Regulations and the Impact on the Healthcare Environment
AHC's Fall Conference discusses regulatory changes in the design of healthcare facilities, in particular within occupied facilities, and through building a cancer center including a pharmacy component under new USP regulations.
In this session, we will discuss the regulatory process of building a cancer center including a pharmacy pursuant to the new USP 800 regulations due in December of 2019. This session will explain the processes of designing a multi-modality Clinic in a hospital setting. The session will explain the problems and successes of construction in an occupied building; sharing loading docks and elevators with hospital staff and vendors. As part of that we will discuss the safety planning of lifting an air handling equipment on the roof using a crane over occupied space.
The discussion will also include various methods of working with User Groups to obtain the best design that works with their processes including the use of bubble diagrams and physical space mock ups. There will be a discussion about “Guiding Principles” that used to determine finishes for the built structure as well as furniture and equipment and the process taken to apply these principles.
