The whole topic is based on evidence based design. The evidence
based design is based on information available from both research
and project evaluation. If implemented accordingly, these projects
should result in demonstrated improvements in the organization’s
clinical outcomes, economic performance, productivity, customer
satisfaction, and cultural measures. According to the research the
gardens are medically beneficial and cost effective in heath care
facilities. In fact, research has documented that the appropriate
use of nature reduces Stress, improves health outcomes supports
pain management and promotes a sense of overall well-being
among patients, visitors, and staff. This reduces stress/anxietys
and reduction of depression has been observed by using nature
facilities. Patients who are in direct sensual contact with nature has
demonstrated higher thresholds of a pain. And interaction with
nature in chronic and terminal patients yields higher levels of
quality of life. Research also says that attention to the environment
of care yields financial benefits as well. Clare Cooper Marcus and
Marni Barnes have provided valuable research on the physical,
psychological, emotional, and behavioural responses to being in
contact with nature.
There are positive distraction which focused on individual situation
in access to nature within healthcare facilities .So in this sense
positive distraction are “environmental design elements that
effectively promote restoration from stress in patients, visitors,
and healthcare staff”.

Therapeutic Environments
There are areas like interior or exterior which has wide range of
positive psychological effects and subsequent benefits. Interior
environments are enhanced when views or elements of the
outside world are brought into the interior [Link] planting,
pictures of nature,aquariums,terrariums,light wells, skylights,
fountains and water features all this are natural sources which
bring psychological benefits to the patients, visitors and healthcare
staff.
The interior design should also incorporate nature into the
environment through interior courtyards and atria. They provide a
year-round benefit to visitors by bringing natural daylight to the
major gathering spaces of the facility. Green roof technology—
incorporating systems into the roof design to support organic
environments - is being implemented for environmental reasons
and supports therapeutic garden design concepts for healthcare
facilities as well. Exterior environmental factors provide the setting
for the healthcare campus and help to establish its character of
healing. Providing landscape and green screening along the arrival
sequence from the property boundaries, to the gateway, to the
parking space, to the front door will facilitate the therapeutic
campus-design concepts. Screening of service areas, vehicular
traffic, mechanical noise, and pollution should all be considered
and incorporated into the campus design.
User Groups
First and foremost are the patients, who compose many categories
depending on length of stay, physical and psychological needs, and
type of disability or infirmity. Patient classifications may be as
varied as ambulatory care or long-term care, pediatric or geriatric
and the physically, mentally or emotionally impaired, to
mention a few. The nature of the patient group and their individual
needs contribute greatly to the choices made in the environment
of care’s design and how natural elements are incorporated.
 NATURA HEALING ENVIRONMENT
• We as human beings have an inner connection
with our environment by physical, mental,
emotional and spiritual means. This connection
can create a dynamic life that people can thrive

learning, people are able to participate and
contribute to this connection with our
environment.

about fixing problems, eradicating disease, and
decreasing symptoms). People can be healed
even if they are not cured. For example, those
with a chronic disease can learn to live in peace

cured but not healed.
