Implementing a New Doctrine for Health Facility Commissioning
The experiences of hospital facility managers and consideration of the existing doctrines for commissioning building facilities have prompted the development of a new commissioning doctrine specifically conceived for health facilities by a special committee of the American Society for Healthcare Engineering. The new Health Facility Commissioning Guidelines present a doctrine calling for various tasks in the commissioning process from planning through hand-off to the health facility's operations and maintenance staff. Facets of this new doctrine are explained, differentiating it from existing doctrines that might otherwise be relied upon. The organizational implications of adopting this doctrine for the delivery of health facilities are intended to bring efficiency to the project delivery system and enhance the communication among different stakeholders. A project that is piloting this new commissioning doctrine is described, and lessons learned through the early stages of this project draw attention to the real challenges and practical solutions devised to address them. Student interns are being employed in the task of documenting and analyzing this pilot implementation. Their major findings illustrate the needs for future study.
