HermanMiller Healthcare Compass System
The System Designed for Change
The perfect healthcare space today will not be perfect
tomorrow. Healthcare organizations face an ongoing
challenge in managing their facilities: while treatment
and care processes continually evolve, many healthcare
spaces are not designed to adapt.
Compass helps navigate change. A system of interchangeable
components for hospital and outpatient facilities, Compass
creates applications for patient rooms, exam rooms, caregiver
work areas, and other clinical spaces.
Flexibility
Designed for change. Compass components are easily assembled, removed, rearranged,
and refreshed. Storage can be quickly relocated, headwall utilities can be easily
accessed, added, or modified, and damaged product can be easily replaced without
demolition.
The result is unmatched flexibility.
Designed for Healthcare
Tiles and components are wrapped in Durawrap, a 99.9% PVC-free material that requires
no edge banding, resulting in a seamless, cleanable, and durable surface. A shingled
seam between tiles and components prevents spills from seeping in gaps and eliminates
the spread of infection. Compass meets the rigorous cleaning requirements of healthcare
environments.
The design of Compass allows nurses and other clinical staff to easily make real-time
changes to the patient room environment in response to changes in supply storage,
patient acuity, or EMR introduction.
Considerate of all
The overall experience of a Compass environment: a space that’s well designed,
intuitively organized, and inherently satisfying for everyone who uses it.
Aesthetics were an important design consideration. Architects and designers can easily
execute their design vision. Compass is available in a range of finishes that integrates
into traditional and contemporary settings.
Intelligent Infrastructure
Compass accommodates the utility needs of healthcare environments. Its intelligent
infrastructure manages utilities whether pre-piped/pre-wired, stubbed out, or chased
from the ceiling.
The infrastructure was engineered to accommodate imperfections in construction by
allowing the system to be leveled so when walls are not flat or plumb, the final solution
looks perfect.
Long-term Value
Intelligent design and efficient installation make the purchase price affordable.
Unmatched flexibility minimizes life-cycle costs and delivers great value over time.
To manage inevitable damage and wear-and-tear, Compass’ design and rail system make
it easy to swap out modules whether it’s a single tile or an entire wall.
