Submitting to chemotherapy, radiation treatments, MRIs, CT scans and the like can 
be bad enough. But often, dreary, windowless rooms and corridors only worsen the experience.
But evidence-based design is not without controversy. With many patients lacking insurance, and the costs of care spiraling, some critics question whether spending on aesthetic features is the best use of money, especially when it is hard to prove they do any good. Hundreds of studies have linked various elements of design to reduction of stress, reduced use of medications, and better patient outcomes, but these conclusions aren't based on large-scale clinical trials considered the most reliable medical evidence.
