Healthcare Acoustics: Do you care about sound in healthcare design?

Hospital Noise Can Be Costly-

A 2013 benchmarking study by the Beryl Institute[1] reports that noise reduction is the highest priority for improving patient experience in hospitals. This disturbing proclamation revolves around patients consistently giving low marks to acoustics on surveys administered by the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS). We’d like to think the primary motivator for prioritizing noise reduction is an improvement in the quality of healthcare. And yet, the old adage “follow the money” comes to mind. The 2005 Deficit Reduction Act authorizes withholding of some portion of hospital reimbursements for care of Medicare patients based in part on the HCAHPS survey results. So… acoustical issues equate to money issues, at least for American hospitals.

Hospital Noise Affects Patients & Medical Staff Alike-

The degree to which acoustics continues to be overlooked in healthcare design is surprising.  Excessive noise in hospitals not only raises stress levels of patients, but also for the medical staff. In fact, the impetus for this blog was an article in the Mumbai Mirror citing HVAC noise as a contributing factor in delaying the opening of a new Emergency Medical Services (EMS) ward at KEM Hospital.[2] One line in the article tells the whole story, “…doctors said there was no way they could perform operations and complex procedures in the ward till the noise problem is fixed.”  My first thought was, “This problem could have been avoided altogether (and probably at lower cost) if the design team had included a qualified acoustical consultant.”

Educate Yourself on Healthcare Acoustics-

Anyone wanting to “bone-up” on healthcare acoustics can find plenty of readily available information. Facilities Guidelines Institute (FGI) cites the de facto standard for healthcare acoustics – Sound & Vibration: Design Guidelines for Health Care Facilities.[3,4] Various other resources are available to further inform the design industry about relevant acoustical issues in healthcare design. An excellent overview of the issues and the current status of healthcare acoustical design came out in the Aug. 2014 issue of Sound & Vibration Magazine.[5] This article includes quite a few additional references for the interested reader.

Below, we have assembled several more resources starting with a link to a bulletin about the Care for Sound Symposium[6] held Oct. 17th in Lund, Sweden. The bulletin has links to papers that were presented and actual video files of presentations that are quite informative.  We’ve included links to two articles that are relevant to patient room acoustics. One is on patient privacy citing the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).[7] The other explains how use of electronic sound masking in patient rooms can reduce noise disturbances.[8] Finally, we’ve included links to three articles addressing alarm fatigue[9-11] in hospitals.

Get Help… We Care about the Sound of Healthcare-

The unfortunate truth is that design professionals have enough to do in terms of staying current in their respective disciplines whether they are architects, structural engineers, interior designers, MEP engineers or IT consultants. There is little time or motivation to learn about acoustics, despite the fact that healthcare acoustics may be largely determined by the design work of these disciplines.  We hope you will at least make time to gain an awareness of the critical issues using the resources provided here. Then… don’t hesitate to get qualified help on your next project.

Room Acoustics: The field of room acoustics deals with the behavior of sound in enclosed spaces. For performing arts and worship venues, Marsh/PMK works with architects to develop the appropriate room geometry, surface shaping and finish materials to achieve desirable room acoustic characteristics subjectively described using terms like reverberance, warmth, clarity, loudness and listener envelopment as well as support for musicians on the stage. In conference facilities, classrooms, courtrooms and similar smaller spaces, short reverberation times and avoidance of disturbing echoes are important objectives. Room acoustic design and remedial work in “large rooms” like enclosed sports facilities and transportation terminals present certain challenges in terms of echo control and achievement of adequate speech intelligibility for amplified sound. Marsh/PMK uses acoustical modeling as an aid in the design of room acoustics.

