The above-mentioned theories all seem to be relevant to the process of designing outdoor environments in healthcare settings. Still, it is not obvious how they should be translated into guidelines concerning the content and design of such gardens. Cooper Marcus and Barnes (1999a) stated that, when designing environments intended to facilitate healing, the design needs to support the healing process. However, as Tenngart Ivarsson (2011) pointed out, existing frameworks are difficult to use because they list features rather than guiding design. To bridge the gap between research and design and to achieve evidence-based design of healthcare gardens, there is a need to integrate theories on the interaction between people and the outdoor environment and evidence from, e.g., POEs revealing important features of the outdoor environment in healthcare settings.
