Need opinions of boom system

Hello all,

I am on a hospital committee working to design our new Children's and Women's Hospital project at a major academic medical center. I am interested in suggesting using the boom or swing arm system instead of a fixed headwall in the ICU's.

Does anyone here use these? How do you feel about them? Does it make your room more flexible, or doesn't it matter? Do you feel it easier to keep the room clean without as much equipment on the floor? How about capacity? Do you have enough outlets for suction, medical gases, electrical? Do you hate them? Why? Do you love them? Why?

Thank you in advance for your response!
