很少有信息或指导可用于帮助医院视觉环境的发展。NHS Estates要求提供一份关于照明和色彩设计方案的报告，供负责翻新战略的非专业人员使用。首先，对20家医院进行了审计，以了解目前的做法，并确定色彩设计可以广泛改善患者，工作人员和访客环境的关键问题。本报告概述了可利用和应用色彩设计的关键领域，以使所有使用者受益，从环境到基本法律的要求，如视障人士的色彩对比度。提供员工休闲室，其色彩和照度水平与直接工作空间不同，或为等待重症治疗的患者精心设计的区域，已经被证明对健康感有良好的影响。颜色和设计还没有被确定为治疗疾病和健康不良的确切方法，但毫无疑问，没有经过任何精心装修的房舍的单调和恶劣条件对康复率和工作人员士气产生了不利影响。人们认识到，一个良好的平衡和有吸引力的环境对病人的健康至关重要，这一点并不新鲜;佛罗伦萨南丁格尔观察到，“呈现给病人的各种形式和色彩的物体是一种实际的康复手段”。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Little information or guidance has been available to assist the development of a hospital's visual environment. A report on lighting and colour design schemes, accessible to non professionals with responsibility for refurbishment strategies, was required by NHS Estates. Firstly, 20 hospitals were audited to establish a picture of current practice and to identify key issues where colour design could broadly enhance the environment for patients, staff and visitors. Critical areas were outlined in this report, where colour design can be utilised and applied, for the benefit of all users, from ambience to essential legal requirements such as colour contrast for the visually impaired.Provision of staff relaxation rooms that are different in terms of colour and lux levels from immediate work spaces, or thoughtfully designed areas for patients awaiting intensive treatment, have been shown to have sonic beneficial effects on a sense of well being. Colour and design have not been established as a definite cure for sickness and ill health, but certainly monotony and poor conditions in premises that have not been refurbished with any care, have had a detrimental affect on recovery rates and staff morale. The realisation that a well balanced and attractive environment is of major importance to patients' health is, in no way new; Florence Nightingale observed that 'a variety of form and brilliance of colour in the objects presented to patients are an actual means of recovery'.
