Evidence-Based Design for Healthcare Improvement shows how the built environment can be a powerful tool for advancing healthcare outcomes. With accessible, well-illustrated chapters written by leading experts in EBD in collaboration with clinicians, this book bridges the gap between research and practice.

Focusing on areas where design has the greatest impact―teamwork, safety and infection prevention, patient experience, lighting, wayfinding, and inpatient room design―each chapter offers a concise introduction, key studies, successful project examples, and actionable design strategies.

Inside, readers will find:

How EBD addresses core challenges in U.S. healthcare―directly and indirectly
Ways that design can drive, not just reflect, change in healthcare systems
Research-based strategies to improve outcomes for patients, families, staff, and organizations
Specific examples where EBD has measurably improved healthcare environments
Practical guidance for designers, health system leaders, and researchers―plus a look at what’s next

Whether you’re a healthcare executive, architect, researcher, or student, Evidence-Based Design for Healthcare Improvement is an essential resource for harnessing the built environment to deliver better care.
