Feedback from patients was included in the research, but the majority of data was collected by those who work in healthcare environments. By creating more efficient spaces for caregivers, more of their time can be spent with patients. We also incorporated more comfortable spaces for the patient, and his or her family and guests, with the use of more residential looking materials and components that adapt to their needs to improve the healing experience.

I did notice that the one group of stakeholders not mentioned in the list of people consulted by HM in the design phase are actual patients. I guess it would be difficult to gather that type of information since everyone's experience is different. Perhaps the nursing staff was able to put together a list of most common patient complaints regarding traditional room setups?
