Abstract: (14 Views)
The health facility environment is more than a backdrop to care; it is a key contributor to the quality of health care as perceived by patients. Evidence-based design—through lighting, layout, and wayfinding—reduces stress, enhances safety, and boosts satisfaction. These environmental cues also act as subtle forms of marketing of health services, signaling organizational values and patient-centeredness. This review highlights how hospital design shapes patient experience and influences nonverbal perceptions of care.
