As hospital budgets are getting tighter, administrators are looking for practical and cost effective ways to benefit both their patients and their professionals. Hospital design is a big player in budget talks, being some of the priciest pay points but some of the most necessary. A refurbished, welcoming and functional hospital design makes for not only more productive physicians and nurses, but safer patients. A Modern Healthcare article even goes as far as to point out that inefficient design leads to wasted time looking for supplies or staff, which means less time at a patient’s bedside. All in all, healthcare design is crucial. What are the latest trends in aesthetics and functionality that are helping patients feel more comfortable and professionals feel more productive?

Jason Pierret, Healthcare Market Manager for Clarus, has dedicated most of his career to the healthcare industry, and has seen how crucial the feel of a hospital can be on overall care. “If they have medicine that kind of walks the walk, their facility really needs to talk the talk,” Pierret said.

Pierret joined us on the podcast to discuss the latest trends in healthcare design and why efficient communication is inspiring the biggest changes. He also tackles the crippling issue of patient mistrust and how it’s directly correlated to healthcare design. But beyond that, he explains how innovative technology like VR or glassboards can inspire creativity among healthcare professionals, keep stressed patients at ease while waiting on difficult news, or just inspire a happier aura for a hospital.

“When they walk into a healthcare facility, what types of environments – what elements in that environment impact and influence the way that they feel,” Pierret said. “There are studies that are being conducted now that are saying that if the environment is positive and it’s bright and you feel good when you walk into the hospital, then that has a direct influence on patient outcomes.”

Why CAHPS still swings Star Ratings at half its old weight

Why CAHPS still swings Star Ratings at half its old weight

mPulse’s Sam Oliver and Reva Sheehan said the CAHPS chapter moved with overall Medicare Advantage Star Ratings from 2026 to 2027 after CMS cut its weight from 4 to 2. With 11 administrative measures set to start leaving with the 2028 ratings and the equity reward cancelled, they outlined scenario planning around CAHPS, population mix and reweighting changes.

  • 01CMS cut CAHPS from a weight of 4 to 2 in the CY2025 final rule, effective with the 2026 Star Ratings, yet mPulse's chapter data shows CAHPS still moved in the same direction as overall stars for the 2027 cycle.
  • 02The April 2026 final rule removes 11 administrative measures, but none leave before the 2028 Star Ratings; the 2027 measure set is unchanged and the Health Equity Index reward is cancelled.
  • 03CAHPS stars are set by percentile cutoffs and reliability tests, and in the 2025 Star Ratings 13 percent of CAHPS results landed on a different star than the cutoff implied, 93 percent of them lower, according to RISE Health.
