The authors of this open-access opinion piece in the journal BMJ Quality and Safety highlight the neglect of quiet and nutrition in some hospitals and how, rather than helping to treat patients, they are actually harming them. "As we seek to improve quality through patient-centredness, basic human needs are important in the context of complex medical care. We should view hospitals as healing environments rather than isolated clinical spaces and design patient care accordingly.”
