- About This Article
It is commonly understood in the health care field that the appropriate environment for diagnostic, treatment and noninvasive procedures is an exam or treatment room and that invasive procedures are to be performed in an OR. There is less clarity when it comes to identifying the types of procedures for which a procedure room is the appropriate sett...
Each of the three basic clinical spaces — examination rooms, procedure rooms and ORs — has its own set of requirements in the FGI Guidelinesand criteria for design considerations, infrastructure and operations. A closer examination of the differences includes: Exam room. The simplest of the three basic room types is the examination (or treatment) r...
It is important for health care facility management teams, planners and designers to take the time at the start of a project to involve the right people and develop a clinical risk assessment based on the intended procedures, level of invasiveness, perceived risk of infection, acuity of the patients, amount of equipment, number of people needed and...
