Area can be a more specific like as patient's ward, corridors, office area, lobby etc.
There is plenty of evidence that a connection to nature is beneficial and it's effects on patients recovery rates are well known. More detailed answers can be found in my publications posted here. Be careful how you try to answer the question, because if you provide natural lighting, there is a high probability that you also provide views out which are certainly important. These views may alos be of nature which is also shown to be important. If you specifically and only wanted to know about natural light as an abstract form of illumination you may find it difficult to isolate as a variable in field studies. Laboratory studies ar unlikely to yield knowledge about real patients etc. so you have some experimental design problems here.
Thanks Bryan R Lawson for your wonderful answer. I will definitely look onto the real studies by patients survey.
the simple answer where you have a patient's you need the natural light
