Guide one explores the history and evolution of evidence-based design (EBD) through its present defintion and defines the key steps of the EBD process. Once the context is set, the guide will explore the components of the healthcare delivery system, the trends affecting it and the various settings in which delivery occurs.

Guide two explores the role of research in evidence-based design (EBD). The types of research and evidence will be discussed as well as methodologies for doing that research. The guide covers the value of using credible evidence in healthcare projects, and how through research design solutions are empirically evaluated and scientific evidence is generated.

Study Guide 3: Integrating Evidence-Based Design: Practicing the Healthcare Design Process.

Kent, J., Richter, L., Keller, A., Watkins, N., Bosch, S., Rasche, J., Herbert, C., Allums, H., Malone, E., Rybkowski, Z., McLaughlin, T., Gephart, V., Moler, J., Stroupe, J. & Doyle, K. (2009).
