How evidence-based design supports better value generation for end-users

Interest in Evidence based design (EBD) has been growing extensively. Proper design decisions can not only maximise the occupant's health benefits, but also improve service delivery. There is a clear link between the concept of EBD and that of value generation to guide decision making for better healthcare design. Through an expensive literature review, a conceptual framework is presented, illustrating important decision making steps, considering EBD as means, with an emphasis on how it helps increase the end-users value generation. The paper concludes by identifying limitations and potential future studies.
