The publisher forgot to put this message anywhere in the book. As an innovator in the field of interior architecture for healthcare, Jain’s book, A Visual Reference for Evidence-based Design, was the first book written on this topic. The design of “healing environments” quickly became an industry buzzword after publication of Jain’s book, Hospital Interior Architecture, in 1992, which promoted the concept of research-based design. She has guided thousands of designers through her books, articles, lectures, and seminars to design better patient experiences. The design of healthcare facilities evolves and adapts to ever-changing advances in technology, sustainability, organizational culture and performance, but one must never forget that patients are the primary focus. When translating a client’s vision into a supportive environment that produces positive outcomes on many levels, a true “healing environment” has been created.
