  2. EVALUATION of NEW DESIGNS • EVIDENCE-BASED HOSPITAL DESIGN ? No Scientific Base at all. • COMMON-SENSE EVALUATION OF HOSPITAL DESIGNS NURSING UNITS HOSPITAL MASTERPLAN HOSPITAL RENOVATION AND UPGRADING

  3. “Evidence based” design, critic Mary Stankosand Benyamin Schwarz argue in “Evidence-based design in Healthcare: A Theoretical Dilemma” compared to the concept of evidence-based medicine : “the small number of (health facilities) studies which are distributed over somany topics cannotconstitute a criticalmass of knowledgeforevaluation. Therefore the evidence-base is toonarrow in quantity and quality to bedescribed as a knowledge base” See: Interdisciplinary Design and Research e-Journal 2007 Jan,1 Online at www.idrp.wsu.edu
