Purpose

This study aims to trace the relationship between the evidence-based design (EBD) process and decision-making during the architectural design process, the barriers to informing health-care architects and possible methods to overcome these barriers.

Design/methodology/approach

This study aims to explore the barriers to the EBD process during the design process by reviewing the relevant literature and future steps to overcome these barriers and support design decisions.

Findings

The study shows that EBD is a relevant, useful tool for providing evidence that positively affects design decisions. This study divides EBD barriers into simple barriers and complex barriers, depending on the nature of the barrier. Additionally, methods to overcome these barriers are discussed to ensure the best use of EBD findings with a significant impact on health-care design decisions, as they are core elements in informing architects, especially when combined with the traditional design process. This study investigates how likely it is for the EBD to contribute optimally to design decisions depending on architects’ skills and cooperation with researchers.

Originality/value

This study can apprize health-care architects of the need to consider the role of EBD in improving the quality of design decisions, and the importance of combining EBD with the traditional design process to implement optimal design decisions.

循证设计在告知医疗保健建筑师方面的作用

目的

这项研究旨在追踪基于证据的设计（EBD）过程与建筑设计过程中的决策之间的关系，告知医疗保健建筑师的障碍以及克服这些障碍的可能方法。

设计/方法/方法

本研究旨在通过回顾相关文献和克服这些障碍并支持设计决策的未来步骤，探索设计过程中EBD流程的障碍。

发现

研究表明，EBD是提供有用的证据，可以有效地影响设计决策的相关工具。这项研究根据屏障的性质将EBD屏障分为简单屏障和复杂屏障。此外，还讨论了克服这些障碍的方法，以确保最佳地利用EBD结果，从而对医疗保健设计决策产生重大影响，因为它们是通知建筑师的核心要素，尤其是与传统设计流程结合使用时。这项研究调查了EBD根据建筑师的技能和与研究人员的合作，对设计决策做出最佳贡献的可能性。

创意/价值

这项研究可以使医疗保健设计师意识到需要考虑EBD在提高设计决策质量方面的作用，以及将EBD与传统设计过程相结合以实现最佳设计决策的重要性。
