Today, the design of a healthcare facility is not just designing a performance-based building. Inopposition, it gradually shifts to a design that respects and considers human needs and admirationsfor both the medical team and patients. The literature review revealed many physical andpsychological environmental factors which affect the Patient's health and recovery. Since moststudies have focused on the effects of a single physical or psychological environment factor,conversely, in this research, we intend to investigate the results of the peak of the previous worksand categories them to provide a list of those affecting factors. In this research, by deep reviewingand the scientific method, the environmental factors and methods of measuring them are providedin a table. This table could be applied as a guiding tool for environmental designers and is achecklist for controlling the utilization of all the factors in environmental designs.