Sound Isolation (for noise control and acoustical privacy): Sound isolation services consist of design and testing in relation to airborne sound transmission between adjacent spaces within buildings as well as impact (structure-borne) sound transmission through floor/ceiling assemblies. Sound separations are critical in performing arts and worship facilities, hotels and multi-party residential construction, classrooms, courtrooms, hospital bed towers and in office buildings to name a few examples. Speech privacy in office buildings is often aided through use of electronic sound masking, which establishes a minimum required level of background noise with a controlled frequency spectrum. Marsh/PMK applies knowledge gained from past projects along with modeling tools, available laboratory test data and state-of-the-art measurement instrumentation in providing services to achieve or assess sound isolation in buildings.

MEP Noise & Vibration Control: Steady-state ambient (background) noise levels in buildings normally result from the ordinary operation of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems. Noise sources include chillers, pumps, air-handling units, air distribution ductwork, terminal devices, cooling towers, garage fans, transformers/substations, emergency generators and water flow through piping, valves, etc. Marsh/PMK provides noise and vibration control for these systems and components to achieve acceptable levels as established by ASHRAE and ANSI.

Environmental Noise Assessment: Outdoor noise studies may consist of field measurements and analysis using drawings and maps or predictive modeling to determine the impact of existing or planned noise sources on existing or newly planned buildings. One example is the noise impact of aircraft flyovers on a new school being constructed near an existing airport. In addition to the impact of existing environmental noise on buildings, we must also consider new noise being introduced by buildings or developments that can impact nearby communities. Examples of this include construction of amphitheatres, theme parks, bars and restaurants with outdoor patios and open-air stadiums near communities. Marsh/PMK’s environmental noise consulting services include all of the above as well as review of plans for new construction to ensure that garage fans, cooling towers and emergency generators will meet local noise code requirements at the property line.

Sound Reinforcement Systems: An ideal sound reinforcement design covers an audience with amplified sound in a manner that provides uniform loudness, good speech intelligibility, musical clarity, natural tonal quality and proper localization to the natural acoustic sources. Marsh/PMK has provided sound system designs for hundreds of facilities including theatres for performing arts, worship centers, sports facilities, hotels, convention centers, courtrooms, city council chambers, university lecture halls, nightclubs, casinos and theme parks.

Audio-Video Presentation Systems: The basic function of an AV presentation system is to display images, reproduce the associated audio and provide user-friendly media control. However, the capabilities of modern AV systems go far beyond this description. System designers must keep abreast of rapidly changing technologies in networked AV, digital audio signal processing platforms, flat-panel displays, new projection engines and optics, control system advancements and much more. Our team has extensive experience designing AV presentation systems for corporate boardrooms, conference rooms and training facilities, hotel meeting spaces, courtrooms, government centers and university academic buildings.

Video Boards, Video Walls & Digital Signage: Procurement of scoreboards, large format LED boards, “ribbon displays” and even ordinary digital signage is often a vendor-driven – i.e., without a fair basis for competitive pricing. Marsh/PMK can assist building owners in “leveling the playing field” through a variety of services from programming the technical performance requirements and writing RFPs to complete system design. Our firm has designed digital signage, scoreboards, video boards, video replay and scoreboard control for both professional and collegiate sports facilities. We’ve also designed digital signage systems for many non-sports applications including retail mall way-finding, hotel meeting room scheduling, casino promotions, food outlet menu boards and courthouse digital docketing.

Low Voltage/ELV* Add-on Services

Before AV-IT convergence was even a catch-phrase, consultants at PMK were implementing a networked audio design on a grand scale for the 2002 opening of the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center near Orlando, FL. Networked audio and video is now common, even necessary for large systems that have equipment racks distributed throughout a building or an entire campus. AV is becoming significantly more dependent on network resources and more integrated with the IT environment. This leads to shared equipment spaces and cabling pathways. In order to gain the greatest design efficiencies and to improve interdisciplinary coordination, Marsh/PMK offers low voltage consulting as an add-on service to our AV scope through strategic subcontract partnerships.

*Note: What is defined as a low voltage system by the National Electric Code in the U.S. is considered in many other countries to be an “extra-low voltage” (ELV) system as defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). These include structured cabling systems serving voice and data networks as well as security systems providing video surveillance, building access control and intrusion detection.
