Development of a Designer’s Checklist for the Designing of an Optimal Healing Environment in Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Healthcare Facilities (HFCS)

The purpose of this research is to develop a designer’s checklist encompassing the various categories healthcare facilities (HCFs). This based on available about elements/factors healing environment. An evidence-based design was used conduct study. Online database searches Google Scholar, JSTOR, Scopus, and PubMed using keywords, such as environment, design, patient safety, infection, medical errors, falls, stress reduction, social support, single bedroom, views nature, daylighting, music therapy, noise levels in setting were for data collection. collected analyzed level evidence sorted accordingly development three types optimal environments. All elements/ factors environmental coded according their into categories: 1) Fair (F) comprising expert opinions, case series, reports, 2) Good (G) cohort studies case-control studies, 3) Excellent (E) randomized controlled trials systematic reviews. To create an study proposes different environments corresponding with HCFs follows: 1)healing environment Level-I tertiary includes E, G, F evidence, 2)healing Level-II secondary E G 3)healing Level-III primary evidence. makes designing renovation easily measurable achievable.
