CRD SUMMARY: This review investigated effects of ambient, architectural or interior design features of health care settings on health and well-being. The authors concluded that features of the physical health care environment affect the well-being of patients, but evidence for the effects of specific environmental stimuli is limited. The authors' cautious conclusions reflect the limitations of the evidence presented and appear appropriate.
