About
Dr. Shrikant Sharma is a leading voice in evidence-based design for healthcare environments, with a particular focus on optimizing pharmacy operations. His most-cited work, "Using Evidence-Based Design to Improve Pharmacy Department Efficiency" (2016), has garnered 9 citations and stands as a seminal case study in the field. In this research, Dr. Sharma rigorously compared three pharmacy department layouts—the existing design, an anecdotal redesign, and a novel evidence-based configuration—using a real-world rebuild in the South West of England. His major contribution lies in demonstrating that systematic, data-driven design principles can simultaneously enhance workflow efficiency and staff well-being, moving beyond intuition to measurable outcomes. This work provides a replicable framework for healthcare architects and administrators seeking to reduce errors and improve productivity. Dr. Sharma’s research bridges architecture, ergonomics, and healthcare management, offering practical solutions for complex institutional challenges. His findings continue to inform pharmacy design guidelines, making him a key reference for students and practitioners aiming to create safer, more effective clinical spaces through thoughtful, evidence-backed planning.
