Program Areas
Departmental block sizes are developed formulaically based on FGI program requirements calculated from the number of “point of care” spaces. A per year case count is used to baseline the number of procedural rooms needed. A final Room by Room list of programmed spaces is reviewed with Department Leads and On-The-Floor User groups.
Surveys of Existing
Accounting of existing spaces with allocation per department. Staff/Area studies tracking locations and employment type. Push/Pull database with Peoplesoft software.
