Neurorehabilitation inpatient facilities need to carefully manage occupational safety and risk management while also encouraging positive patient experiences. More information is needed on how inpatient neurorehabilitation facilities can most effectively support people recovering from spinal cord or acquired brain injuries, i.e., how they can be both safe and supportive for patients.

Research in medical humanities works on hospital architecture demonstrates the historical significance of spatial design for airflow and air exchange from the pre-antibiotic period until the present. The spatial and atmospheric design of hospitals is conceived while paying attention to the prevention of the spread of airborne infections, e.g., cystic fibrosis (CF).

Modern buildings tend to feature more insulation and tighter building envelopes, which can increase concentrations of indoor pathogens, particles, and pollutants. This can lead to higher rates of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), making the control of indoor air quality critically important.
