The Evidence Based Design ( EBD ) has become the fastest growing trend in healthcare development . It is a field of study emphasizing credible evidence to influence design. The paper deals with the EBD of "patient rooms" as one of the most important therapeutic elements of the environment inside a healthcare building. It examines the efficiency of care environment for patients, the feedback through the patient satisfaction and orientation towards the future design of patient rooms where the built environment will continuously need to be developed due to possible changes in medical technology. Some of the world proposal designs for patient rooms were studied as "Future's Patient Room". Factors associated with the room design were taken into consideration to gain access to a range of features for evidence-based design for maximum safety and optimality. An analytical study was carried out for some of patients rooms in Soin medical Center in Ohio, USA as an international case study. The field study investigated a range of patient rooms in Mansoura University hospital as well as in the the Urology and Nephrology Center-Mansoura University. Justifications for choosing the case studies were clarified, and the design of patient rooms were analyzed. The study includes evaluation of the most important features of each room through clarifying aspects of the EBD. Concluding comments are fomulated aiming to create more efficient health care environment and to improve patient and staff well-being, patient healing, stress reduction and safety.
