What is the role of architecture in healthcare?

The role of architecture in healthcare is to design and plan physical environments that support the delivery of safe, efficient, and effective medical care. It involves designing spaces that meet the needs of patients, healthcare providers, and support staff, while simultaneously facilitating communication, collaboration, and teamwork. Architecture also plays a critical role in enhancing patient experience and satisfaction, as well as improving patient and healthcare provider safety. Designing healthcare facilities that are functional, welcoming, and accessible can ultimately help improve the quality of care and outcomes for patients.
