare facility, it goes without saying that both we and our patients should be in healthy and well-ventilated rooms. The risk of airborne infection can even be kept down with optimal ventilation. That is why we have chosen to invest in SKYEN, as it visually indicates when it is time to air out, namely when the oxygen level in the room is too low. With SKYEN, we now have a healthy ventilation policy that has standardized our ventilation patterns, instead of it being dictated by the needs and wishes of individual colleagues. SKYEN gives us a clear indication of when we should air out, which both patients and employees are happy about."
The implementation of SKYEN under the leadership of Dr. Morten has resulted in noticeable improvements in air quality and indoor climate. Staff report fewer cases of headaches and fatigue, symptoms often associated with poor indoor climate. This positive change in indoor climate, initiated by the experienced doctor, has not only increased job satisfaction but also supported a healthier daily life for everyone in the medical practice.
"With the behavioral change, we experience less fatigue and headaches among the staff, as a result of the now natural focus on fresh air in the clinic. I recommend everyone to buy SKYEN as a ventilation product that simply and intuitively changes our behavior and sets the agenda for a healthy indoor climate for everyone"
The case of Dr. Morten clearly demonstrates how a targeted focus on indoor climate can transform both the work environment and the patient experience. As a doctor, Morten has shown that investing in the right technology for improved indoor climate is not just a cost, but an investment in health and well-being for all parties. This approach from a dedicated doctor can inspire other healthcare facilities to take similar initiatives for improved indoor climate and air quality.
