Primary Care Centers -- Design and Construction
Guidelines for the design and construction of primary care centers are presented, emphasizing functionality and efficiency. A progressive analytical approach is proposed, beginning with establishing building costs and options. Building costs may be affected by the building design, government requirements and standards, quality of building, the selected construction approach, provisions for expansion, and the options for acquiring space. After the parameters for cost and design approach have been established, an architect or contractor is authorized to design and construct the facility. Nine primary work areas are designated for such facilities: examination room, medical work station, laboratory, screening room, treatment and/or emergency room, X-ray unit, reception and business area, waiting room, and an optional dental unit. Functional concerns are that space requirements should be matched to the operating program, and not vice versa. The design of components in the center is intended to accommodate professional and extender teams, to improve patient flow, to facilitate payment for services, to ensure timely recording and storage of patient information, and to accommodate the handicapped. Typical room sizes and equipment for the various intended work areas are listed, pointing out design solutions evolved through experience. Attention is also given to patient privacy and comfort. The appendixes contain sample design and development instruments and information on Federal requirements on construction.
