Evidence-based design, or EBD, is a field of study emphasizing credible research to base decisions about the built environment, and influence design. In healthcare, numerous studies have shown positive outcomes of EBD. The 5 cornerstones of EBD:
• • • • •
Reduces Stress and Anxiety Lowers Blood Pressure Reduces need for pain medication Improves staff-reported satisfaction Becomes a positive distraction for patients, visitors and staff.
In addition, EBD studies suggest that the use of nature-based artwork in healthcare has a positive influence on patient outcomes as well. According to Ulrich and Gilpin (2003), within the healthcare environment, research suggests that nature art (or art with views or representations of nature) will promote restoration if it contains the following features:
• • • • •
Calm or slowly moving water Verdant foliage Flowers Foreground spatial openness Park-like or Savannah-like properties
This is why we do what we do! We are committed to producing healing, natural indigenous photography. From concept to completion, we deliver exceptional artistic visual outcomes!
