Concepts regarding the development of healthcare settings designed to provide healing and healthy environments to enhance outcomes for all users will be discussed. The course reviews how `evidence-based design' approaches, modeled on `evidence-based medicine', have been applied to inform development and design practice. Authentic case examples will illustrate a `research-based design process' that includes the application of neuroscience and emerging virtual reality technologies to inform real-world solutions for the creation of healthy healthcare facilities. Consideration of multiple stakeholders in healthcare provision, regulatory issues, and the impact of design on the return on investment, will be considered in terms of human, health, wellbeing and economic outcomes.
