Regulations Challenge Hospitals to Find Better Design Solutions
Complex regulations to be reviewed by hospital designers are considered. Some of the regulatory considerations include cost containment; constraints imposed by health systems agencies (HSA's); certificate of need; seismic design; barrier-free design; and local, State, and national building and safety codes. Projects of a firm in Nashville, Tenn. illustrate the architectural design and planning process. Case studies include the renovation and expansion of the Huntsville Hospital in Alabama; the design of the El Dorado Hospital in Tucson, Ariz.; and the renovation of the De Tar Hospital in Victoria, Tex. Regulations are more complex for renovations than for new hospital construction. It is essential to plan for the economic use of existing facilities. In all cases, a firm is faced with design constraints and must devise solutions to problems. Early consultations with regulatory code officials assist in flexible solutions to design problems. Included are two illustrations of the El Dorado Hospital.
