Improving clinical outcome with care-centred workplaces
—A healing environment is desirable for patients and for caregivers alike. One element is the physical space in which healing is practiced1: an advanced workplace design in terms of healing environment offers for example, hidden medical technology, a pleasant room design with colour concepts, appropriate lighting, a good acoustic environment, as well as well-planned floor layouts and work settings. All these modifications are associated with improved healthcare outcomes2.

How to create a healing environment
Paediatric anaesthetist Robert Brand explains why it is important for him to think about the hospital setting from the child's perspective – and what that perspective can lead to in hospital design.
Better for everyone: A healing environment brings benefits for patients, personnel and posterity
The impact of architecture and design on health and healing is a central focus for the young architect Mena Theißen-Helling – as a researcher at Berlin's Technical University and as a member at architectural firm Nickl & Partner. She argues that importance of the "healing environment" will only grow in coming years.
Staff Satisfaction by designing care-centred workplaces
Evidence-based design (EBD) uses information from research to optimise surgery and patient rooms, e.g. regarding lighting, noise, infection prevention, etc. Therefore, EBD in hospitals could significantly improve outcomes and make patient and staff environments healthier3. Healthcare workers have a central role in patient care and thus are key in providing input on facility projects.
Healing Design and its influence
Healthcare design could not only impact patient safety and outcomes, but also staff satisfaction and financial outcome4. Our Infographic summarizes the multimodal influences of healthcare design.
