result in a higher employee retention rate,
which leads to better teamwork, increased
continuity of patient care, and ultimately
improvements in patient outcomes.

Most importantly, good wayfinding design
promotes healing because being able to
understand their environment provides visitors
with a sense of control and empowerment, key
factors in reducing stress, anxiety, and fear—
feelings that undermine the body’s ability to
heal.

Health care institutions that maintain gardens
on their grounds benefit in the following ways:
greater patient satisfaction with their care and
caregivers, potentially shorter hospital stays,
and better outcomes.
