Although much attention in healthcare is paid to clinical issues and to the medical care patients receive, recently little attention has been paid also to the physical space where patient stay. Evidence-based design (EBD) is an approach to healthcare design that give importance to design features that impact patient health, well-being, mood, and safety, as well as staff stress and safety. The approach focused on the relations between the quality and the features of the hospital environment and the patient healing.
EBD is the process of basing decisions about the built environment on credible research to achieve the best possible outcomes ([http://www.healthdesign.org The Center for Health Design], 2008).
