COVID 19 TO RESEARCHERS

When this research was conducted, concluding in March 2020, the world experienced the unforeseen
outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This event significantly impacted all facets of society, including the
healthcare sector and the architecture of healthcare institutions [22,23]. However, our research focused
on the period before the pandemic outbreak, as it was designed and executed before this event. The
COVID-19 outbreak introduced new challenges and needs in the design of healthcare and social care
institutions, which previous research could not have anticipated [24]. Therefore, it was logical to limit
the research period to 2020 to ensure consistency and relevance of the collected data.

key categories that reflect the critical aspects of evaluating healthcare institutions:
 architectural and design guidelines,
 user experience and satisfaction, and
 sustainability and environmental impact.
o energy efficiency, the use of sustainable materials, waste management, water efficiency,
and other sustainable approaches used in the planning and construction of the healthcare
